JSP vs Letting Agents

JSP vs Letting Agents – What are the benefits of renting your student accommodation in Lincoln direct from Jones Student Property and not going through an Estate or Letting Agent?

Jones Student Property 100% own and manage all our student houses in Lincoln.
Letting Agents only let the properties and sometimes manage them on behalf of a landlord.

Ownership of our student houses ensures that the condition is kept to the highest standards.
Letting Agents do not own the house so can not control the maintenance and condition.

Personal and caring service from a local Lincoln based family run student accommodation business, contactable 24 hours a day.
Agency staff leave work behind once the office is closed, we don’t have office hours, if you need us we are there.

24 hours emergency number answered by us and not a call centre.
Agencies may use out of hours call centres to take the calls, where messages will be taken and not dealt with until the following working day. You have our personal mobile details so you can always get hold of us and issues can be sorted quickly.

All our student houses in Lincoln offer the same level of student accommodation, and furnishings, including all bills, electric, water, gas, 600 MB internet and TV license. Making it simple to know what you are getting and paying for.
Agencies have to advertise what the landlord includes in each student house. This makes each house different depending on what the landlord offers.

Any repairs to our Student Accommodation is dealt with promptly.
Agencies have to seek quotations, then authorisation from the Landlord before works can be started, which can create long delays for tenants. As the owners of the properties, we can get straight on with sorting any issues out.

We DO NOT charge any application or admin fees for our student houses.
Most agencies ask for an application fee on applying to rent a property, this can be as much as £50 – £100 per person and is generally non refundable.

We are accredited landlords under the Council’s Trusted Landlord Scheme and also the National Residential Landlord Association.

Many agencies do not have any form of accreditation.
