Born out of frustration from the sub standard services being offered to us by local agents we decided to open our own agency to fill that gap.
We are a well established independently owned and family run estate agency specialising in the letting of student property. We pride ourselves on our expert local knowledge along with our hands on pro-active approach towards letting property which we feel gives us a competitive edge over our competition.
Our passion and determination to let property is matched only by our investment to leave no stone unturned with the extensive marketing and promotion of our properties. We are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to ensure that we are maximising the exposure of our properties to give our clients the best possible opportunity of a let during the small window of time in between academic years.
Maintaining a standard
Here at The SLS we only offer properties that pass our quality standards and qualify our landlords to ensure they are fit and proper. In return we offer the same back to our landlords by providing fit and proper tenants, both work hand in hand to ensure a smooth term to all.

Dolly
Having started my career as a student myself in 1997 for a large well established Estate Agency in Leeds, I have over 26 years of experience in the property sector.
I have covered most roles, from professional sales, lettings, property management, latterly as a Land Manager dealing with shared ownership and mixed affordable housing for various organisations and hosing associations.
I have a keen eye for detail, ensuring the day-to-day tasks of running a great agency are always covered – whether it be it helping student’s move into their first independent home and overcoming any teething issues, assisting landlords in managing their investments or keeping on top of all legal requirements and legislation.
Not one wanting to be a desk jockey, you can often see me with a hands-on approach getting involved in most day-to-day tasks required to help run a professional student letting agency, yes – that includes putting together copious amounts of student furniture with my electric drill. I love getting involved in physical work, so I often get stuck into most tasks.
On a professional side as a buy to let landlord myself, I also keep my eye on the pulse for good investments especially for our landlords looking to grow their portfolios. I thrive on hard negotiating with external companies on behalf of landlords from anything such as, buy to let insurances, maintenance works and even furniture packs for student properties.

Emily
Hi,
Having recently graduated from Northumbria University, I know firsthand how important it is to find the perfect student accommodation. Your time at university is filled with laughter and unforgettable memories, and your home should reflect that.
During my own university experience in Newcastle , I encountered letting agents who did not take student concerns seriously, leaving me and my friends often frustrated and lost on what to do.
I’m passionate about ensuring this does not happen to you! By making sure your housing experience is smooth and enjoyable, offering reliable and attentive support whenever you need it. Get in contact with me today.
