👩💼 About Us: Experienced, Qualified, & Personal
We’ve been letting student homes in Nottingham since 1985. Our small, professional team includes:
- Paul Taylor MRICS
- Kate Taylor FRICS
- Emily Taylor MSc MRICS

All our surveyors are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), which means we follow a strict professional code of conduct, giving you extra peace of mind.
We own, manage, and maintain the houses ourselves, with no agents or offices—this keeps rents affordable and ensures you get personal, friendly service.
🔐 Secure, Comfortable, & Homely
- Every home is fitted with mains-powered burglar alarms and interlinked fire/smoke detection systems.
- Each bedroom has a lockable door with a key, so you can keep your belongings secure and never worry about being locked out.
🔒 Data Protection & Privacy
We take your privacy seriously. We’re registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and strictly follow GDPR regulations. We only store essential information and never share your data with marketing companies.
Your data is shared only when necessary, such as:
- With DPS for deposit protection
- With universities, UNIPOL, or local authorities when required
- With contractors or utility companies to arrange repairs or access
- With your housemates and guarantors, since your tenancy is joint
We always ask for your permission before sharing your details for anything else.
