What some current and former tenants have to say about Prospect Property:
"Andy is understanding, helpful and accommodating. He has gone out of his way to make us feel happier, safer and more at home in our house. I don't expect to have a landlord as willing to help again."

I really enjoyed living at no. 51 Hes Road, it was ideally situated and the house spacious and well cared for. Andy was the perfect landlord, little things like being able to paint our rooms whatever colour we liked made the place really feel like our own. Having a list of who to contact when things go wrong and knowing that we wouldn't have to battle to get money back for general house repairs gave great peace of mind too, as opposed to some of the horror stories you hear about students living in squalor because the landlord wont fix anything. Overall it was a fantastic two years!

One of the best things about being with Prospect Property was that you were able to contact the landlord whenever a problem occurred. Having the contact numbers of plumbers/ electricians in the local area was also very helpful as it meant that when problems occured, which they inevitably do, you did not have to panic. You knew who to contact and they were often able to come out that day to have a look what the problem was. Andy is an approachable, friendly landlord and the fact that he cares about his properties is apparent in the conditions that they are kept in!

My time at Hull Road was an enjoyable one and it was made all the better knowing that I had a reliable landlord who would quickly and efficiently solve any problems that occurred during my stay.

I recommended Prospect property to my first and second year friends, one of them thanked me after he had signed a contract, adding in a tone of amazement 'He actually likes students!'

Andy has always been friendly, accommodating and fair. Whenever we've had problems he's been over to discuss them with us and has always resolved them for us satisfactorily.

We have felt very lucky to have had such a good landlord throughout our time at uni, he deserves his good reputation.

It is useful to have a list of contact details if anything goes wrong. Andy is an excellent landlord-if we needed anything replacing it has been done immediately.

Andy is a friendly, approachable landlord and really seems to care about the welfare of his tenants. Any problems were dealt with efficiently and professionally and an up to date list of contacts was always provided. Intrusions were kept to a minimum and our privacy was respected. I have no complaints whatsoever!

I've been fortunate to live in a "Prospect Property" house for my final 2 years at York Uni (15 Heslington Road, 2003-2005). The standard of accommodation has been excellent and Andy (the landlord) compares very well with other landlords in the area that my firends have had! He is always helpful and manages to get people around to fix any problems (of which we have had few) very quickly and with minimum disruption. I would recommend Andy to anybody looking for a house in York.
James Harmer
Andy has people working for him who will come around regularly if anything needs fixing, but heand his team only come around when asked and they give plenty of notice if they need to call round. In the last two years he has always made it feel like  it is our home. He doesn't mind us putting our own stamp on our rooms (within reason!). Posters for example were no problem. Overall with Andy and Prospect Property you will have an excellent house and no hassle. It all makes uni life so much easier!  Tom, 15 Heslington Road
Tom Chisholm
Overall the standard of accommodation is fantastic with the landlord being amazing. Mervyn (maintenance man) has been a Godsend and is always there if we need him (even at 8pm on Sunday evening)! Thanks for two great years!

You should advertise your best points- we were really pleased to have a gardening service included in our rent but didn't know until they arrived!
The girls at Huntington Road
Great house, great location, but it needs double glazing! (landlords note - since 2009 the house is now fully double glazed).
The boys at 22 Siward Street 2007/8
A reliable landlord that would quickly and efficiently sort out any problems.
