Both my daughters are now adults and they are now both at university.
Alex is in the final year of her Psychology degree at UEA in Norwich.
When she went back to her studies, we managed to get everything in the car and set off to her new accommodation. She’s moved on from the house she had in her 2nd year and the new place, although a little more expensive than last year (but I think that’s the case everywhere) is a vast improvement.
The room is twice the size of last year’s and has an en-suite, which is a good size with a spacious shower cubicle. She will share a kitchen with the other tenants and has access to a garage to store her bike.
Suffice to say it’s lovely, and I was happy with Alex’s choice of property. However, I was even happier to learn the landlord handled the property himself. Last year’s landlord used managing agents to deal with any issues with the house. This meant simple repairs took weeks and bigger ones took even longer!
The landlord met us at the property with the keys to her room. He explained the practicalities, codes for the back gate to access the garage, and details of the Wi-Fi (the router is in a cupboard right outside her door so broadband speeds should be excellent)
In the kitchen, he showed us Alex’s cupboards and the space she will have in the fridge and freezer, but in doing so he was mortified to discover the cupboards had not been cleared or cleaned and there was food in the fridge and freezer space.
So while Alex and I bought her things from the car, he dealt with this, cleaning the cupboards himself.
He obviously takes pride in the property and the level of service he provides to his tenants (there is a cleaner that comes in once a week to clean the hall and kitchen).
I think Alex will be happy there and that’s all I can ask for as her mother.
You’re probably wondering where I’m going with this.
Well, all I’m going to say is that I take pride in the services I offer and work to ensure that my clients get the knowledge and help they need to ensure their marketing works within the rules and regulations.
