Pickard Properties

I rented a house through Pickard Properties a few years ago and as letting agents go in Leeds, they are pretty good. In my time here I have trawled round so many houses and flats, looking at the grubby interior and mould growing on the walls whilst the cheerful agent tells me its a good sized property for the price. Thankfully this Pickards place was not damp or mould-​ridden but quite pleasant. There weren’t many problems with the house so there wasn’t a need to call them much, but the few times they did, they responded quickly.

It comes as no surprise to me that Pickard Properties has been voted as one of the best student letting agencies in Leeds by Leeds University students. One of the great things that they do is give students the option of having a rent that is all bills inclusive. I can’t stress enough how much of a great idea this is.
I like many people who indulge in shared student living had the misfortune to live with a person who had no concept of bill responsibly and paying for what you use. I found it is quite a common situation that when a bill comes into a shared student house there is always one person who can’t pay for a while or won’t discuss paying. This people are normally very immature and don’t realise the impact it can have on the people you live with. Friendships breakdown where money is involved and the idea of having rent that includes bills will stop so many unnecessary arguments and will also help student to budget correctly, no more huge gas bills just before you break up for the Christmas holidays.
