Student lettings agency loc8me has expanded into York, its seventh northern city.<\/p>\n
The Loughborough-based business now operates in York alongside Newcastle, Durham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Hull as it grows its presence across the region’s university markets.<\/p>\n
Raffaele Russo, founder of loc8me, said: “Students in York have very clear expectations about where and how they want to live. It is a city that values quality, consistency and trust, and that aligns closely with how we’re looking to support those students.”<\/p>\n
The properties in York will be managed from the company’s regional office in Leeds and will operate under loc8me’s Seal of Approval framework, which sets standards for safety, presentation and quality.<\/p>\n
Loc8me will deliver its full property management service across York, home to more than 22,000 students, including tenancy management, maintenance coordination, compliance oversight and 24-hour tenant support.<\/p>\n
Russo added: “York strengthens our northern presence in a meaningful way and is such an important city in the region’s student market. Northern university cities deserve the same consistency and professionalism that students expect anywhere else in the country.”<\/p>\n
The expansion follows a strong year for loc8me, which facilitated more than 7,500 student moves across its UK portfolio while working with over 500 landlords.<\/p>\n
Loc8me now operates across 19 major university cities nationwide and manages more than 3,500 properties and 8,000 bedrooms for over 8,000 students.<\/p>\n
Founded in 2008, the business employs more than 75 staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
