At Yellow Door Lets, we pride ourselves on our quality UNIVERSITY APPROVED student housing, but don’t just take our word for it… this is what our previous tenants had to say.

The Mission Flat 2
I was a tenant at 2 Westbourne Road in 2023/24. When I originally moved in, after reporting my bed was damaged and desk I was given a whole new replacement the next day. The standard of service is far greater than anything I expected. They were completely understanding, communicated effectively and have beautiful properties viewable. I would totally recommend Yellow Door Lets for any students.

Yellow Door Lets have been very attentive with any maintenance work we have needed and have always responded quickly to any issues I have. They have also been very helpful when it comes to rent and have allowed me to pay weekly when necessary for me. Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed nearly 2 years of living in a Yellow Door Lets property!

I’ve been with Yellow Doors for two years now and would thoroughly recommend them. They provide some of most spacious student properties in Lancaster, especially their studios which I have lived in one with my partner for two years. Their staff respond to any issues efficiently and quickly, making renting with them easy and enjoyable. All the staff I have encountered are friendly and supportive. Furthermore, they keep rent affordable which shows they have students in mind.

I would highly recommend yellow door lets to other students. From my first viewing to moving out of my flat, I had constant, quick and effective communication between myself and the landlord. Any issues I faced whether it was to do with the bins or appliances in the flat were fixed quickly and if they took longer, we had full communication about this. The flat was extremely clean when we moved in and the flat itself was gorgeous! I have rented from multiple companies throughout my 4 years at university, but I had my most positive experience with yellow door let's and would definitely recommend them!

Renting with Yellow Door Lets provided a sanctuary for me during a whirlwind of a university experience. Where the work demand was high, renting with them didn't add to the stress at all! I was able to begin my MA year with a clean home environment, and continue this standard throughout the months, thanks to the efficient response from Yellow Door Lets whenever I had a query. They genuinely care for, and tend to, your quality of student life, and deliver a service that prides itself on support and enthusiasm. I can't recommend them enough. University can be heavy, and these guys take some of the weight off.

I lived at YDL for a year for my year abroad and loved it. Not only did we have the opportunity to live with great other students. With the central location opposite Lancaster train station, we had great connections to the best spots. Wayne, the YDL team and especially the cleaners did a great job! Is something broken? Is something not working? The other day it was repaired or replaced. I can really recommend it to anyone who wants a stress-free stay in Lancaster!

I stayed with Yellow Door Lets for 2 years and couldn’t fault my experience. All bills are included in the rent price and they align their rent payment deadlines with student finance instalments, which eases the pressure on us as students. If we ever had any maintenance issues in the house, they would respond quickly, even on Sundays or holidays, and resolved the issue just as efficiently. Despite the quick turnaround between tenants, the house was clean when we moved in, and work was done over the summer to ensure the house was in the best condition when term started. Overall, I had a positive experience with Yellow Door Lets and would recommend their services to any student in Lancaster!

I used Yellow Doors Lets from 2022-24 and my experience renting student accommodation was nothing short of perfect. Throughout my tenancy Yellow Doors Lets were incredibly helpful. Any questions were answered quickly and any issues were resolved timely. Not only were they flexible and proactive regarding any issue but always hospitable in answering.I cannot think of a better Student Lettings company than Yellow Doors Lets.

I lived in a Yellow Door Lets property for my second and third year of University. As a University student, this was an excellent company to go with as the prices were incredibly fair and payments were scheduled based on loans. If there was ever an issue with the property, the landlord was always free to contact and resolved the issue almost instantly. Communication was always good and I thoroughly enjoyed living in this property.

I have rented with yellowdoorlets for two years and have been very impressed with the fast service for any house applications. They have been great communicators and have provided fast answers for any questions I have asked through email or through SMS. The use of having an in person store has also made switching houses and signing contracts much easier.

Yellow door was a great company to rent from. Very happy with our accommodation in the first place and in the rare case we had any issues we quickly had these resolved. The best renters I have used!

Yellow Door Lets are a very reliable housing company that offers many houses that are what they say they are. It's great that you get discounted weekly bills for staying with them for another year. Another positive comment is that the response to any maintenance issues about the house comes with great haste and help. An example is the washing machine door not opening, after a quick email, Yellow Doors sent a technician over within a couple of hours to fix it.

I have enjoyed living at 53 Golgotha Road for the last 2 years, it is generally a very good house especially compared to others that I have seen. The facilities are good, especially the shower/bathroom which has been recently renovated. The beds are comfy and my room is a good size. Whenever we have any problems the repair people are always very quick to come and sort it out.

Having used multiple letting agencies throughout my time in Lancaster, I found Yellow Doors to be by far the most accommodating and reasonable of any other. From reasonable rates, fast and friendly communication, and really helpful staff, particularly Wayne and Lewis, I was very satisfied with the company's professionalism. Have highly recommended to friends looking for accommodation in Lancaster as I could not have asked for much more.

Having lived with Yellow Door Lets for multiple years whilst living in different properties, I must say the experience was very positive. Due to how contracts operate, I was able to continue my part time work and store my possessions during summer term. Special thank you to the management which responds to queries and maintenance requests in a very fast prompt manner. Also, maintenance which were easy to communicate with, is positive and fixes all the issues. I would definitely recommend Yellow Door Lets to all students studying in Lancaster.

My housemates and I enjoyed our time at Portland Street, Lancaster. The house was really well laid out and the open plan kitchen/living room was really sociable. Location was great. We were all in our final year so stayed in the house more. Maintenance and management were always really helpful and responded very quickly. It was great value for money, overall a great place to live with friends.

My 3rd year at Lancaster was a very busy year which was made easier by having no stresses about my accommodation. From previously having had a bad experience with a different student accommodation provider, it was refreshing to never experience any issues with Yellow Doors. Communication was fantastic, with quick and clear replies. There were times where Yellow Door went above and beyond when I know other companies would not have done the same. Their staff were friendly and approachable during viewings and maintenance. You could tell they had mine and my house mates best interests at heart. The property we lived in was spacious and had all the necessities. My only negative feedback would be about the cleanliness of the property upon first arrival. There were certain signs that a full deep clean had not been carried out with cobwebs and dirt in corners of rooms. However, this was only a minute detail. Thanks Yellow Door for ensuring there were no additional stresses in my final year of my undergraduate.

I've been staying with yellow door lets throughout my studies at Lancaster University and it has been the best accommodation for me. All facilities that I needed have always come with the properties I've rented and are accessible even to house of a lot of tenants. Whenever an issue has come up, the yellow door lets team have been quick to solve the problem thoroughly. Would recommend to any student wishing to live outside of campus due to affordable rent and good range properties suited to any number of tenats and needs required.

My time renting with Yellow Door Lets was pretty positive overall as the level of service and support from them was great as they were always quick to respond to any issues or queries. In the majority of cases we had somebody around the next day, no questions asked, even if the issue had only been raised the night before. The staff were always friendly over phone and email and were super flexible with rent payments and rent reminders, especially for those with student finance. Furthermore, Yellow door is one of the few providers that offer us reduced rent during the first 8 weeks of the contract, which was a welcome discount too! Our house was cleaned to a good level, fully furnished and even had gigabit internet which was incredible after having had pretty impressive internet during my time on campus. The inclusion of bills in the listed price was a nice addition and added peace of mind especially since we were all moving out of University halls for the first time. Overall, I would definitely recommend Yellow Door Lets to students seeking quality accommodation, especially for those just moving out of halls.

Yellow Door Lets is a great letting agency that always pleasantly surprises me with how committed they are to making sure your tenancy is stress free. Any issues I’ve ever had have been quickly dealt with, ranging from a leaking boiler to a low battery carbon monoxide alarm. No issue is too big or small and all are dealt with quickly and professionally, usually a reply email to any concerns is received the same day it was sent. When we moved in the property was in excellent condition and the garden is regularly maintained over the holiday periods. Overall, they are an excellent letting agency that really puts students first and looks after their tenants

I’ve been with Yellow Door for two years now, they’re super friendly and efficient when it comes to household issues. They’re even renovating our house over the holidays to give us an extra toilet and shower! It’s clear they really care about the houses and the students living in them.

A lot of the time, when I think about student landlords, the perception is pretty negative. Mouldy houses, broken boilers, rats and cramped rooms. Yellow Door has had none of these things. From the start of my tenancy, which has gone on for two years now, yellow door always goes above and beyond to help out with any issues, sometimes even sending someone out on the same day! The house is lovely, reasonably priced, especially with bills, and the staff have been polite and quick throughout the entire tenancy. I would genuinely recommend it to anyone looking for a place!

Living with Yellow Door Lets in my second year was great, and working as a House Viewing Assistant in both my second and third years was such a good experience. The team was really friendly, and it was a nice way to gain some work experience while studying. The house was well looked after, and I’d definitely recommend them to other students who are looking for accommodation outside of campus.

I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed living in a Yellow Door Lets house last year. The rooms were spacious, particularly the kitchen and I loved the amount of light in the rooms even in winter. Had no problems with the landlord or issues round the house, instead it was a smoothly run place. Hand on heart would not change anything regarding the house and loved my year there making some wonderful memories with great people in a fantastic building.

Firstly, I would like to say that the staff that visited the property at the beginning of our tenancy, asking of we had any issues or concerns, were extremely friendly, polite and appeared to really care about the issues we raised. This was nice to see that we weren't just numbers or names, and Yellow Doors actually wanted us to live comfortably and have the best possible experience in the property. The viewing of properties, signing of contracts and moving in/out were easy and we encountered no issues.

Having been with Yellow Door Lets for two years, where I resided with five others, I can honestly say my experience was nothing short of 10/10. The rent was very cost-effective, much cheaper than other letting agencies in Lancaster, and I had a great landlord-to-tenant relationship with them. All issues/ complaints were resolved immediately, allowing all six tenants to live stress-free and enjoy their university experience. So, if you’re a student looking for a rental in Lancaster, there is no doubt Yellow Door Lets is the one for you.

I had a great 2 years with YDL. Issues with appliances were answered quickly, with maintenance people often coming the same day if we reported early enough. Staff always gave us lots of notice when someone would be visiting for checks or house viewings, which was much appreciated.

I've just got to say that Wayne really looked after us in our time with you. He was always quick to get things repaired and he installed a camera on our front door when our Neighbours were a bit aggressive with their knocking. We also had a real issue with trash in our house, and Wayne let us know it wasn't okay, leading to a slow but steady improvement to our trash management so we weren't living like slobs. Thanks, Wayne, for all your help. Cheers

Staying with Yellow Door Lets was a very pleasant experience. Moving in was easy as everything was already set up for us. Whilst we had a few issues during our time in the house, Yellow Door Lets were always quick to respond to us and sort things out, even following up on past issues just to make sure things got fixed. I would definitely recommend them to any students looking for housing, the entire process from viewing the house to signing was super easy. Thank you for the smooth experience of housing last year!

Yellow Door Lets has truly been an excellent housing agency during my time in Lancaster. Their dedication to tenant wellbeing is exceptional, with personal check-ups and swift action whenever an issue arises. Whether it’s addressing maintenance concerns or ensuring we’re looked after during challenging times like winter or the rising cost of living, they consistently prioritize our comfort and peace of mind. Thanks to their reliable service and thoughtful approach, my living experience in Lancaster has been significantly improved. I highly recommend Yellow Door Lets to anyone seeking dependable and considerate housing support.

My experience with Yellow Door Lets has been a positive one. I have greatly appreciated Wayne and all the work he has done, solving problems and being a middle man between us students and yellow doors. Having a real person to contact makes customer service amazing. As such I would recommend Yellow Door Lets to any Lancaster (or other) students looking to live in Lancaster during their studies.

Yellow Door Lets are in my opinion the best student letting agency in Lancaster. Compared to some of the horror stories I have heard from my peers regarding other letting agencies, Yellow Door Lets have been easy to contact, proactive and keep students up to date with any evolving developments, this has been greatly appreciated. Overall, a great letting agency, would highly recommend.

"I rented with Yellow Doors for my final year at Lancaster having rented with another Letting Agent the year before. The difference in service provided by Yellow Doors was so much better and professional. Overall the service provided was very efficient and of high quality. The Yellow Doors staff were receptive and attentive to any problems and queries raised during my tenancy. Issues raised were attended to quickly and without fuss. As student tenants we were never made to feel like a burden; rather we were treated as valued Yellow Door customers and our safety and comfort was paramount. Invariably, problems happen in multiple occupied houses with heating and water supplies and getting these mended quickly is critical, especially when the weather is bad in the winter months. Our house also had issues with prospective viewings of our property which kept being cancelled because the viewers never turned up. Because of the disruption caused, as a goodwill gesture Yellow Doors sent the house bottles of beer and wine. This was a lovely gesture and much appreciated by all of the house. This was a typical measure of how Yellow Doors treat students as valued tenants like anyone else. I was also impressed with how Yellow Doors protected my deposit and returned it after conducting the necessary inventory and inspection. My experiences with other Letting Agents has been that they have used any opportunity to eat into my deposit and retain as much as possible. I therefore highly recommend Yellow Doors as a student Letting Agent."

I lived in one of your properties in my third year of university with 4 other girls. Our experience with you was nothing short of excellent. Coming off the back of a terrible letting experience with a different company in Lancaster in second year, we were delighted with the experience we had! Any issues we had were quickly and efficiently resolved. Issues were rapidly solved and never came up again! University can be a stressful time and this stress can be exacerbated by a poor experience with a letting company. I can’t thank you enough for the ease of our experience with you and I recommend highly to all students in Lancaster.

Yellow Door Lets provided a sizeable house at a reasonable price. It was appreciated that they offered to provide a kitchen renovation over Easter rather than after our tenancy ended even though this couldn't be implemented as people were staying in the house over the holidays. Always quick to respond to maintenance issues.

The Railton Flat 4
Here is my feedback on flat 4 at 2 Station Road, LA1 5SJ. The flat was a perfect opportunity for me to live with six friends but still have my own private room and bathroom. The spacious living room and kitchen gave us the chance to get together and cook or just hang out. I also appreciated that every Monday and Thursday a cleaning lady came to clean the living room and our bathrooms. All in all, I had a good time living in flat 4 for a year.

I have been a resident with Yellow Door Lets for five years in five different houses. Each house I have been in has been exceptionally well maintained, spotlessly cleaned before I moved in, and all fixtures and fittings are of a high standard. Contracts are clear and fair, and rents are great value for money. All the team (both admin and maintenance) at Yellow Door Lets have been fantastic, always available, friendly, and professional. Any maintenance issues I have had have always been dealt with promptly (usually same day). Everyone at YDL has always gone above and beyond to help any issues me or my housemates have had. Communication has always been fantastic; notice is given before any maintenance visits. Having somewhere to store my stuff over the summer is a massive reason why I have chosen Yellow Door Lets for the last five years. All houses are safe and secure which is extra important for a student house which is likely to be unoccupied over the holidays. Over my five years I have also successfully recommended them to many of my friends, all of whom are happy to have signed with Yellow Door Lets. It’s evident that the team at YDL genuinely care about the well-being and satisfaction of their tenants. Being with Yellow Door Lets means that I have had no worries about my accommodation, this has made my university experience much better and far easier. Many thanks to everyone at Yellow Door Lets!

I’ve been a resident at the same property for 2 years now – going into my third and must say Yellow Door Lets have been wonderful. Whenever contacted about an issue, they come round within 1-2 days so fix the problem. Unlike many students, we have remained in the same house and this has been made very easy by Yellow Door as they have been lenient with tenancy agreements and also rent payments – they understand that we are students and only get enough money when our maintenance loan comes in. Very happy to be doing another year with them.

I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Yellow Door Lets. Their efficiency in handling repairs was truly impressive – quick turnaround without compromising on quality. The reasonable prices for their services were a breath of fresh air in the often daunting world of student accommodations. What stood out even more was their openness to suggestions. They not only listened to my concerns but actively sought feedback, making me feel valued as a customer. Choosing Yellow Door Lets was undoubtedly a smart decision, and I highly recommend their services to fellow students seeking reliable and affordable accommodation solutions.

Overall my experience with Yellow Door Lets has been significantly positive and enjoyable! They provide locations with spacious living areas, most within short walking distance to town centre, bus stops and train station. The house was very clean upon move in and responsiveness to sort out any issues in house was very apt and well communicated. Encounters with Wayne, Lewis and all Handymen has been extremely helpful and pleasant. Move out instructions were also very clear – I recieved full deposits back both years with the agency. I have strongly recommended and will continue to recommend Yellow Door Lets to freshers and placement students who are seeking accommodation in Lancaster. Thanks again for a great couple of years!

I’ve been with yellow door let’s for 3 years now, coming into my final year with them. The most prominent feature that stands out about yellow door lets is the attentiveness of staff. Any problems that me and my flat mates have encountered over the three years, whether that be with internet issues or bits of furniture that need replacing, a simple text has sufficed. Always looking to please tenants by assuring the living conditions are kept to a high standard with a prompt response time. Thankyou!

I was a tenant with yellow door for 2 academic years at Lancaster and always had a fantastic experience renting with them, over that period they were extremely friendly and helpful if anything ever came up with the houses, they were prompt with their responses and I lived at 2 good properties for very reasonable prices. Having rented with a different company in a previous I can say hands down they are head and shoulders above and would absolutely recommend them over any other company in Lancaster!” Lastly thank you for all your help over the last 2 years it’s been a pleasure to rent with you, all the very best.

Living in a Yellow Door property was an easy and stress-free process. Wayne and Lewis were always quick to respond to any queries and all service/maintenance issues were usually sorted within just a few hours of contacting them. Both the moving in and moving out processes were painless, I think this is one of the few lettings agencies that understands and actually accommodates students as their clientele.

I’ve highly enjoyed my time renting for yellow doors. I still have the mug they gave me when I signed their contract. They communicate quickly and effectively and were able to send people to sort out any issues on the property promptly. I have no real complaints, my time with them was good..

Yellow door let’s got us in contact with 2 of the residents in a four bedroom house, arranged a meeting and helped us to all work together to sign the contract. The house was lovely, the bills being all included which is a win, and they were always super quick to fix any problems we had or answer any questions. Recommend to all students for the casual, straight to the point antique of yellowdoors

I would like to thank you very much for the great accommodation I was able to live in for the past year. Thank you for helping me personally regarding the rent and for accommodating me. For being available at all times and quickly when we needed help and for being so nice. Together we could always find a solution to any problem. I have made great memories in this house. I can only recommend Yellow Door Lets. Thank you very much!

I rented the Railton Flat 1. The rooms themselves and the facilities were fantastic, everything was in working order for the whole year and there were no issues with utilities or cleanliness. The staff responded to any queries in a timely manner and any issues (there were very few), were quickly resolved. The cleaners were lovely and did a great job in the kitchen and bathrooms. Thank you.

I would like to just say that I have loved being in this house this year and a big part of this is yellow door let’s providing a great service and home. The garden also is something that I have enjoyed this year as not many other University properties have a garden as nice and big as we did. I have nothing negative to say about living in this house and send a massive thank you to yellow door let’s for their service.

I lived in a yellow door let’s property in Lancaster in my final year at university and can confirm they were the best landlords I had while studying at Lancaster. They were very attentive and the maintenance team were very helpful and you could rely on them to fix any issues in the house – which is more than can be said for other student housing companies. If you’re looking to rent student housing in Lancaster I can’t recommend yellow door let’s enough.

I lived in a yellow door lets property between 2021-23 and have attached my testimonial below. I lived in 17 Saint Oswald Street for 2 years and really loved it! Yellow Door Lets was extremely helpful in handling any issues and work on the house was always done quickly. The house itself was really spacious, had nice views and in a great location for getting buses onto the Lancaster University campus as well as walking into the town centre.

I could not recommend Yellow Door Lets enough to students at Lancaster University. I was a tenant with them for 3 years at 2 different houses. YDL is strong on communication; when emailed with a query, big or small, they would reply instantly with a solution and keep me updated if any mechanics or builders were on their way. Overall I would rate YDL 5 stars as they made living in a new city easy and enjoyable.

I’ve just moved out of 16 Albion street and wanted to say thank you for the fantastic service we’ve received for the last 3 years.

So thank you very much – we have really loved living in the yellow doors properties and will recommend them to any students that ask us.

The Railton Flat 4
I was a tenant in the past academic year of the Railton property in Lancaster. Overall, the property is in excellent condition and is very good-looking. I want to emphasise the exemplary service of the Yellow Door Lets team. Wayne was our man for everything. Whenever we had the tiniest problem, he was always available to help and fix the problem as soon as possible. Oftentimes, he was able to solve the issue within a couple of hours, if not the next day. Furthermore, I would like to mention the great service of Wayne and Yellow Door Lets in advance of moving into the flat. It was a pleasure staying at one of the flats of Yellow Door Lets, and I would highly recommend it to anyone planning to study in Lancaster and looking for accommodation.

The Railton Flat 2
One of the biggest positives of staying at a yellow door lets property, was the staff involved and service provided. By this I mean: I had confidence that any issues I had would be quickly responded to and a solution would either be finalised or arranged within the following few days. There wasn’t the stress of not only having problems with something with accommodation but also landlords not replying in a reasonable time – which I know some of my friends have had to deal with elsewhere. I also think one of the benefits of YDL’s was the flexibility in paying rent, they were understanding of the fact we are students and we get our loans on varying dates, so we might not be able to pay on time, but know we would when our rent did come through. Again, another big stress avoided. Overall, the property was in a good location and had good facilities.

I stayed at a yellow door house for my second year of university and found that the house was very good value for money and the staff were easy to contact and helpful. Lewis was very easy to contact and was always very helpful and kind if I ever had an issue. I would definitely recommend yellow door lets due to the amazing service and kindness of Lewis especially. The rooms are clean and spacious and good value for money and I had a very positive experience staying in a yellow door house.

Having yellow door let’s as a landlord was brilliant they was so reliable, if there were any query’s or any problems with anything they would get it sorted as soon as possible. Where as I have been with other student accommodations, they are not even half as reliable and often took around 10 working days to get back in touch with you. It was the best thing moving in with yellow door let’s, as you also felt as though you was getting value for your money. As well as a sense or security if anything went wrong they would be able to sort it out as soon as possible which is usually the next day in my case.

I really enjoyed my time with Yellow Door Lets last year! They fixed all the issues we had with our home including installing a new hob and fixing our dryer. They were by far the fastest at answering queries, and the people that came to fix things were all kind and polite, which was really comforting especially in the stressful exam season. I recommended Yellow door to all of my friends staying at Lancaster as when I had emergencies there was always someone to speak to on the phone too. It really doesn’t get much better than them.

I’ve been living in the same yellow door lets property for just under three years since I left uni halls in second year and have loved most of my experience. Lockdown was a weird period in life for everyone but living in an actual house instead of a flat or uni run accommodation made it much more comfortable for me. My housemates and I have enjoyed making this place our own to the extent we can and spent so many nights relaxing and having fun here. The property manager Wayne has always been accessible if we needed him and any issues we’ve had with the property have been sorted out as soon as possible. It has been a well managed system and very understanding when it comes to waiting on loans and such to pay rent. Overall, I’m glad I went with a yellow door property and chose to stay throughout my uni experience, it has made life simple and comfortable having a home away from home. Thank you for making life easy!

Overall Yellowdoorlets experience was good. They fixed all the issues as soon as they came up – like changing a broken oven, the wifi or a broken washing machine door. They informed in advance of things happening in our flat – like a fire safety test or electricity works. We even got a bike rack built for us to store our bikes.

67 Prospect Street
I rented with Yellow Door Lets in my second year, and I am very glad that I did! As this academic year took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, myself and my housemates knew that we would face some difficulties. However, YDL have been nothing but supportive and efficient during this time. They were very respectful when our house was taking viewings for the following year; they kept us well informed of the date and time of every visit, and ensured that everyone who came into our house was wearing a mask and respecting the guidelines. This made us feel more at ease and proved to us how trustworthy YDL are! Whenever we had any maintenance issues, our requests were acknowledged almost immediately, and the issue was often fixed later that day. During our first month in the house, we faced a personal and stressful situation, but YDL were very supportive and communicative in helping us resolve this issue, which we were all very grateful for. You really can go to them about anything. Overall, living with YDL gave me a positive and comfortable space during a wild, unprecedented year!

Living with yellow door let’s was great! After renting from them in second year, it was an obvious choice to live with them again in third year. Their properties are kept to a high standard, they were always quick to solve any problem and they even go the extra mile to replace or fix any furniture!
29/07/2021
I have been a tenant with Yellow Door Lets for 2 years during my 2nd and 4th years, the experience has been wholly satisfactory and even outstanding at times with specific reference to the speed and care when responding to problems. Far better than any other student landlord I have heard of! Thanks 😊

The experience with Yellow Doors was consistently positive. Our Landlord has always taken care of any concerns immediately and any issue were resolved quickly. However, due to the impeccable condition of the apartment, a complaint was almost never necessary. Overall, Yellow Door apartments at the Railton were the most well-maintained and beautiful apartments in Lancaster for students. I can only recommend them again and again.

Yellow Door Lets were an excellent landlord to have. They gave us a huge new freezer when ours over-frosted, immediately fixed our washing machine and gave me the chance to earn some extra cash by trusting me to show potential new tenants around houses across Lancaster. The homes they offer are all unique and of a good quality for student budgets, with the great customer service they provide being the cherry on top.

Yellow doors have been great from start to finish of the 3 years I have been renting from them. The house is very comfortable and any problems that do occur are solved by yellow doors/their teams within a couple of weeks maximum of us reporting the issue. We have even requested a couple of things such as new blinds/coat hooks and these have been put in place promptly and free of charge too. The communication between yellow doors and us as tenants is always clear and organised. Overall I would recommend using Yellow Door Lets."

I have lived with Yellow Door Lets for two and a half years so far. They have always been prompt with responding to enquiries, within a few hours or days depending on its urgency. Household utility problems have always been fixed promptly, and they put in extra effort to ensure tenants are satisfied with their house. All my housemates agree that Yellow Doors have been excellent throughout, and I will always recommend them to anyone looking for accommodation.

I’ve rented with Yellow Doors for 3 years now. I have been very impressed with Yellow Doors, they always deal with any house issues very quickly. The rent pricing is very reasonable, they are always willing to negotiate on increases as well. They replaced our oven for a brand new one on a day’s notice. We’ve felt very lucky to have chosen them! Definitely the best landlords in Lancaster, we recommend them to everyone we know who’s looking for a place to live.

I can give nothing but positive feedback to Yellow Door Let’s. They are 100x better than the other student letting agency I was a tenant with in my second year. When we arrived at the house at the start of the tenancy it was clean, tidy and had recently been repainted and re-carpeted. The Yellow Door team were extremely responsive to any issues we had and were always willing to help. On one occasion, our front door lock had broken. Within 20 minutes of reporting the issue, the team had sent a locksmith out to solve the problem. Highly recommend looking at Yellow Door Let’s for your next student house!

his is my second year living in a yellow door let’s house and I have already signed for my house next year during my masters. I have found living in a yellow doors house to be a really good experience!! There is never too much to ask, anytime anything needs fixing, changing or sorting, there has been a quick response! In my first house, we had some boiler issues which were sorted within 2 or 3 days, meaning we didn’t have to worry about it. We have also had furniture replaced when needed and that is always pretty much within the same day as contacting yellow doors.I have also been offered various payment plans to help me with paying the rent in a way that suites me which is something I haven’t heard of happening with other letting agencies. Yellow door let’s go above and beyond to help.

For students looking to rent in lancaster, I honestly cannot recommend Yellow Doors highly enough! What stood out to me the most was how eager they always were to help out, if there were any issues at all in our home they would respond immediately and always send someone over or find a way to help out usually within a day or two! It was so nice knowing that if anything went wrong they would be there to help right away. All the houses are also kept to a very high standard, if necessary Yellow Doors were not afraid to replace a carpet or re-paint the walls if they weren’t up to scratch, the homes feel very comfortable, cared for and so easy to settle into! All of the employed student helpers are incredibly friendly and eager to help, as students they also understand what you’re looking for in a home and it makes the process of house hunting very exciting! The rent prices are amazing considering the standard of the houses, and it was another layer of comfort knowing that bills were included so there was no need to stress about paying for extra utilities bills. I had an incredible experience living with Yellow Doors for 2 years in Lancaster and I honestly cannot speak highly enough of them!

I rented with YDL for 2 years during my degree and never regretted choosing them as my letting agency. As with most student houses, we did have some issues with the property but these were minor and boiled down to wear and tear. However, it is how they dealt with these issues and communicated with us as tenants that made renting with them a positive experience. Most issues were solved either on the day or the next day after reporting them. Issues that couldn’t be fixed quickly (i.e. needed external contractors) were dealt with swiftly. Finally all the staff I personally spoke with at YDL were polite, responsive and understanding of student circumstances such as student finance and rent deadlines. Whilst I have friends who encountered issues with other student letting agencies, I know that my housemates and I had no issues with YDL and would recommend them to other students

We were very grateful to live in one of your properties, where every single problem or issue wasn’t too big or too small. Every time we emailed/rang about a problem, it was fixed within 24 hours, and anything we needed replacing was always replaced immediately. I just wanted to thank you for being a great landlord, and making the last two years in your property relaxing and enjoyable.

I lived at 45 Golgotha Road for 2 years during my time at Lancaster University and truly loved the house. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a student housing company as I had heard negative things from students in the past. Yellow Doors Lets wonderfully surprised my housemates and I as we only ever had positive experiences with our accommodation. We moved into a newly decorated 6 bedroom house and quickly learnt that the staff of Yellow Door Lets were trustworthy, reliable and more than happy to help with any problems we had; with quick response times too. We felt safe and well looked after as tenants so decided to stay at the same house for two years! As a student I would highly recommend Yellow Door Lets as I felt like they truly cared about students and their wellbeings. My parents also felt happy with me living there.

I would struggle to come up with any negatives of my experience as a tenant with Yellow Door Lets. The house we moved into had undergone a complete refurbishment over summer and was a very pleasant surprise when I moved in. Any time we had a problem the experience was the same: our email would be responded to within a few hours maximum, someone would be round to look at it either on the same day or the next day, and the problem was resolved without hassle every time. On top of solving all our issues, all the staff were very friendly and never gave the impression that we were bothering them. After hearing horror stories about other students’ experiences with housing companies, I was very nervous about renting for the first time, but these worries were unnecessary as being a tenant with Yellow Door Lets was a completely positive one.

I had the chance of living at 43 for two years in a row and I absolutely loved it! Whenever we had any issue, big, small or medium, someone always came around and fixed it in less that 48 hours.

I’ve been with Yellow doors for two years and have rented two properties with them! When we arrived both houses were in immaculate condition and everything was furnished to a really high standard! The wifi was always really consistent with strong signal which wasn’t expected as there were nine of us in the first property! The office are also so welcoming and lovely, as were the employees who showed us around the properties. Unlike other Lancastrian letting agents, the yellow doors team are also very, very quick at responding to issues and queries and made our time in Lancaster a very smooth, comfortable and fun one! Would recommend to any student looking for great accommodation!

I lived at a Yellow Doors property in my 2nd year of university and I couldn’t recommend them enough! The house was lovely, and clean for when we moved in. With new carpets fitted and brand new mattresses supplied before we moved in. As with any home, problems happen, but the Yellow Doors team are quick to respond to any emails regarding problems that occurred, and were understanding regarding any of the issues that we had. If there was any work that was due to occur on the house it was emailed to us in advance and they made sure that it did not interfere with anything. We had a new bathroom fitted along with fire security doors, which was conducted over Christmas to ensure that it did not interfere with our studies. Overall, the team at Yellow Doors are amazing and I could not recommend them enough for your student house!

Being a tenant of Yellow Door Lets meant living in a high-quality house where most issues would be promptly fixed. The team are very understanding and are willing to work with you with any issues you may have. Just make sure you take care of the house and you won’t have any problems.

I thoroughly enjoyed living in a Yellow Door Lets property last year. They were very quick to reply and fixed any problems we had within 24 hours; sometimes within an hour of sending the email. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a student house in Lancaster!

This is a quick email just to say that Yellow doors were a very catering agency. At no point during the academic year had our flat had to wait more than several days to receive aid within our house. No matter come rain or shine, somebody was sent to the flat. All their workers were very polite and respectful people. Could not really have asked for much more from a letting agency.

My experience with Yellow Door Lets has been nothing but positive. This is my second year living with Yellow Doors and it’s been a pleasure. Nothing is too much to ask. Any repairs, changes in furniture, and general inquiries are dealt with almost immediately. It’s so reassuring knowing that problems (which we encounter rarely) will be dealt with in such a speedy way. Living with Yellow Door Let’s has been nothing but accommodating, and understanding, especially this year. All of the staff are unbelievably kind, and you couldn’t ask for a more reassuring, understanding group of staff to communicate with. We’ve never experienced the nightmares some students have with their landlords, and I’ve never met another person who has had an experience with Yellow Door different to my own. I have overwhelmingly good things to say about Yellow Door and would recommend them to anyone! Thanks for everything you do!

I’ve been a Yellow Door Lets tenant for two years now and I wish I’d been one for all three. From my experiences, the houses are really good value and are always kept in very good condition. If there’s ever any sort of problem, all you need to do is text Wayne and he’ll get someone to come and sort it out the same day if it’s urgent. I would highly recommend Yellow Door Lets to any student looking for housing.

I have lived at 22 Railway Street for almost 4 years. The house is in a great location – near the town and university. It is also very close to the RLI which is useful for medical/ healthcare students. Yellow door lets have always been very prompt to fix any problems we have and keeping us informed. The house has everything we need – including a tumble drier which is very useful. Overall very happy with renting with Yellow door lets and would recommend them.

I have lived with Yellow Door Lets for 2 years. The service from them has been amazing. If there was ever an issue within the house, someone would be round to fix it that day. We once had an issue with the boiler on a Sunday afternoon and the engineer came out that evening. The staff were friendly and helpful and all emails and messages were replied to quickly. The properties themselves were well kept, clean and comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed renting from Yellow doors and would still be with them if they offered 2 bedroom properties.

Yellow Door Lets are a well-managed company who offer friendly and efficient service. Any requests that I had, whether it be minor or major, they always sent out somebody within 24 hours to fix the issue. Also the unlimited utility bill allowance that they offer is very generous, and removes all worries surrounding future unexpected bill payments.

I will provide two bits of feedback, both positive, I will use an example – My fire alarm showed a fault, emitting an annoying beeping noise, and it was fixed immediately, service which I see as very good. To summarise – outstanding service.

My experience with Yellow Door Lets was nothing but positive. The house I stayed in was comfortable and any maintenance issues were always solved quickly. Any interactions we shared were pleasant and the people were so helpful. Yellow Door Lets exceeds the standard set by other letting agents in Lancaster, and I would certainly rent a house through them again.

My experience with renting with Yellow Door Let’s was entirely positive. I wish that we had found them in our second year as we had a nightmare rental situation in the house we previously stayed in. But the difference between that year and our third year in the YD let was polar opposites. From being able to move our things in over summer, to the ease of being able to get in touch about any issues, it was such a weight off to know that any problems we could have dealt with. We had issues sometimes with our boiler which was entirely a maintenance problem but we they responded so quickly and had people out to check on it very often- a necessity when it’s winter in Lancaster. Furthermore, the house had really good amenities as the kitchen was well kitted out for the number of us there were, the TV was one of the best we had seen in any other houses we looked around also, and the washing machine both washed and dried (rare). Overall, the experience of letting with Yellow Door was a hugely positive one. It allowed you to not have to worry about landlords who were just looking for reasons to take your money and deposit. Also, the house was great for us all and provided us with space and comfort so there’s not much you can ask for.

The experience I had was amazing. The house was well set up and we were made to feel very welcomed with the housing company. If there was any maintainable that needed doing or anything we needed changing, the service was extremely quick and really helped us have minimal stress throughout our final year at university. Would highly recommend.

Yellow Door Lets have been a great company to live with for the past two years. They are extremely reliable and have always been quick to respond to any issues we have had: no problem is too big or too small. They are some of the more affordable accommodation but they do not cut corners to keep costs down; all insurance, bills and maintenance is included in the price, unlike other companies. I would highly recommend.

Since my first year I have only stayed with Yellow Door Lets for my entire degree and it was the best choice I could have made, Simply the best thing about YDL is that they care about their tenants. I have never had a problem or issue with a house that was ever unaddressed. They have dedicated staff to make sure that your stay is as pleasant as possible. I often avoid recommendations, however, I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Yellow Door Lets to any student.

The location of 10 Hubert Place was brilliant, just a short walk from the middle of town and the bus stop which came in very handy when needing to go onto campus. Secondly the house itself was very nice perfectly clean upon arrival and the layout was nice with a good sized kitchen and living room. Thirdly whenever we had any issues or complaints they would be dealt with extremely quickly which is a very important aspect I believed.

I couldn’t recommend yellow door lets enough!I rented with yellow door lets for three years whilst studying at Lancaster University and it was the best decision I ever made. Having lived in two different properties by yellow door lets, I have a lot of experience with the letting agency! Everyone who works for yellow door lets is very friendly and helpful! By the end of my three year experience I considered them friends! Whenever something needed fixing or managing, they were a phone call away. Both houses I stayed in were very clean and safe! I am very happy to have rented with yellow door lets for three years!

Letting with Yellow Door Lets was a really easy and stress-free experience. The staff are really friendly and get back to you really quickly. Any issues we had with the house (there weren’t many) were resolved quickly. Major changed e.g. replacing broken fridge or tumble dryer were usually complete in 48 hours. Even small changes were acknowledged and dealt with professionally and quickly. The property was maintained really well and we had no issues with electric, heating, plumbing, etc. The house was clean and it good condition when we arrived. Payment is really easy too, they let you pay by bank transfer which is so useful! Would definitely recommend and I have even convinced friends to let with Yellow Doors next year.

I rented with Yellow Doors for my final year at university, and they were the best student lettings company I have ever dealt with. On the whole they dealt with any problems quickly and efficiently, the individuals who worked for Yellow Doors we always very polite and friendly when visiting the property. Our property was great value for money, and decorated nicely. Also I appreciated their understanding nature when it came to paying rent, knowing that a lot of us had to wait for our student loans before paying, they worked payments around this. I found previous landlords with other companies pushy and not understanding about this subject. We were also allowed a lot of freedom when furnishing our flat, they allowed us to: hang mirrors, put posters up and hammer nails in (with their permission first). They are a company that doesn’t really disturb you as long as you respect your housing contract. Overall a lovely company and I’m sad I’m not a student anymore otherwise I would definitely be renting with them again.

"I am so glad I rented with Yellow Doors! If we ever had any problems, they were just a phone call away and usually came out within a couple of hours or the next day! The house me and my friends rented was fab for us as we all normally curled up on the sofas to watch a bit of tv on the huge flat screen that was included! I would definitely rent with them again if I ever came back!"

Over the past year, Yellow Door Lets have been excellent to us as tenants. Whenever there was an issue they did everything they could to rectify the problem or to accommodate us in the meantime whilst long term solutions were being pursued. All the staff encountered were extremely helpful and made the process of acquiring student housing as easy as possible.

"I’m a student at Lancaster University and have been using Yellow Door Lets for the past 3 years. The house I rented was an amazing four storey property in a great location and at an affordable price. All furniture and appliances were a high quality and if there was ever a problem with the property it would be sorted the same day. The Yellow Door Lets staff were easily contactable, friendly and always provided a superb service. I will definitely use this company in the future and would recommend it to any student in Lancaster.”"

"Living with yellow doors was such a great experience, the houses are lovely and constantly being updated, the letting process was quick and easy, but by far my favourite thing about yellow doors is how responsive they are! If we had any problems with the house we could let the staff know with a quick email, and within a few days the issue would be resolved. After hearing horror stories of lazy landlords I was so amazed and relieved at how quickly yellow doors work and how eager they are to help tenants in any way they can! I highly recommend letting with yellow doors, you won’t get better houses and better service anywhere in Lancaster!"

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my year living in a Yellow Door Lets house last year. The service me and my flatmates experienced was extremely good; any issues we had were always responded to quickly, with them often being resolved the same day! We also had improvements being made to the house throughout the year such as a renovation of the kitchen over the Christmas break. Yellow Door Lets also offered the opportunity for tenants to earn money throughout the year such as part time employment vacancies. I would definitely recommend Yellow Door Lets to any students looking to find accommodation within Lancaster."

Yellow door on a whole always made sure our need were met. Wayne and his staff always seem friendly from sending us the contract allowing us time to review and send it to parent it before hand, to coming out and replacing damaged or broken stuff even on weekends! Yellow door made sure if anything was reported they would see to it that day meaning you didn’t have to worry about the situation getting worse.

"Moving off campus can be a daunting experience however, Yellow Doors Lets made it less so with their friendly and helpful staff. The house tours I have received from them have been really useful and allowed me to get a proper sense of the houses I’ve ended up living in. After a year of living in one of their properties, I decided to rent another for my final year due to their efficiency with dealing with any issues, big or small, we had in the house. I also appreciated our landlord coming around sometimes just to see how things were going with everything, giving me the sense that my flatmates and I rented from people who actually cared about us and the quality of our living."

I stayed with yellow door lets for 2 years and they’re a great student housing company and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Any issues with the house were dealt with extremely quick and their staff are very friendly. A number of things did break during our time in the house, however they were quickly replaced/fixed so this wasn’t really an issue. We had a number of house viewings during our stay but were given a gift by yellow doors for the inconvenience. Thanks for being a great student housing company, there aren’t many of them out there.

"Yellow Doors has been a great agency to rent a student house with, the house I lived in during 4th year was comfortable and suited all of my needs. The company is very good when it comes to responding to feedback and issues that tenants may have. In my experience, the company always responded promptly and would try to fix any issues in the house as soon as they could. For example; at the start of the year, me and my fellow tenants were having issues with our internet and Yellow Doors provided us with a new router which worked perfectly from then on."

"Yellow Doors made our first experience of renting a house, something which can often be a rather daunting task, very easy and very comfortable. Any issues we found within the house (the fire alarms were faulty for a while) were repaired, often within 24 hours of the issue being filed. Not only this, but the people working with Yellow Doors were approachable, responsive and generally nice people to talk to and seemed willing to help. Myself, and my flatmates, were very happy with our house and will definitely remember it as a highlight of the University experience."

Yellow Door Lets have been fantastic this year. I haven’t heard of any other company that responds to maintenance requests as quickly and efficiently as they have. One highlight in particular was how our rent due date was just a few days shy of student loans coming in, and after being made aware of this, were very flexible in receiving the rent that term. We also decided as a flat to extend our rent for an extra week, due to term time end dates not matching up and they were very helpful and accommodating throughout that process. Cleaning of the rooms prior to moving in was fantastic and the communication around the moving in/out stage was very prompt and useful. One of our flatmates sadly had to leave university due to illness only 2 weeks prior to moving in. Yellow Door Lets really helped us with finding a replacement flatmate, but also allowed us choice on who we chose to live with. We had really reasonable rent considering we all had ensuites, mini fridges, a microwave and a cleaner in each room! Only negative I had was not knowing when or if the deposit was going to be returned. But we all received the full amount back in a check in mid July. Thanks!

"I have had absolutely no complaints over the two periods in which I lived in a yellow doors’ house, as any issues we had were resolved very speedily. We initially had an issue with the ethernet in one of our rooms, however this was resolved within 2 days. In addition, rent payment dates were generously flexible around our student loans, which made a massive difference for us in a very stressful period. Overall I would wholeheartedly recommend Yellow Doors to prospective student tenants, as my experience with Yellow Door houses in my 2nd and 4th years at Lancaster University was far better than with university accommodation and another local student housing company. Thank you to Wayne and Gordon for treating us fairly and with respect throughout our tenancy."

Yellow Door Lets really made renting a student property easy this last year with fast responses and good communication. Any minor issues were resolved the next day, for example the microwave had a small amount of rust inside and was replaced immediately at no further cost to us. I found it extremely helpful having termly rent reminders in the form of a letter to my family home and Yellow Door’s acceptance and flexibility that on occasions I had to wait until my loan could come in before paying rent. Even their occasional visits to check the property was accompanied by an email a couple of days previously, which helped with organising who should stay in the house and what to expect. Overall, thank you for such an easy year with accommodation!"

I thoroughly enjoyed living in my student house last year as from the start of my lease to it’s finish, the yellow doors team made the upmost effort to make our living experience easy and hassle free. Any problems or faults during the year were fixed within 24 hours and all bills were included in the price ultimately making the whole living experience so much easier. I would like to extend a thank you to the team for providing an excellent service last year and I will definitely be considering Yellow Doors to rent a house when I return 4th year.

"My experience with Yellow Door Lets as a whole has been pretty great. From the onset during house viewings, the variety of accomodation offered in convenient locations and good prices, was the reason I and my flatmates opted for them as our student housing company. I have renewed my contract with yellow doors for the 2019-20 academic year because I genuinely like the company. Meeting the owner Wayne and those working in the office made communicating with Yellow Doors a lot easier as everyone was really helpful and all round friendly. Pretty much every time we had an issue in the house, we simply emailed Yellow Doors and they had fixed it for us asap. (Another massive thing) i like about Yellow Doors, is that they offer paid work for their tenants. It was really easy, helping out in the office, handing out leaflets and the best one by far, showing potential new tenants housing. I would highly recommend Yellow Doors, I have mates with other companies who have complained a fair bit, and Ik I’m hyping yellow doors up quite a bit, but they are pretty ace and the management team knows how to treat their tenants with respect, so I appreciate that."

We never had any serious issues, and whenever we were inconvenienced by, for example by redecoration, we were compensated with a crate of drinks. At the end of our rent we all received our full desposits back, with no unnecessary deductions or false claims. I would and have reccomend Yellow Doors to a friend"

Yellow Door Lets were a pleasure to have as landlords throughout my tenancy with 7 others. We lived in a beautiful property of theirs that is a modern renovation in a Grade II listed building. Yellow door lets are very attentive to any faults (we only had one major one in the whole year, due to circumstances beyond their control). The maintenance team is discreet and leave no trace of being in the property. The rent is super reasonable and they overdeliver on the service they give you as tenants. Thank you Yellow door lets for being such friendly landlords!

"Yellow Door Lets were a really great letting agent to rent with. The flat was great value, especially as we got the summer for half price and being able to rent it for a whole year was great as it meant I had somewhere to stay in Lancaster in the summer for when I visited. Whenever there was an issue, such as the boiler breaking, yellow door let’s would send somebody round to take a look immediately and get it fixed. The flat itself was great and in a really good condition when we all arrived. Overall I would really recommend yellow door lets in Lancaster!!"

"Yellow Door Lets have been great landlords throughout my time in Lancaster, so much so that we stayed with them for two consecutive years in different houses. Yellow Door were always very quick to come and check out any problems that we had before swiftly getting them fixed. Moving into town from the campus bubble can be quite an apprehensive moment, especially when you hear horror stories from older students regarding rogue landlords, however Yellow Door have consistently proven that great, and more importantly, reliable, student landlords do exist! It really made a difference having friendly people to contact. I have recommended Yellow Door to all my friends at Lancaster in younger years, and will continue to do so, and are still yet to hear a bad word about them! Thank you so much for making my second and third year so enjoyable! Thanks again for looking after us,"

The temperature both in winter and spring were always perfect and the walls of the house always allowed the temperature to be stable. The kitchen was quite small but it did the job and the small area outside was great. The lounge is amazing. There is a lot of space with a massive TV to watch films and play games. Moreover, I want to highlight the professional service given by the staff of yellow doors in replying to emails and always being very available. Thank you!! I had a great time!"

I’m sad to have moved out of a Yellow Doors property as it was without a doubt the best place I could have spent my final 2 years in Lancaster. On a final note, I think it shows how good Yellow Doors is that 2 of my housemates have carried on renting with Yellow Door Lets for a third year. I couldn’t have asked for more,"

Whenever anything went wrong with the internet or something got broken you promptly fixed it and were very patient with the rent which was a relief to those like me who got theirs later than most.

And also thank you for your quick response to broken/issue in the studio, our shower was done the next day and when we ask if we could put some shelves up (which we were willing to buy ourselves), you sent someone round to measure up the wall and have them fitted that week with no charge to us."

"I have let with Yellow Door Lets for two years in two different properties. The first was a stunning 6 bedroom house, situated in a quiet area of the city, near Ashton Memorial. The house had excellent furnishings and had been maintained well, despite the property being fairly old. Anything that required repair during our tenancy was rare, but when it did, a repairman was there within 24 hours, every time. The second property was a studio near the train station. This new-build was brilliant quality and, again, excellently furnished. The area was close to town but no noise, even with the train station being so close. Being in a studio meant we had our own kitchen and bathroom, this was brilliant as a couple as we didn’t have anyone else to worry about. Overall, Yellow Door Lets have been outstanding. Their customer service, care of their properties, and great value for money is why I let with them for the second year."

"I loved living with yellow door let’s due to any errors with the house would be rectified as soon as possible. When we signed the lease we got told that one bathroom would become two and we were sceptical as to whether this would be finished in time. Not only was it finished but finished to a high standard that meant my year in the flat wash much smoother running with 6 in the flat!"

"Yellow Doors have been great landlords for my final year at Lancaster. They have always been quick to respond to any emails and queries in a friendly way. If anything was wrong they would send somebody round within a couple of days. The houses always have plenty of space and are modern. One improvement I would suggest is that nearing the end of the year when you were showing people round, only one person would be emailed and they might not always be able to get in touch with the rest of the house. Overall I really liked living at 8 Dumbarton Road"

"Thank you for everything you’ve done for us over the past 2 years, it’s been great living with you! Absolutely cannot fault the service I’ve received from Yellow Door Lets in my 2 years living with them! They responded to every question/query/problem with an answer or resolution within a day, without fail. For example, they’ve fitted a TV port in my bedroom for me, re-tiled our bathroom in order to fit an additional shower, replaced our tumble dryer as soon as it became faulty, and refunded our TV licence money – amongst other things. The staff are always as friendly and helpful as possible – Wayne even came to the house late on a Sunday evening when we had a water leak and remedied the problem immediately. As for the rooms, they are generally spacious with large beds and all the furniture you’ll need (desk, wardrobe, drawers, curtains etc) and if you don’t like any of the furniture, they’ve been more than willing to come and remove/swap anything as required. I would fully recommend living with Yellow Door Lets!"

"Renting with yellow doors for 2 years through uni is highly recommended. If you have any problems they are always free to help. When we first moved in we didn’t have the wifi and tv promised on the contract, however we rang up and we where provided with the right tv and broadband package swiftly. People come and fix any problems on the same day you notify of the problem, which is really efficient. Unless you contact yellow doors yourself, you are never bothered by them unless it is necessary. 2 years with yellow doors was a good choice and I don’t have any issues with them, they where very nice and friendly to deal with."

"On the whole, Yellow Doors was the best tenancy agreement I have ever had, if we had a problem, we would call a member of the YD team and they would be round within the next 3 days. The state of the house, when we found it was tidy and rather pleasant, they were happy to accommodate us, by moving different beds around and fixing light bulbs and what not. I liked living with Yellow Doors and look forward to living with them again in the future."

"I thought I would write a testimonial after living with yellow doors for 2 years in 2 different houses. I’ve heard many horror stories of landlords but was lucky enough to choose YDL as my own for second year at uni, and am so glad I made this decision as YDL are generous, helpful, friendly and very fair for students. If there were ever any issues in my house, a simple email to YDL and the issue would be sorted within a few days, or even the same day if it was urgent. In addition, the company are extremely friendly and helpful even when there are issues with housemates they do their best to resolve situations to ensure our satisfaction. Unlike many landlords, they were very fair with our deposit by it only being £150 and do not try to charge ridiculous amounts for ‘damages’ that many other landlords do. I could not recommend YDL enough, having lived with them for 2 years my houses were well kept and looked after and the company go above and beyond to maintain the satisfaction of its tenants. Thanks YDL!"

"I would just like to let you know how impressed I was with you as a company and your professionalism in general. I did not encounter a single problem this year which could not be solved by yourselves quickly and conveniently, something which I feel may be a rarity with Landlords/ladies nowadays. Staff were very professional and friendly all year round. I could not recommend Yellow Door Lets enough!"

"I can honestly say that living with Yellow Door Lets has been amazing! Every concern that has been discovered was corrected pretty much the next day without fail. The landlords are extremely helpful and have been so consistently throughout the year. After reading negative discoveries online about other student letting agencies, I can without a doubt say that this does not apply to Yellow Doors. I personally look forward to spending my final year with you and, if it was anything like this year, it will be fab. Keep up the excellent work!"

"My house with Yellow Door Lets was a great place to live. The landlords were always quick to fix any issues and were easy to get hold of so I had peace of mind that we’d never have any problems. The house felt secure and modern – at 4 Westbourne Road the giant basement living room with big TV was a particular asset. Renting with Yellow Doors was very simple from start to finish – they are always available, helpful and friendly. Thanks guys!"

"I stayed in one of your houses for one year. I was very happy and satisfied with the house and especially with your service. You are a bit more expensive in comparison to the other companies but it’s definitely worth paying it because of the nice houses and the good service. Thanks for the nice time :)"

"I really enjoyed staying in a yellow door lets property last year. They are kept in great condition with improvements made throughout the year. The response rate for issues was fantastic with problems being either fixed or responded to often within a day or even on the same day as they were raised. I would recommend Yellow Door Lets to any student wanting to live in Lancaster."

"I have nothing but positives to say about Yellow Doors as a company. I lived in their houses for 2 years and they were brilliant. Any requests we had were always responded to and solved quickly. Both houses I stayed in were very well maintained, any staff we dealt with, both the main Yellow Doors guys and their contracted employees were always polite and friendly. Would thoroughly recommend them as landlords and their houses as places to live. The large TVs are also a big plus!"

"The thing that stands out most when looking back over my experiences with Yellow Door Lets is how friendly and helpful they are. If we ever had a problem they were only ever a phone call or email away and the issue was resolved promptly and easily. The houses I have stayed in have been perfect student homes for me and my friends and it’s always sad to leave at the end of the tenancy. I would recommend Yellow Door Lets to anyone!"

"Last year i found Yellow Door Lets to be a surprisingly helpful and trustworthy company , after hearing all the bad things landlords have done to students across the country. YDL was very accommodating, allowing me to construct something quite large in the basement without hassling me on whether i would do any damage to the house in the process. Whenever any problem, big or small, arose, it was quick to be dealt with. YDL was also very unintrusive, with no surprise house checks and a general sense of trust from the landlord."

"It was very easy to rent with yellow door lets. When we were looking for a house they drove us from the 2 houses we were looking at which was really nice. The contract got sorted quickly and was fair. The washing machine broke a couple of times, and we smelled gas once and all these occasions they had an engineer out to us to fix the problem within 24 hours of us emailing them which was really impressive. The only complaint is that we were promised by the landlord that we would have new beds, desks and carpets, but this was not put in the contract so yellow door knew nothing about it so a week before we were due to move in nothing had been done. But as soon as I found the advert for the new furniture they got everything done really quickly so it was ready for when we moved in."

"After three years of living in houses rented from Yellow Door Lets I have nothing but positive things to say; in comparison to a year in university halls, the rent was noticeably more affordable and the quality of their accommodation was incredibly high. The company communicated well with us at every stage as Gordon talked us through the contract before signing on; we received plenty of warning and privacy regarding visits for safety checks/repairs, and towards the end of each year we were given advice regarding cleaning which resulted in our deposits being returned in full. Any issues with the houses were fully dealt with swiftly whether they were minor things such as lighting, or larger things such as boiler problems; the electricians, decorators, etc the company sent out were friendly, trustworthy, and did fantastic and thorough work. Our group shrunk following the first year, resulting in us looking for a smaller house. We viewed options through a variety of landlords, however none compared in quality or value; in contrast, our viewings with Yellow Door were arranged together for the same afternoon which suited our group perfectly, and Colin very kindly drove us to each house before taking us to the office where we signed on for two more years. Yellow Door Lets have been absolutely fantastic landlords, and a far cry from the horror stories I have heard from other students! They have a brilliant team, and I would recommend their houses 100% to any prospective tenants."

"I would definitely recommend Yellow Door Lets to any student! The staff are well organised, fair and efficient! The houses are all of an extremely high standard – however – if we ever had any issues they were often rectified within 24 hours. In one instance they sent a maintenance team to our house just 1 hour after an issue was reported – on a sunday! Yellow Door Lets go the extra mile to provide an excellent services to their tenants!"

"When I first moved into one of Yellow Door Lets’ properties the tennant who had previously lived in the bedroom I was in had smoked in there and as a consequence it smelt considerably. I emailed them about this matter and they promptly rectified this problem by re-carpeting and re-painting walls. Throughout the year whenever we had problems with showers, windows, boilers etc. once emailed and notified, someone would be around within a few days. Overall my experience with Yellow Door Lets was good and if I hadn’t moved back onto campus I would have considered living with Yellow Door Lets again."

"As a student from further afield relocating to Lancaster and figuring out which companies to rent with could have been quite a daunting process and perhaps even problematic, particularly when you hear second and third years horror stories about landlords. Recommended to me by previous tenants I couldn’t praise Yellow Door Lets anymore! The quality of service is exceptional, meaning my housemates and I have stayed on Dale Street happily for two years. Any queries or problems that may arise are quickly and efficiently resolved within the day. The examples are vast, but one issue that arose was problems with springs coming through the mattresses, Yellow Doors appeared with brand new mattresses the following day, keen to make living here as comfortable as possible. Also, whenever staff are due to come into the property to inspect fire alarms or something similar, we are always given plenty of warning and know to expect them in the house. We all found this very considerate and respectful, and it avoided problems such as not being ready for a visit. Ultimately if you are looking to rent in Lancaster, you should definitely look into Yellow Door’s broad range of properties. Service is incredibly friendly and the staff are always happy to help, it has been a pleasure to spend two years here!"
