Wilcox & Partners was established over 15 years ago. |
 |
|
|
Two partners / brothers run the business. Paul and Alex Wilcox. Paul is the Operations Manager and previously ran the University Campus in Reading for Thames Valley Police. He understands about student life! |
|
|
|
Our business objective is to provide the best private quality residential student accommodation, whilst at a market competitive price. |
|
|
|
We do not believe that the stereotypical view of student accommodation has to be true. Student homes do not have to be cold, damp and dirty. |
|
|
|
We are fully subscribed members of the UK National Landlords Association |
|
|
|
We specialise in three to seven bedroom houses. Where a mandatory HMO license is required, all work has been completed, inspected and certified. |
|
|
|
All of our properties meet the Statutory Requirement for HMO's (Houses in Multiple Occupation), such as Gas Safety Certificates, emergency lighting and mains smoke detectors. |
|
|
|
"We do not charge fees" but believe that this should not be your marketing 'edge' as a business. Beware, NO FEE usually means low cost / low budget / low maintenance. That certainly does not apply to us and for that reason we do not lead with it. |
|
|
|
No leaflets with pictures of houses that the one you’re looking at looks nothing like! |
|
|
|
Our experience has taught us that getting the right accommodation whilst at University can have a very positive impact indeed on how a student approaches their course. Selecting the wrong accommodation can have the complete opposite effect - it can be extremely distracting and have very time consuming to deal with. |
|
|
|
We wish to let groups of responsible Tenants who, whilst wanting to succeed with their studies and enjoy themselves socially, are responsible and treat their home with care and respect. |
|
|
|
We expect our tenants to comply with the Tenancy Agreement and Terms & Conditions and we, as Landlords, will ensure that we completely fulfil our obligations. The objective must be to return a full deposit at the end of the tenancy period. |
|
|
|
We choose to let privately simply because we believe it allows us to provide the high level of service we seek to deliver, rather than leave it for a third party, such as an agent, to deal with on our behalf. |
|
|
|
We believe that cheap (ie) lowest rent, has a direct correlation with poor quality accommodation, poor management by the landlord and poor attention to standards such as hygiene, safety and maintenance. When it comes to student accommodation you definitely get what you pay for. |
|
|
|
Rooms are fully furnished with quality furniture, beds and appliances. |
|
|
|
All of our properties benefit from full UPVC double glazing throughout and central heating. |
|
|
|
We deall with and rectify any maintenance issues, with a dedicated maintenance team for you to call day or night,not just endless answerphones. We have and adhere to high standards of service. |
|
|
|
Full summer rents are payable on all of our properties. This is simply because it provides a return over and above our running costs to reinvest into the houses we own. We can therefore maintain the standards we set for now and in the future. |
|
|
|
At Wilcox & Partners, we live up to our promises not make them and then break them. |
|
|
