Parrhouses is owned and managed by Dominic Parr and is the trading name for Trevor Parr Associates Ltd. All the Nottingham & Loughborough houses are owned by members of the Parr family and the business was started in 1983. From the beginning we saw a niche in providing good value student houses where tenants could expect a warm comfortable house with good service in a market which mostly consisted at the time of damp and cold lodgings, miles away from university. We only ever buy properties in the most central locations with generous room sizes.
A Personal Service
Providing excellent customer service has always been central to our business. We understand what a big step it is signing on to your first house and how scary the financial implications can seem and we will help you make sense of it. We also appreciate that you deserve to be treated with respect and efficiency having entrusted and paid us with the job of providing a home for you. We aim to be very flexible in the way we deal with you. If there is something within reason that you think would make your lives better and improve the house we are often happy to help.
Skilled Team
We have a core team of 5 who take care of the day-to-day management of the business but with selected contractors who we have worked with for many years, this swells to over 40 to take care of the huge amount of remedial work or renovations required every summer to keep our properties in top condition.
Energy Efficient
Our houses are all thoroughly insulated and double glazed with modern boilers which make them very cheap to heat in the winter and we have EPC’s (Energy Performance Certificates) as required by law on each property. We also supply and fit energy saving lightbulbs as standard and give you up to date advice on how to cut down on energy use to save you money.
Tested for Safety
All our houses have the relevant gas and electrical safety checks as well as having HMO licences for bigger houses.
Deposits paid back
Our tenants appreciate what we do for them and leave the house in a good state at the end of the year – we pay back the vast majority of damage deposits at the end of the tenancy without deduction. Your deposits will be insured via Tenancy Deposit Solutions, a government backed company.
Talk to our tenants when you view a house – their opinions are the best research you can do.
If you are a student looking for a house then visit us before committing to a house with another landlord – you will not be disappointed.
