loc8me Durham

loc8me is a specialist student accommodation provider operating across the United Kingdom, established in 2008 by founder Raffaele Russo. The company's origins trace back to Russo's Loughborough University bedroom, where he began letting and managing properties. Since its inception, loc8me has expanded significantly, growing from a single office in Loughborough to a presence in 19 major university cities across the UK, including Durham, Nottingham, Manchester, and Leeds. The firm is driven by a team of professionals dedicated to delivering student accommodation experiences. The company offers a comprehensive range of private student housing options, catering to diverse needs, from one-bedroom flats to shared co-living spaces and larger properties, including 15-bedroom mansions. loc8me currently manages over 2,500 properties and serves over 8,000 students in happy homes. Following a recent acquisition of Liverpool-based Luxury Student Homes, the company's portfolio now manages close to 10,000 bedrooms nationwide. The Durham office, located at 202 Ashby Road, Loughborough, LE11 3AD, manages over four properties in the city. loc8me positions itself as more than a typical student lettings agent, aiming to provide an environment where students can create lifelong memories. The company emphasizes a student-led and student-catered community, offering exclusive perks through partnerships with local businesses. The firm's core values, which guide its operations, include embracing innovation, striving for exceptional service, and consistently doing the right thing. This approach extends to providing prompt maintenance responses, clear tenancy guidance, and centrally located student homes. For landlords, loc8me acts as a specialist HMO and student accommodation provider, managing properties and guiding owners through complex regulations. The company offers various services, from tenant-find solutions to full property management, ensuring properties are compliant with ever-changing rental laws. The firm handles aspects such as effective property marketing, tenant viewings, rent collection, and maintenance and emergency repairs through a network of trusted contractors. This comprehensive support aims to maximise rental income for landlords while minimising the administrative burden. The company also provides dedicated support for international students, with over 15,000 of its residents coming from overseas. This experience has allowed loc8me to develop an understanding of the specific requirements of international students, offering assistance with accommodation, contracts, and navigating new cities. All properties managed by loc8me, including those added through recent acquisitions, operate under the company's "Seal of Approval" framework, which establishes standards for safety, presentation, and property quality across its national portfolio.
