PJ Properties

PJ Properties is a family-run student lettings specialist that has been operating in Sheffield since 1983, assisting students in finding suitable accommodation. The firm was established as the first dedicated student letting specialist to open an office in Broomhill, providing student accommodation in Sheffield. Over more than three decades, the company has supported thousands of students in securing comfortable, practical, and affordable houses and flats. Its long-standing presence and experience in the Sheffield student housing market have led to recommendations from both Sheffield University and Sheffield Council.

The company maintains a substantial portfolio of student properties, encompassing over 180 residences available for rent. These properties range from ten-bedroom houses situated near university campuses to city centre apartments, offering a variety of options to accommodate different group sizes and preferences. PJ Properties offers accommodation across various Sheffield locations, including Broomhall, Broomhill, City Centre, Crookes, Crookesmoor, Ecclesall Road, Hunters Bar, Netherthorpe, Norfolk Park, and Walkley. The firm focuses on ensuring that all properties are kept clean and well-maintained to meet the needs of contemporary students.

For its tenants, PJ Properties provides a comprehensive service designed to streamline the rental experience. The company offers a dedicated viewing service, where prospective tenants can arrange to be driven to properties or meet at the location directly. The firm also prioritises property maintenance, ensuring that any necessary repairs, such as appliance or boiler breakdowns, are addressed quickly and efficiently to minimise disruption. Furthermore, PJ Properties has established an exclusive partnership with UniHomes to offer an all-inclusive utility package, allowing each tenant to pay their individual share of utility bills via Direct Debit, thereby simplifying bill management among housemates.

Beyond its tenant services, PJ Properties extends its expertise to landlords, offering a full management service for their properties. This service includes the collection and remittance of rent received from tenants. The firm also provides advice and pursues actions related to rent arrears, ensuring that landlords receive consistent support in managing their investments. 5% and 15% of the total rent collected, with the specific percentage determined by various criteria, including the number of properties a landlord entrusts to the company's management.

While PJ Properties primarily focuses on student lettings, the firm also operates PJ Residential Investments Limited, which functions as a property consultancy. This entity specialises in broader property services, including property purchase, rents, and repairs. The main office for PJ Properties is located in the centre of Broomhill and is fully staffed, operating on weekdays from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, with extended hours until 5:00 pm in November and December. During peak periods, the office extends its hours and opens on weekends to provide accessible service to its clients.
