Mr and Mrs Bennett are the most down to earth, soft hearted people you will ever meet. With a passion for what they do, and a dedication to the students in their care, no problem is too small to get their attention. When i was looking for this years student house, i was somewhat of a nightmare tenant in the way that my group size kept changing. Mr and Mrs Bennett must have shown me around every property they manage. Throughout this, they remained, professional, helpful and patient. We met with so many different student housing companies, one of which sent a young man, in a flashy suit and a huge, brand new 4 by 4. My immediate thought was "well i know where my money is going now don't i?". You only have to meet the Bennetts, see the houses, and their response time (when/if you have a problem), to know where your hard earned money goes... Right back into your accommodation. When you meet Mr and Mrs Bennett you will be welcomed in a humble way, by two real people. I love that they are married, they have such a normal, married persona about them that warms any room.

If you are looking for student accommodation, here is where you stop looking. I am beyond impressed.

Thank you Mr and Mrs Bennett

"To whom it may concern,

REF: Mr & Mrs K & AB Bennett, Stirling Student Properties

As tenants of the above mentioned for 2 years, we find them to be good landlords, for the following reasons: quick response time to problems and incidents, friendly nature, approachable, trustworthy, flexible and well natured landlords.

We would have no issue with recommending them to any potential student tenants looking for reliable and affordable student accommodation. Furthermore we have recommended our landlords for the past two years to potential student tenants moving into our previous addresses."

Hello,

Thank you for your services, I would recommend anybody in Bristol to hire accommodation with SSP.

Sincerely,

Mr Rob Strick, Holland

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance and constant attention to the needs of the house whilst we, the tenants, have been in residence for the past year. I have been very impressed and grateful for your speed of response in particular to installing broadband internet routing facilities at your own expense into each bedroom and the efforts you made to purchase and supply a brand new vacuum cleaner and microwave oven less than 24 hours after the old ones had broken down without any questions being asked; not to mention the new boiler fitted in the bathroom after the old one suddenly went into voluntary retirement!

We have all appreciated your friendly and courteous manner and I hope that you can use this letter as a personal recommendation to new tenants."

Mr J Layland 30 June 2004

"James and I can't thank you enough for all you have done for us. You have made the daunting move away to uni so much more welcoming by providing us support, never being too busy for a chat and even negotiating a bargain for our car (with Mr B's natural gentle persuasion) - well beyond the call of duty but very much appreciated.

We wish you the best of luck for the future of S.S.P. & all the happiness for the 2 of you."

Mr J Lovell & Ms V Griffin, Oxfordshire

"I have been with the landlords Mr and Mrs Bennett for the whole four years of my university degree, and my partner for three years, after spending his first year in halls. I have wanted to stay with the Bennetts as I have been looked after very well. I believe that students could not wish for more reasonable landlords, given that for many it is the first experience of renting after having lived with parents.

After having spoken to fellow students I can say that I have had the best experience, in my four years I have lived in 3 properties either owned or managed by Mr & Mrs Bennett, and when anything has gone wrong, they have been there as soon as they could after the telephone call had ended. This has not however been very often as the quality of the accommodation provided has been very clean and in good repair.

They operate a fair system of rent payments, generally coinciding with student loan payments so that students can pay off their rent termly and where loan payments are late, they allow 14 days before a reasonable administration charge is applied.

Mr and Mrs Bennett are both friendly and fair. They have done their best to help out at any opportunity and respect those who respect them and their property. They have never been too busy to find out how I am doing, and I have seen some of the busiest periods. I have tried to be a fair and respectful tenant and in return, they have provided the same as landlords. Even my Mum is grateful to them, she is a single parent and I moved away from home and she is thankful to them for making the experience so friendly and trouble free.

It has been a pleasure to stay in Mr and Mrs Bennett's properties and I am sad to be leaving them. I recommend them to all students studying in Bristol and consider them almost as family. I think they may have made a rod for their own backs however as I may be seeking their advice on property for many years to come!"

Ms P Sykes, Port Talbot

"We, the tenants of 49 Cromwell Road, have been in residence at this property for 8 months and are writing this of our own accord.

We find the Bennetts to be fair and pleasant landlords who, while expecting high standards of their tenants, will go out of their way to be of assistance when needed.

The house is spacious & well equipped and we have found no problems with it or any other aspect of their service."

K. Newbould, G. Meadows

"Thank you very much for looking after me for one year. I could live nicely with my flat mates through your help.

Thank you."

Sayaka, Japan

"I am writing to you in response to a request from Mr Bennett to inform you of the job he has been doing as landlord of this property. I am one of the six students currently living in 129 North Rd and I can inform you that he has been [doing] an excellent job since we moved here in September 1999.

We inherited the property in excellent condition and any minor maintenance that has been done has been completed quickly with minimum inconvenience and at a high quality.

The routine inspections of the property have also helped us to keep the house in a tidy state. I have no problem in speaking for [the] rest of the tenants when I say that Mr Bennett has done an excellent job as landlord and look forward to the remaining time at the house."

Mr J. Wootten, North Rd Bristol 14 February 2000

"We, the six tenants, have been in residence at [86 Hampton Rd] for between 8 and 32 months. The fact that some residents have remained in the house for almost three years demonstrates it is a well looked after, well located house.

The Hardacres and the Bennetts have proved most reasonable landlords, carrying out almost all repairs etc. within days of them being reported, and they have continued to make improvements throughout the house. Thus the house is in as good, if not better, condition than it was when we first took up residence. The regular "house checks", although usually unnecessary, do keep us aware of how tidy/untidy the house should be."

Mr E Reed, Hampton Rd Bristol 15 February 2000

"Thank you for your help over the last two years"
