Putting tenants' first is a clear winning strategy from Sugarhouse Properties and adding their wellness app only justifies their popularity amongst students.
Sugarhouse Properties have offering their tenants health and wellbeing support with the help of a new app.
Moving into your first house share or rented flat can be a stressful time.
You're not only trying to navigate Leeds' bus system and cook more than a Pot Noodle for dinner, but balancing working, living, studying and socialising into those short 24 hours of the day is hard.
Of course, there are limitless factors that can affect wellbeing, but regardless of whether you are struggling short-term or have a long-term mental health condition, the student letting agency, Sugarhouse Properties want to make the transition as easy as possible and support your wellbeing along the way.
Focusing on their tenant wellness, Sugarhouse have just launched a new app that is devised to offer physical and mental health support.
Other exciting features include tips on integrating with the local community and a foolproof first-timers guide to the city.
Director of Sugarhouse Properties, Richard Napier, is extremely excited about the new development.
“Young people are, quite rightly, much more discerning these days and expect higher standards of accommodation and extra support and services in their homes.
Not only do we offer properties that have all the mod cons, and are clean and comfortable, but we also offer lifestyle and wellbeing support to tenants through the Sugar Hive App, and try and include all bills in the rental price so there are no hidden costs or headaches".
Sugarhouse properties recently partnered with Headingley-based bars Manahatta and Box to offer freshers a free drink to welcome them to the city.
Organising social events for Leeds newbies so students instantly feel at home is all part of their letting experience and Sugarhouse hope that this allows students and graduates to learn about their newfound surroundings and realise Leeds' potential.

“Leeds is such a vibrant city with so much to offer students and young professionals alike.
We want all of our tenants to love Leeds as much as we do, so we’re doing everything we can to connect them with great landlords who care, as well as helping them find their feet and learn all of the great things the city, and surrounding areas, have to offer".
"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
