Letting agency loc8me has expanded into Lincoln with a new office and four new staff roles.
The student letting firm, supported by a new five-person team, will aim to cater to the approximately 15,000 students currently attending Lincoln’s main universities, the University of Lincoln and Bishop Grosseteste University.
Other loc8me locations include Loughborough, Nottingham, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Durham, Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leicester, Hull, Bath and Bristol.
For the office’s opening day, the team launched a ‘Spin the Wheel’ competition in which students had the chance to win 10% off their rent.
Raffaele Russo, founder of loc8me, commented: “We’re excited to be a part of the student experience in Lincoln, bringing our great service and choice of properties to this lively university city.
“We believe finding a student home should enjoyable and stress-free for everyone, which is why we kicked things off with a day of fun and competitions to welcome our new tenants.”
He continued: “Opening the door in Lincoln isn’t just about expanding the business, it’s about being a part of a thriving community, and giving tenants quality and choice during a crucial time in their lives.”
Lincoln is the newest of 14 locations to be served by loc8me in university towns across the UK, with premises in Bristol, Cardiff and Bath opening earlier this year.
With over 2,500 properties and almost 7,000 students to look after, other loc8me locations include Loughborough, Nottingham, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Durham, Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leicester, Hull, Bath and Bristol.
Since 2020, loc8me has implemented a range of measures to ensure that regulations and guidelines are met, including the establishment of a nationwide compliance team.
Raffaele added: “As we’ve grown as a business, we’ve listened, learned and evolved based on our tenants’ needs and our obligations.
“At loc8me, we strive to work with landlords and local stakeholders to ensure every property we offer exceeds safety and quality standards.
“Our new offices in Lincoln are testament to that commitment, and we will continue to work to provide students with homes they love and feel secure in.”
