Here at letslivhere we’re celebrating a record year, with a raft of new landlords signing up, some lovely new student and professional properties on our lists, a healthy rate of renewals from tenants who sign up with us year after year, and several new staff appointments.
Our new recruits join an established team of property lettings experts, all dedicated to providing the very best in professional service to landlords and tenants.
Our website now takes the highest number of hits in the North East lettings market.
Just a few months into 2010, this year looks even more exciting - watch this space for new developments!
Our recent survey among the student tenant market shows that, unsurprisingly, most students rate rent firmly above room size when it comes to choosing their new home.
Second on their list of priorities is the area. Heaton, with its huge choice of properties, community spirit, good transport links and the famous Chillingham Road - where you can buy just about anything - remains the top area of choice for the student market. The leafy suburb of Jesmond comes a close second, thanks to a wide range of Victorian townhouses, flats and apartments for rent, and an excellent choice of bars, shops and places to eat.
The survey also revealed that word of mouth and recommendations from friends continue to be the driving factor behind our constantly growing numbers of student tenants. We couldn’t be more pleased with that - happy tenants are the best possible form of advertising!
The response to our ‘Design a T-shirt’ competition was brilliant, and we had a huge number of entries from talented design students, all keen to show us how they could really bring our brand to life.
The judges had a very difficult task choosing from the many imaginative and creative pieces of work that were submitted. We knew the North East was bursting with awesomely imaginative fledgling designers, and the entries that came in confirmed Northumbria University as a hotbed of fresh and exciting creative talent.
The judges are about to chose the design that they feel really sums up the letslivehere brand values. Track us on Twitter or Facebook to see who will be seeing their design in production this year!
letslivehere are delighted to announce a competition exclusively for Northumbria design students to come up with a new T-shirt design for the company. This is a fantastic opportunity for aspiring students to create a design to bring letslivehere to the forefront of the North East lettings market. letslivehere is an ambitious company due to expand in the near future. The project will stand out on your portfolio as a measure of your talent; those without creative DNA need not apply! The final design should be sent to peter@letslivehere.co.uk as a PowerPoint presentation explaining your motives behind the design and also a separate attachment on a template of a T-Shirt. We would also appreciate physical examples although we understand you are students and this costs money so is not essential!
The design must appeal to both the student and professional market and be cutting edge, building upon the strong, bold brand image of the existing company logo. The font for the existing logo is Calibri (Body) and the colour scheme must adhere to the two shades of green in the “letslivehere.co.uk” company logo. The design must contain the company telephone number, logo and website address; we are looking for modern, fresh ideas, moving away from the traditional old and stale image of the estate agent. The T-Shirt must also be practical as it is to be worn by staff and used in future promotions. The winner will also attend an award photoshoot to celebrate individual achievement. We look forward to seeing what you can do! Good Luck!!
Closing Date: 16th November
