28 Langdale Road has really felt like home for the past year and David has been such a great landlord! He’s always quick to respond to issues and the house is decorated in a homely way that’s hard to find with student houses. We would highly recommend David as a landlord to any students looking for accommodation. - Meg, Jess, Katie, Drew, and Daniel
I spent 2 years at 41 Lidderdale. We loved staying there and the house felt like a home. David is a great landlord! Always sorted any problems out straight away and replied whenever we contacted him. He always gave us time to pay rent and contacted us when we would want to pay, giving us the opportunity to wait for student loans to come in. Would definitely reccommend to anyone who wants to live in a student house which feels like a home from home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at 57 Ferndale Road. The effort David had previously spent decorating throughout was a wonderful asset to the house, making the house feel much homely rather than a typical white student house. David would be happy to come and fix any problem with house, big or small and we were never asked to pay any charges for simple fixes.
The way David takes payment for rent is simple and sorted at the beginning of the year by post-dated cheques. He would never pay in a cheque without texting us individually first to check we had enough money/student loan had come in. This was very handy if student loans were late etc.
Overall, I would definitely recommend David as a landlord and would do anything to live my year at 57 Ferndale all over again!

David was the most wonderful landlord. We originally found out about him from our friends who had been with him the year before in another house and they couldn't praise him enough and I must say he lived up to expectations!
Having gone through an estate agent that supposedly catered to students the year before I couldn’t believe the difference in having a private landlord and now would never go back. He decorated the house over summer and made it so homely which when you are missing home makes such a difference. All of our friends were so jealous of our house because it was so nicely done and wasn’t the usual grimy 'student' house. If we ever had a problem David would sort it as soon as he could and always checked in on us to make sure we were happy and everything is going well. Even the little things like him learning all of our names on the first day made such a difference - rather than being a faceless cheque to an estate agent.
The house was in the perfect location and I couldn’t have loved it more - we were all very sad to leave 57 Ferndale that’s for sure!

David really was the perfect landlord for my first student house. He was friendly and helpful, and I really couldn't give you a single complaint. The house contributed to some treasured memories I'll have for the rest of my life.
Unlike many student houses, it was homely, well looked after and is in the perfect location for all your student needs. I was truly sad to leave at the end of last year.

Living in 57 Ferndale Road has by far been my best experience of student housing throughout my 4 years in Liverpool! David is an extremely reliable landlord who throughout the year did his utmost to ensure our comfort in the house! The house was to a very high standard with lovely decoration and fully refurbished bathrooms and is a perfect location only 10 minutes from university campus! I would thoroughly recommend this house to all!

When you are used to the comfort of halls the horror stories about student housing and landlords are terrifying but David alleviated all of my fears. I lived in 41 Lidderdale for my second year at university and everything was perfect- the house was clean when we moved in, it had brilliant facilities and felt like ‘home’ immediately.
The house had a brand new bathroom, a lovely sized kitchen and many quirks that made it feel special. Any issues that we had David would try to solve them the same day and always responded to our queries quickly. Having a nice landlord who really cares about you definitely makes the transition from halls to house much easier and helps to make student life less stressful.
The only reason we chose to move to a different house for our final year was that we were living with fewer people. My housemates and I were very sad to leave the house (and such a wonderful landlord) behind, I would highly recommend this property.

41 Lidderdale Road was a brilliant house to live in for my second year. The house is close to Tesco, Asda, the Brookhouse and bus stops and also is incredibly homey and comfortable. The recently fitted bathrooms and kitchen made such a difference from halls. Any issue we had was sorted immediately by David, he provided great help and advice on bills and it is obvious that he takes pride and care in his houses and tenants. Without a doubt i would recommend 41 Lidderdale Road for any students and if it wasn't for the people i lived with changing i would have definitely stayed. Amazing house and Landlord.

David has been the best student landlord! :-) for the year we spent in 57 Ferndale Road, David made sure we had everything we needed to make our house at home. He was always available to help and has been very accommodating as well as being a lovely person. I would thoroughly recommend him as a landlord.

David was a fantastic landlord to have while we lived in the house last year. The house itself was in great condition and so homely! All the rooms were good sizes and the living area was especially well decorated and cosy. I actually had the smallest of the rooms and still had no problem at all and had enough room for all my things. The bathrooms were newly renovated when we moved in and they are the nicest I'm yet to experience in any student house. David was always so helpful and catered to all our needs and is by far the best landlord I've had in my four years in Liverpool; if it hadn't been for circumstance we would never have moved from such a great house and landlord!
Hope you're well and get someone for the house!

David was a brilliant landlord to have, when something needed fixing he was straight round to sort it out and even when our washing machine broke, he made sure we had a temporary one until he had chance to buy a new one.
The house we lived in was not the normal student house you get; it was so much more homely and well kept! He had made some really useful alterations to the house, such as a large drying rack for clothes that pulled up to the ceiling in the hallway. We had none of the nightmare stories to tell about agencies not picking up the phone or ignoring you and not putting you in touch with the landlord; we had the benefit of talking to David, the landlord himself, directly. And even better still his houses were far cheaper to rent than the ones from rubbish housing agencies!
I cannot recommend him and his houses enough!

David restored my faith in student landlords, having previously had bad experiences with the larger student letting companies in Liverpool. Very friendly, responded to any issues promptly and efficiently and gives the impression that he actually cares about the house and the tenants. Would absolutely recommend David and 57 Ferndale Road.
Miles Wilson
David is the best landlord I've had! He also has good chat!
If there are any problems with the house, just give him a text and he'll be round the next day to fix it. He's really flexible and puts a lot of effort into his houses.
Before we moved in, he had the kitchen done up. Later on in the year, he added a lovely new back door. And just before we left, he got rid of the wasted space under the stairs and fitted a new toilet and sink.
He's always renovating his houses so they are very modern. He's just an all round top bloke and it's your loss if you don't choose one of his houses!
As long as you leave the house in the same condition as it was as you moved in, you get your deposit back which we all did.

I was a tenant in one of David's properties for my third year of uni (57 Ferndale Road) and you couldn't really ask for more from a landlord.
The property was really nicely maintained and equipped the whole time we lived there and David would come round and fix any issues whenever we needed him.
Renting a property as a student can be a bit of a gamble as landlord's can really mess you about but we really landed on our feet with David. A really genuine, reasonable, and nice bloke and you'd be lucky to rent from him.

Before moving into 41 last year I was a little nervous as it was my first house since halls. However before long I realised that it was just like halls only a lot more comfortable! The rooms are set out in a good way allowing easy socialising and no one is off on their own in a corner of the house. The location to Tesco and Asda is good and the location of the Brookhouse is ideal. I’m sure the next tenants will enjoy it as much as I know my housemates and I did.

Thank you so much to David for being such a good landlord for the past 2 years. He made lots of improvements to the house whilst we were there and was super quick to sort out any problems that arose, replacing both our oven and washing machine whilst we were there. Could not recommend enough!
Thanks David! We stayed at Ferndale Road for 2 years and all loved living at the house. David was such a fantastic landlord, always helped with any house issues and quick fixes! Would highly recommend for an amazing house and tenancy!

David has been a great Landlord over the 12 months we lived at Ferndale Road. He made signing for our first student house so simple, and always answered any questions we had. Whilst we were living in the house, he was always quick to fix any problems, even if they were non urgent. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and we all wish we could continue to stay in one of his houses for the rest of our time at uni!”
