Symon Donovan Properties Ltd

Symon Donovan Properties Ltd (SDP Ltd) was founded in 1991. Symon, a former Sheffield City College student believed he could improve the quality of accommodation for Sheffield students and embarked on doing so.

Symon has continued to deliver ‘Superior Student Housing’ to Sheffield Hallam Students for over 15 years. He has closely worked alongside Sheffield Hallam University in a partnership agreement, primarily for first year students. SDP Ltd is a longstanding member of the ‘Sheffield and District Landlords Association’ (SADLA) and we are active members of the 'Sheffield Student's Landlord Association (SSLA).

SDP Ltd (Jon MacKenzie - Property Manager) has successfully completed the 'Landlords for Excellence Programme' at Sheffield Hallam University.

SDP Ltd is dedicated to ensuring that all their student tenants experience the best possible student housing in Sheffield for the location, price and superior quality of furnishings, appliances, customer service and customer satisfaction.

SDP Ltd has continued to work alongside our student tenants to ensure their needs are met. Such communication has led to the Installation of Wireless Broadband in all SD Properties since 2004.

SDP Ltd have a Local Office on Abbeydale Road and a professional team to help with any difficulties. They are available either face to face by email or telephone.

All our properties are owned and managed by SDP Ltd, our properties range from 4 bedroom terraced houses to Halls of Residence.

We operate a 24hr Emergency Call Out Service with a property manager on hand to deal with any issues. The properties are professionally cleaned and decorated on an annual basis and gardens are maintained throughout the year.

At SDP Ltd we are fully aware of the difficulties which students come across over the academic year, trying to budget for themselves by juggling rent, gas, electric, water, TV licence, broadband package etc.

Therefore, SDP Ltd has come up with a rental package that is unique to the private housing sector

Gold Rental Package SDP Ltd pays all utility bills, TV licence and broadband.

Silver Rental Package tenants are responsible for all their own bills.

This allows accurate and complete budgeting for the complete academic year.

We conform to all necessary standards

• All property licenses under "2004 Housing Act" have been applied for
• Corgi gas certificates are renewed annually on all gas appliances
• NICEIC electrical certificate is renewed every 5 years
• All fire safety standards are met according to the Law

Symon Donovan's policy from day one has always been “would I let my family live in this property” if the answer is ‘yes’, we know SDP Ltd have got it right!
