Turner Property is a family run Property Lettings business based in Reading. Our aim is to provide good quality rental accommodation for students and professional sharers primarily in the University area of Reading. Our head office is located at Hillside House, Allcroft Road, Reading, RG1 5DJ – a grand Victorian residence built in 1880 for one of the members of the locally known Palmer family.
We are a property lettings business and not an estate agent as all our properties are owned by us. The majority of our properties are Victorian but have been completely reconfigured and refurbished to suit the needs of our tenants. We refurbish our properties to a high standard with particular attention to the local authority requirements. Fire safety is taken very seriously, and all of our properties have fire rated walls, ceilings, doors and a fully zoned fire panel where required. We install contemporary kitchens and bathrooms but also try to retain the original character of the houses.
We have a variety of houses and apartments ranging from studios to large 10 bedroom houses for students. Many of our houses are next to each other or nearby so we can cater for larger groups of students coming from halls who want
to live near each other. On the professional side, most of our houses have ensuite facilities with shared communal areas and include utility bills, internet and a weekly clean.
We have our own team for maintenance and can therefore respond to repairs in a timely manner. Out of hours we have an emergency telephone number direct to a member of our team. We like to treat our tenants as our valued customers and we are proud of our good reputation. We regularly have tenants who stay with us for some time often arriving as students and then seeking accommodation in a professional house after graduating. In fact, Hattie, who now works for Turner Property, did exactly this.
Why should you choose our professional accommodation over others?
