Richard Thornton
HMO Landlord, Hough Green, Chester
“I've had my 2-bed semi in Upton with PDA for five years. Not a single void longer than two weeks, rent paid on time every month, and maintenance handled without me lifting a finger. Exactly what full management should be.”

Louise M.
3-bed terrace, Blacon, Chester
“My 6-room HMO was unlicensed and I was facing a potential rent repayment order. PDA Letting sorted the fire safety works, submitted the licence application, and had all rooms re-let within 10 weeks. Absolute lifesavers.”

Paul K.
6-room HMO (student let), City Centre, Chester
“I wasn't sure if my Hoole conversion needed planning permission under Article 4. PDA Letting confirmed it didn't, handled the additional licensing, and had all four rooms let to professionals within six weeks. The gross yield hit 8.4%.”

Anita S.
4-bed HMO (professional let), Hoole, Chester
“Managing individual tenancy agreements across a 5-room HMO was a nightmare. PDA Letting took over the whole thing — separate ASTs, room-by-room rent collection, and inspections. I haven't had a void longer than a week since.”

“Switching agents mid-tenancy felt daunting but PDA Letting handled everything seamlessly. Our tenants didn't even notice the change. Having in-house solicitors saved us nearly £2,000 on a Section 21 alone.”

“The consolidated monthly reporting is a game-changer. I can see rent receipts, maintenance logs, and compliance expiry dates for all my properties in one place. I wish I'd switched sooner.”
