PBSA Letting & Asset Management Partner – Nottingham

PBSA Letting & Asset Management Partner – Nottingham

Tristram’s Property Services is a Nottingham-based letting and asset management agency specialising in Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA). We work with PBSA owners, operators, developers, institutional investors and asset managers who require a reliable local delivery partner with strong lettings performance, compliance-led operations and deep market insight.

In 2025, Tristram’s agreed lettings representing approximately 5% of the Nottingham rental market. This scale provides PBSA clients with confidence that leasing strategy, pricing and absorption rates are driven by real demand and live market data — not theory.

Who We Work With

• PBSA owners and operators
• Institutional investors and funds
• Developers delivering new PBSA schemes
• Asset managers requiring a local Nottingham operating partner
• Corporate landlords with large student-focused portfolios

PBSA Leasing, Marketing & Pre-Let Campaigns

We provide structured PBSA leasing and marketing strategies designed to achieve strong early occupancy and minimise voids. Our approach includes:

• Annual leasing strategy and intake planning
• Full pre-let and renewal campaigns from October onwards
• Market-linked pricing reviewed regularly
• Professional photography, floorplans and virtual tours
• Multi-channel marketing to drive consistent enquiry levels
• Mid-cycle and late-season lettings where required

Our focus is simple: fill beds early and keep occupancy high.

Occupancy, Renewals & Performance

PBSA performance depends on proactive management throughout the academic cycle. We run structured renewal campaigns, manage re-lets well in advance and monitor demand weekly to ensure units remain competitively priced.

This hands-on approach helps reduce void periods, stabilise income and improve long-term asset performance.

Student Experience & Retention

A well-managed PBSA building retains tenants and protects reputation. We focus on delivering a positive student experience through:

• Smooth check-ins and coordinated move-in periods
• Fast maintenance response times
• Clear communication throughout the tenancy
• Support with student welfare and tenancy queries

Happy tenants lead to stronger retention, better reviews and improved occupancy year-on-year.

Compliance, Risk & Governance

PBSA assets operate under increasing regulatory, safety and reputational scrutiny. Our compliance-led approach goes beyond minimum requirements and includes:

• Statutory safety certification oversight
• Fire safety coordination and risk assessments
• Inspection regimes and reporting
• Local authority liaison
• Proactive risk identification and mitigation

This reduces operational risk and protects both income and brand.
