We're Scott and Rob. Two Manchester graduates with two student houses in Headingley. We're not an agency. We're the landlords — and we remember what a good house does for a year.

Our story
We both went to Manchester. We know the difference between a house that is just somewhere to sleep, and a house that becomes the year — the kitchen table, the people, the feeling that someone actually cares about the place.
Hestia is a small buy-to-let in Headingley: two student houses, looked after by the two of us. We are deliberately small. That means you get landlords who know the property, reply themselves, and want the house to be a good one to live in.
If you are looking for a faceless portfolio with a hundred keys on a ring, this is not that. If you want a friendly student house and people you can put a face to — that is us.
Scott & Rob
We own the houses together and we look after them together. If you live with us, you will know who you are renting from.

Manchester Uni graduate. The other half. Equally invested in the house being a home, not just a tenancy.
The houses
Two houses, both in Headingley. Come and see them — a listing never tells you as much as walking through the door.
House one — front
Kitchen / living
A bedroom

A social student house in the heart of Headingley. Photos and room details to follow.

Our second house — same idea: a proper place to live with people who care about it.
Headingley
Shops, cafés, bars and the famous Otley Run — Headingley is one of the most social student areas in the country.
Handy for Leeds Beckett's Headingley campus and a straightforward bus or bike into the University of Leeds.
Parks, the stadium, Hyde Park around the corner, and a house that is part of a street — not a block of corridors.
How we look after you
No call centre, no letting agent in the middle. If something is wrong, you message Scott or Rob.
We were students in Manchester. We know the difference a social, well-looked-after house makes to a year.
A good student house is one where the heating works, the wifi holds, and you are not chasing anyone for a week.
Two houses. That is the point. We can actually know the people living in them.
The practical bit
You rent from us. We manage the houses ourselves.
HMO licensing, gas, electrics and deposit protection — we will list the exact schemes here once confirmed.
If you are a parent looking this up: you can talk to us. We would have wanted that too.
Scott and Rob. We own the houses and we manage them. There is no agency layer.
Availability changes with the academic year. Get in touch and we will tell you honestly where things stand.
Yes. We would rather you see the house and meet us than book from a listing.
We will spell out furniture, wifi, bills and anything else house by house. Nothing buried in the small print.
You message us. That is the whole idea of being small landlords rather than a portfolio with a ticket system.
Please do. A lot of people looking at this page will be helping someone choose a house. We are happy to talk it through.
Say hello
Email or call. We will come back to you ourselves — not a switchboard.
