About us

A family landlord in Leeds. Over 60 years.

Spencer Properties is a family business. We only ever let properties we own, so we can always make sure they’re quality homes. The office is on Headingley Lane. The same family still runs it.

We own every property

If it’s on this website, we own it. That means we look after the spec, the repairs and the people who live there.

In-house repairs

Report a problem in My Spencer. Our own maintenance team, not a contractor lottery.

Unipol Golden members

We follow the Unipol Code of standards for student housing in Leeds.

Deposits protected

Every deposit is registered with the TDS.

24/7 emergency call-out

Gas, flood, no heat, insecure door. Same number, day or night.

No admin fees

Students pay no admin fees. We dropped them years ago with Leeds University Union.

Cumberland Court

18 Headingley Lane

The Spencer family are still in the business. Our office is on Headingley Lane, not in another city. We’re proud sponsors of Leeds University Union and members of the Leeds Rental Standard.

Homes from mansion houses to one-bed flats, for students, professionals and families. The constant is: if it’s on this website, we own it.
