TESTIMONIALS
What some of our past and current tenants think about Surrey Student Homes and our services.
Tom
Beech Grove 23/24
We thought the whole process of arranging the house was really efficient and on moving in day the house was spotless which made us feel really comfortable to be in there . All parties involved were really kind providing us with multiple services and advice regarding the house throughout the whole year. Whenever we had a problem, it would be sorted really quickly and we appreciated the communication that we had from yourself and your team about inspections and house visits etc. Overall, we had a really nice time staying in this house. We couldn't have asked for a better second year home!

We rented one of Gurpreet’s properties during our second year at Uni and chose to extended our lease for third year due to how positive our experience was. From day one, Gurpreet has been a friendly and accommodating landlord. Any issues we've had with the property were resolved quickly, and he consistently goes above and beyond to make sure that the house is well-maintained. I highly recommend Gurpreet and the fantastic team at Surrey student homes to anyone looking for a hassle-free, comfortable place to rent.

Gurpreet and Surrey Student Homes have made our first time renting as students seamless. The property is maintained to a high standard inside and out, with items of furniture being updated and both of the bathrooms being renovated within our first year of tenancy. Any queries/ concerns have been resolved promptly; Gurpreet is friendly and approachable, and always easy to contact.

Gurpreet has been a great landlord over the last 2 years at Ashenden Road. The property was handed over in immaculate condition at the start of the tenancy and any maintenance issues encountered were dealt with rapidly. I would definitely recommend Surrey Student Homes to any students looking for a hassle free place to rent!

I had the pleasure of renting from Gurpreet who truly impressed me with his promptness in handling repairs and his excellent communication. From the moment I moved in, he was quick to address any maintenance issues, ensuring we all had a comfortable living experience. Their responsiveness was unparalleled, and I never had to wait long for a resolution. Moreover, Gurpreet's communication skills were top-notch. He was approachable, friendly, and always available to address any questions or concerns I had.
Luis
Manor Rd 22/23
Residing at the lovely 88 Manor Road was an absolute delight, thanks to the spacious bedrooms that provided ample comfort, the expansive patio that served as a perfect oasis, and the well-equipped kitchen that made meal preparation a breeze. The icing on the cake was the sensational location, offering the best of both worlds with its proximity to Guildford town centre and close proximity to Surrey uni.
What made the experience even better was our exceptional landlord, Gurpreet, whose warmth and kindness added an extra touch of happiness to our time there, creating cherished memories that will forever be treasured.

Gurpreet is an exceptionally friendly landlord, who works efficiently to ensure needs are met. Any promised work on the house was delivered quickly and to a high standard. For my first time living in a shared house and renting, the process was made extremely easy.
Annie
Beckingham Road 21/22
Gurpreet is a great landlord, very helpful, friendly and works very hard to ensure any problems are rectified as quick as possible. The house was in great condition when we moved in and was excellent location for us all. There was parking which was great as some of us brought our cars and the entire team worked hard to provide a smooth experience for us while renting. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to use Surrey Student Homes again in the future.
Lizzie
Southway 21/22
Having rented in Guildford for 4 years, I've had the best experience with Gurpreet at Surrey student homes. A professional, friendly and efficient landlord who takes students seriously. Any issues were addressed efficiently and timely and communication was always very clear.
I'd highly recommend him as a landlord for his professionalism and commitment and only wish I'd rented with him sooner.
Shanan
Southway 21/22
Gurpreet is a very good landlord with an excellent team around him. Any maintenance issues have been dealt with in a timely manner and well and Gurpreet has been very understanding when things have gone wrong and is very friendly. It has overall been a good experience of living in the outside world and allowed us to be independent.
Haydn
Southway 21/22
Since moving into Southway we have been well looked after and always kept in the loop if anything was going on. The accommodation was very impressive for student housing, if there were any issues (e.g. screws loose, door handles etc.) we were quickly assured this will be repaired in quick time which it always was. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend to anyone interested!
Emily
Southway 21/22
We’ve loved our time in our final year house. We were promised several upgrades to the house when viewing it and all were delivered on by the time we moved in. Any of the few issues that did arise over the year were quickly handled by Gurpreet and the maintenance team who were quick to respond and provide advice. We are really grateful for the high quality and hassle-free service we received from Surrey Student Homes this past year and would recommend them to other students.
Thank you again for a great year!
Katie
Ashenden Road 21/22
I just wanted to say thank you for such a smooth check-in to Ashenden Road yesterday and for the house being in such good condition, clean and with some new furniture. It was a completely different experience to checking into our old house last year with a different lettings agency, so just wanted to say thank you, we really appreciate it and are looking forward to moving in properly in September.
Daniel
Southway 21/22
We have lived with Surrey Student Homes for just under a year and the house was in a great condition after previously being updated last year with a new kitchen, larger upstairs single bedroom and new mattresses. The house is situated in a lovely neighbourhood, with a short 15m walk to the university, local supermarket and round the corner to a few local shops. Neighbours were also very friendly who we had regular conversations with. We moved in and out of the house without any issues.
Jack

Thank you for everything over the last 4 years, I have really enjoyed living in your properties and the service you provide has been brilliant.
Florence
Hillview Crescent 21/22 & The Chase 20/21
The past two years we have used Surrey Student homes for our university accommodation and Gurpreet has always been a friendly and accommodating landlord. Our houses were maintained well and requests were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Gurpreet is always easy to contact and listens fairly to his tenants. We have built a good rapport with him over the past two years and would definitely recommend Surrey Student Homes to students living in Guildford.

We were all so impressed with Gurpreet, he is so patient. He guided us from the start to the end from our initial enquiry, he always made time to talk to me, and support whatever decision we made.
He is super knowledgeable and knows his business inside out, I have complete and utter confidence in him.
Gurpreet went though some very detailed conversations on how to go about renting student properties for second year students, and the types of area and houses we should be looking for.
He gave us some amazing advice on what we should do as we were first time student renters.
Gurpreet responded really quickly to us even though he is super busy and always made time to answer my questions.
We saw a few houses, and they were of a very high standard and he informed us which one he would be doing work over in the summer so advised us which ones to look perhaps consider.
He took his time to explain all the details about the houses, and to give us a guided tour even on a weekend as we were travelling down from Birmingham.
In essence, I would no doubt recommend Surrey Student Homes 100%! He is a very hard worker and is a credit to the industry!
Lauren
Southway 20/21
This was a great house in a great location. Any problems we had were sorted very quickly by Gurpreet and the maintenance team and dealt with in a professional manner. Gurpreet was happy to deal with any issues we had at the start of the tenancy, and was always readily available to deal with queries.
Georgia
The Chase 20/21
We’ve been living in one of Gurpreet’s student houses for a year, and have signed the contract for another one. Gurpreet is an extremely helpful landlord, who is always available to help with any issues. As well as the maintenance team who ensure any problems are fixed quickly. Since moving in we’ve had a new bathroom fitted, and the house repainted to keep it looking fresh and new, which is rare with student houses! Viewing the houses was also made super easy with Hayley arranging to take us to show us around a few she thought we’d be interested in. Our property is in a great location for the university, train station and the hospital (perfect for healthcare students). Our experience so far has been nothing but positive with Surrey Student Homes and nothing has ever been too much trouble.
James
Beckenham Road 20/21
When we arrived at our house it was in perfect condition. We were given all the relevant information whilst moving in and helped whenever needed by the landlord. The maintenance team were always prompt to us whenever need be.
James
Woodbridge Hill Gardens 20/21
A very helpful landlord that runs it like the business it is rather than a side-hustle like so many other student landlords. The house was immaculate when we arrived, any issues were dealt with quickly and professionally, and all the furniture is refreshed every few years rather than when it breaks. All in all a thoroughly positive experience, so much so that we have signed a contract for a second year!
Holly
Southway 20/21
Our house on Southway had an ideal location and was in excellent condition for a student property. We were lucky enough to have our kitchen replaced, which was extremely efficient and an added bonus! Gurpreet has been reliable, approachable and fair throughout our tenancy. I would definitely recommend Surrey Student Homes and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Jack
Ashenden Road, 18/19 & 19/20
We have lived with Surrey Student Homes for one year and are staying in the same house for a second, the house was in a brilliant condition when we moved in and any issues we have had during the year have been resolved without delay or hassle. Our house is in a brilliant location with adequate parking to meet our needs. Surrey Student Homes are extremely helpful and professional and I would highly recommend them.
Katie
Southway 17/18
Gurpreet has been a very approachable and friendly landlord to our student home of 5, and has ensured that our house was well-maintained throughout our tenancy. Any problems we had were fixed within a week (usually in two days), and his maintenance team were always efficient and respectful of our home. The house itself worked very well for our group, with a range of bedroom sizes and a large kitchen. Gurpreet also re-did our bathroom during our tenancy whilst we were on holiday, meaning we came home to a clean and modern bathroom by the time we returned, free of charge.
Tom
Southway 17/18
Efficient, approachable landlord, and a well-equipped home with good facilities. The few problems we had were solved quickly (usually same or next day) by Gurpreet's friendly maintenance crew. Our home was kept up to date, and Gurpreet was flexible to meet our individual needs as tenants. We even had a stylish, modern bathroom fitted during our tenancy!
Anna
Southway 17/18
We were pleased that Gurpreet renovated the bathroom for us over the Christmas break, it was great to come after the break to find it. Gurpreet was always available, contactable and fair. I thank him for this year.
Alexia
Southway 17/18
Our house in Southway was in the perfect location for uni and Mr Tulsi was the best landlord we’ve had over our five years. If anything went wrong, no matter how big or small, his maintenance team would be knocking on the door before we knew it! A very stress-free tenancy!
Matt
Beckingham Road 17/18
We wouldn’t hesitate to rent with Surrey Student Homes again, Gurpreet and Hayley are fantastic and ensure there aren’t any issues for tenants. Especially perfect for first time renting in Guildford!
Jamie
Manor Road 17/18
Mr Tulsi is an extremely professional and helpful landlord. I had some prior concerns about renting as a student, as you hear that students can be taken advantage of, however this was not the case. Mr Tulsi was fair, always contactable when needed and ensured the house was equipped with everything that was required by us as tenants. I would definitely recommend.
Robert
Southway 17/18
Gurpreet was always quick to deal with maintenance issues when contacted and had someone deal with any issues brought up. He was easily contactable through email and provided useful information during check-in and check-out, thanks for the year.
Lucy
Hillview Crescent 16/17 & 17/18
I lived in a Surrey Student Homes property in Hill View Crescent for 2 years. Gurpreet was quick to make sure any issues with maintenance were sorted out quickly and efficiently and his maintenance team were professional and reliable. The house was completely renovated before we moved in with brand new bathrooms and a kitchen of a high standard, making the house feel very much like a home and not just a student property. Gurpreet is friendly and approachable and helped us with any issues we had over the two years willingly. Unlike many of my friends who lived in other student properties I never had to worry about our house because I knew Gurpreet and his team would be on hand to help if we needed anything.
Harriet
Southway 15/16 & Woodbridge Hill Gardens 17/18
I just wanted to say, thank you for being a great landlord this past year and also two years ago at Southway. It’s really made the uni experience a lot better living in a lovely house!
Kiran

Gurpreet is an efficient landlord who is always willing to help sort out any issues which may arise. I have no problems in recommending him and infact will be using him for my final year.
Simon
The Oval 15/16
We were very lucky to have Gurpreet as our landlord. From the first viewing to the final check out, he was very organised, friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed living in the house itself; it was well looked after and any problems we had were addressed quickly and efficiently. Thank you again for an excellent year!
Harriet
Southway 15/16
Surrey Student homes is an excellent and incredibly trust worthy student housing service. We came to adore our home as it was nothing like the typical student homes we had seen before it. It was cosy, clean and well-presented. Gurpreet made our lives so easy, with a seamless transition from halls to student housing, ensuring that we were happy and comfortable at all times. He is a trustworthy and generous landlord and we feel very blessed to have been tenants of his. Thank you!
Ash
Southway, 2014-15
I rented a house on Southway from one of the best landlords in Guildford. He is well organised, easy to contact and shows genuine care for his tenants. Any problems encountered with the house, were dealt with very quickly and professionally. I would recommend Surrey Student Homes as a great letting experience.
Hollie
Southway 13/14 & 14/15
We decided to renew our contract with Mr Tulsi for a second year as he has been very accommodating and approachable, if we have had any issues he has resolved them in a timely, professional manner. We would strongly recommend him as a landlord.
Susanne (Parent)
Oval 14/15
My son was a transferring 2nd year Undergraduate to Surrey University, and was experiencing severe problems finding suitable accommodation and had to stay in expensive guest houses. Once I found Surrey Student Homes and Gurpreet Tulsi and I have never looked back. Gurpreet was very helpful and always kept to his word. Gurpreet was having a house completely refurbished. After looking at the property (which he let us look around whilst the construction work was being undertaken) we realised the house was in a great location. The property was ready on the date that Gurpreet promised and our son moved in. The property was of a high standard and the room was spacious. Unlike many landlords, who do not respond to phone calls or emails, Gurpreet has always responded promptly and efficiently, and is a totally approachable likeable person. I would thoroughly recommend him and Surrey Student Homes to any students or parents!
Katie
Beech Grove 13/14 & 15/16
Just want to say thank you for being a good landlord!! It's nice to know that you live in a house where the landlord is nice!!
Tom
Southway 13/14 & The Chase 14/15
The rooms provided are very well maintained, spacious, and are in exceptional locations for the rent. The landlord is quick and reliable to respond to all calls, texts and emails, for requests both urgent and otherwise. He is very understanding to the problems that can arise in house-shares with both students and professionals, and he is a reasonable and practical person when it comes to addressing problems of all kinds. The properties kept in a good state of repair throughout the tenancies, and problems that arise are addressed as needed in good time. I would therefore highly recommend Surrey Student Homes.
Bright
Canterbury Rd 13/14 & The Chase 14/15
Mr Tulsi as a landlord is efficient, professional and approachable at all times and I would have no hesitation in recommending Surrey Student Homes. I had a very good letting experience in my first year and chose Mr Tulsi to be my landlord for the second year.
Beth
Beckingham Road 2014-15
Having lived in one of the houses managed by Gurpreet for my second year, I can definitely recommend Surrey Student Homes to students who are looking for off-campus housing. Our house was well-maintained, good value for money, and in a great location near the university. Gurpreet is an excellent landlord - very friendly and approachable and with a good understanding of students! Any minor maintenance issues that happened over the course of the year were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Overall I've had a great letting experience and would not hesitate to rent from Gurpreet again.
Gareth
Southway 2014-2015
I stayed in a spacious 4 bedroom house located on Southway, which was very well connected to the University, Tesco, and the Sports Park. The landlord, Mr Tulsi, was very helpful and quick to respond to any issues we had throughout the year, however it was very uncommon to have any problems in the first place.
Phil
Beech Grove 13/14, 14/15 & 15/16
I've used Surrey Student Homes for the 3 years while I have been at Surrey University. The reason..... they offer the best value for money, great customer care, the staff are very professional and approachable. All issues were dealt with effectively and quickly. If id known they were this good I would have used them from day 1 (thats a whole 6 years). Highly recommend Surrey Student Homes.
Kevin
Southway 13/14 & Josephs Road 14/15
Very helpful landlord always responds to problems or issues immediately. The two houses I've lived in were in great condition and in super locations. I highly recommend getting accommodation with Surrey Student Homes.

Ashenden Road 12/13, Southway 13/14 & 15/16
“From my experience of having Mr Tulsi as a landlord is that the house is well maintained and if there are any problems that require attention they will do their best to solve it. They are also very friendly which makes it easy to build up a good relationship. This is why I have chosen Mr Tulsi to be my landlord for the 2nd consecutive year”

Friendly and trustworthy landlord who was always quick to respond to any problems.
Sasha
Southway 11/12 & The Oval 12/13.
One of the best landlords I have encountered in Guildford. Not only is there genuine care involved for the tenants, but understanding for certain sitautions as well. Any problems that were encountered with the house, for whatever reason, were dealt with in a timely manner and done to perfection! Would not recommend anyone else better to rent a property from!
Matt
Southway 11/12
I stayed in a house on Southway, it was a well equipped property in an optimum location near to Tesco and the Sports Park. If ever anything was required - maintenance/any additional furniture for the house this was brought round quickly and was always very pleasant dealing the landlord. Would recommend as an easy to deal with and generally very good letting experience!
