About Us

Rustminster Estates Ltd was established in 1988 and is now one of the largest privately owned letting agencies for student properties in Coventry. All properties are owned and maintained by us - we do not manage houses for other landlords. Rustminster Estates recognises the Coventry Accredited Property Scheme and the Warwick Accommodation Scheme, which ensure that all tenanted properties are maintained to a high standard.

The tenancy offered is an ASSURED SHORTHOLD TENANCY as defined in section 20 of the Housing Act (1988 amended 1996). It is written in plain English and is easy to read and understand.

The contract is for 12 months starting 1st July and finishing on 30th June the following year. No rent is charged for the months of July and August unless tenants wish to take up occupancy of the property during this time.

A bond is required from each tenant as security against any unfair damage caused to the property and it’s contents during the tenancy.

Tenants pay their own gas, electricity and telephone bills but there are NO CHARGES for the following:

• Arrangement Fees
• Summer Retainer
• Water Rates
• Broadband
• Routine Maintenance

Premier Houses
Several of our houses have recently been refurbished to a very high standard and include a washing machine. These houses are offered at an ALL INCLUSIVE PRICE (to include gas, electric and telephone charges) thus offering students an easy budget option.

We have a good reliable team of contractors to carry out maintenance work and pride ourselves that in 15 years we have never exceeded 24 hours to respond once a call has been received.

All properties have current CORGI gas safety certificates and ECA fire alarm certificates.

The houses are fully furnished having a fitted kitchen, which includes cooker, fridge freezer and plumbing to install a washing machine. Lounges have a settee or armchairs, enough for each tenant, and a dining table with chairs. All study bedrooms are furnished with a single bed, wardrobe, dressing table or chest of drawers, desk or work surface, chair and a bookcase or shelving. An ironing board and vacuum cleaner are also supplied along with normal cleaning utensils.

Heating systems are either gas fired radiator systems or electric storage heaters. All houses have security systems and floodlights to the rear. Broadband Internet access points are provided in every bedroom and are connected to a broadband supplier FREE OF CHARGE.

We are a professionally run company managed by a chartered accountant, chartered surveyor, solicitor and marketing director.
