Oh! Happy Days Ltd. is a privately owned company that strives to lead the market in owning and renting out quality homes to the discerning university student. After we identify and purchase a suitable property, it is carefully redesigned and remodelled specifically with students needs in mind. Although each of the houses will differ slightly from the others, one guiding principle remains constant throughout; to provide comfortable and practical accommodation of the highest standard whilst offering outstanding value for money. The bedroom is the core of the plan. Walls are repositioned to create bedrooms of equal or nearly equal size wherever possible. Fitted office and bedroom furniture is installed to create quiet areas for study and sleep. All beds are quality orthopaedic divans and you can rest comfortable with the thought that we have a positive policy of replacement of beds every few years.
The bedrooms in most of our houses have washbasins in them and all have T.V. sockets. All houses have internet broadband facilities installed with a wireless connection so you can connect up to the internet whether you chose to sit in your bedroom, the lounge, or even the garden. Our latest two houses are even hard-wired as well as having wireless connections for the very fastest internet connection speeds.
Before you move in, the house will have been cleaned from top to bottom. The entire house valeted and returned to pristine condition. Carpets are wet washed, upholstery cleaned and any repairs to the contents or the fabric of the building taken care of. During the course of your time at the house we will be only a phone call away and are generally available at short notice to see to any matters of maintenance. And, although we try and make the gardens as easy as possible to look after there will inevitably be some care and attention needed. We give tenants the option of looking after the garden area or asking us to come and maintain it.
Naturally, all houses are double glazed and centrally heated, all have cavity wall insulation, the lofts are fully insulated and all have thermostatically controlled radiators in the bedrooms which in most houses are individually timed. This allows you to have a nice warm room waiting for you when you wake up in the morning, or get in from university in the evening without having the cost of heating the whole house. Most of our houses are heated by electric; we have night storage radiators in the communal areas and as these come to be replaced, we are fitting the latest generation of economic, controllable models with daytime boost. For the first time this year new legislation has required all landlords to have their houses checked by an Energy performance Inspector who then provides Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s) to indicate to prospective tenants just how energy efficient that particular property is. We are delighted to state that we have achieved exceptionally high ratings throughout all of our houses. Certificates are available for inspection by any prospective tenant.
All plumbing and wiring is replaced for new when we convert the houses, so not only do our houses look good, they ‘perform’ as well, with plenty of electrical sockets where they are needed, and water and heat being delivered on demand to where it is wanted.
We take your safety and security very seriously. With this in mind we have joined, and been active participants in the local council’s accreditation scheme. This is a joint venture between Bath and North East Somerset Council (BANES) and private landlords. The scheme is the council’s seal of approval for properties in the private rented sector that are considered safe to live in, are well managed and exceed the minimum standards laid down by legislation. Properties that meet these criteria are awarded either a ‘one star’, a ‘two star’, or a ‘three star’ certificate to acknowledge this achievement. The ‘three star’ award is granted to landlords who have, amongst other measures, installed security and safety equipment proscribed by the council, in their properties. We are proud to say that we are the first company in Bath to have been awarded the three stars rating in every single one of our houses.
More recently, the council also awarded us a special certificate for each of our houses in acknowledgement of the fact that we are Landlords of Property of Exceptional Quality, providing houses for rent that exceed the standards set by their accreditation scheme
All of our properties are as safe as we can make them. They have been equipped with burglar alarms, mains powered interlinked smoke alarms, heat alarms, fire extinguishers and fire blankets. In addition, high security locks are fitted on external doors giving protection from the outside whilst providing quick release mechanisms on the inside in case of fire.
The highest quality student house currently available in the City.
