Our story

From a stable career to a property with purpose

Andy spent fourteen years in a job he genuinely enjoyed, well thought of, and in conversation about a director role. Then the business was acquired by a corporate giant and change became inevitable. Several years of redundancies followed.

Looking for something he could control, and having always loved property, Andy took a property course.

The first deal took time, but with investor backing it eventually came together. Persistence and consistency did the rest, and Add A Level was born.

The name came from a friend, a personal trainer, forever telling people to "add a level" to their performance. Today it means exactly that: a higher level of property, in quality and in service.

What guides us

Our mission is simple, our values run deep

To provide good-quality, safe and affordable housing for students, delivered the right way, every time.

Ethical

We charge a fair price for good quality, never squeezing value out of the people who live in our homes.

Respectful

Comfortable, considered spaces, with proper communal areas, not just the minimum requirement.

Personable

Warm, approachable and human, the estate agents we work with say we're the nicest landlord to deal with.

Morally sound

Timely, straight answers to any question or query. We do what we say we'll do.

By the numbers

A small portfolio, run properly

We'd rather grow slowly and get it right than move fast and cut corners. Here's where things stand today.
