Filling 100% of properties every year since launch

Southampton based student letting agency, City Estates have provided accommodation to over 4,000 students in the city and pride themselves on giving students 'homes' not 'houses'.

"We have worked with Rubber Duckers for the best part of 6 years now and the whole team stand out for their work and efforts to keep us happy as customers. Chris has a fantastic creative mind and constantly generates new ideas and concepts, which keeps us staying dynamic. Ross always does a superb job at capturing content, with a very quick turn-around. We look forward to continue working with the team for many years to come."

The problem

Today’s students look online for their student accommodation and, as a local company, City Estates needed a way to showcase their properties in a way that competes with halls managed and marketed by national companies.

The solution

Rubber Duckers built a WordPress website with property listings, professional interior photography and testimonial videos.
