Castle Properties started life in 1994 with its first property. The business was originally started by letting rooms in the owners own house to help pay the mortgage and bills. Mr Clark a lorry driver and then spouse Miss Niblett a Shoe Shop Manager. With very little money they worked hard and saved.
They soon came to realise how much they enjoyed the company of tenants, and extended the house to create additional rooms. They remember many good times, with firework parties, movie nights, bbq's etc, even holidays abroad with tenants, on more than one occasion. They are now God parents to children of previous tenants and Mr Clark was even best man at the wedding of another previous tenant, Miss Niblett a Bridesmaid to another. Many happy and funny occasions are warmly remembered, some unable to print. (The people involved know what I mean!!!!!!!).
In the summer of 1999 the owners decided to buy further property as a retirement plan. As they had owned their house for 5 years the value had risen and they remortgaged. This led them to buy 4 additional properties. One of the properties they ran as another shared house, and was the house next door to their own. They then caught the bug. Seeing the potential of the shared housing market, they concentrated in this area.
In April 2004, the company got to such a size, that they decided to change the structure to a limited company, and at the end of 2004 they owned 17 buildings with some 150 tenants. They had also by this time purchased The Central Hotel in Cheltenham and set about refurbishing it.
We continued to increase the size of our portfolio, with further shared accommodation.
This is why today, for tenants, because we own ALL of our properties we can be more flexible in length and type of tenancy. Also location can be changed from property to property.
We also have the facilities to help you move by way of transport, making the move as painless as possible.
Starting from just one property in the Cheltenham area, we have built a portfolio to cope with an increasing demand for good quality, reasonably priced accommodation.
