Here are some comments from past and prospective Springboard Urban tenants:

Having moved out of Springboard for a short while I ended up moving back, which speaks volumes! It's a
great set-up for graduates, particularly those coming to London for the first time; a ready-made social life if
you want it, luxuries such as the gym, cinema and high-spec kitchens that you certainly don't get in a
normal private let, and perhaps most importantly it's completely hassle-free - perfect for the time in your life
when you really want to be concentrating on your career and social life.

Rob has frequently been a lifesaver - whenever anything does go wrong you know that it will be sorted out
quickly and with minimal fuss, and the security of the building and its great location meant that I always felt
very safe - invaluable in itself. In short, I cannot recommend Springboard highly enough and am very glad I
made the decision to live there (twice!)

I hope that Springboard goes from strength to strength, I very much look forward to watching it grow into new locations, and can testify that it certainly made the big jump from university to working life in London very easy, and a lot of fun.

Thanks for everything during my time at Springboard. I would like to say that Springboard has been a fantastic experience for me and it certainly made the transition to London easier. I hope it carries on to be a great success in the future.

I immediately thought that Springboard was a cracker idea.

The offer sounds too good to be true. I am a lawyer wanting to move to London but accommodation seems to be my first and only major concern.
Lawyer, Male

I am just so jealous that this fantastic scheme wasn't up and running when I moved to London!
Director of Graduate Recruitment

...even if I have to live somewhere else until the West Hampstead site is completed. I want to be a tenant there as soon as possible because it is in a very good location close to my future place of work and also the facilities sound excellent.
Graduate, Male

... the property looks fantastic. This place would be ideal.
Graduate, Male

I had a wonderful time. You have an amazing place, and the people in there are fantastic. I was new and alone when I first moved here, and I really feel that I definitely made the right choice by living here.
Female, Finance

Best thing is meeting and living with friendly people of similar age range, and building a good social network.
DS, Doctor

I decided to rent with you because of the design, layout, rent and age of other tenants. I really appreciated coming back to a house full of friendly faces. I thoroughly enjoyed the Springboard Experience!
RL, Fashion Industry

Enough space to be social if you want, or have your own space when you need it.

Spacious and relaxed atmosphere

My favourite aspects of renting here is that it is newly decorated and furnished to a high standard and also sharing with other professionals.

Finding the Springboard Urban website couldn't have come at a better time, what a fantastic idea- perfect for people in my position moving to the city!
Ms E D (Min of Defence)

I love the whole idea of Springboard, I can't believe no one else thought of it!!
Charity worker

The idea of moving to another city is daunting as I know only 2 friends in the city (and a handful of co-workers in our London office) and the fact that Springboard Urban community is made up of people in similar situations is fantastic.
Matthew

I have enjoyed living here and i’ve made some great new friends. It has been an excellent spring-board into London for me!
Mr P I, Finance

Hi Rob,
I kind of have settled down by now and must say I really enjoy staying at Springboard. It is value for money accommodation and the location is perfect. I will definitely turn up at one of the upcoming events to get to know some of the Springboard people.

Medical Consultant

I can't believe you guys exist! I've been doing work placements in London for the past 2 years as part of my uni co-op program and have had troubles finding places to live.
B Stokes

I wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed my time in the house and it has been a great place for me to get settled into my job and life in London
PR Graduate

And thanks so much for everything Springboard related - I had a brilliant time staying in Fulham, and hope to be back in February if you have room for me!B
BBC Graduate

I really liked the rooms I viewed (especially the one with the mezzanine layout!). I was especially attracted to the "community spirit" and the social aspect as I feel that I would meet lots of people in similar situations as myself.
Law Graduate

I heard about Springboard through a tenant who lives in West Hampstead – she give me a quick tour and wow I was really impressed. The communal facilities are great!
Architect

On another note, I would just like to extend a thanks for being a good landlord during my tenure at Springboard - much appreciated.
Standard & Poor's Graduate

Thanks for that, I must say you're pretty quick about getting things fixed in the house... it's a refreshing change from where I lived before. Thanks for all your hard work :)

Design Graduate

It’s been great at Chez Springy. I hope you’ll continue to keep us posted on house outings…consider us Chez Springy Alumni!
Xerox Graduate

Playing devil's advocate (and without this being an endorsement of any particular
company's services), it could be that this type of service fills an exact gap in the
market, judging by posts made on this subject by young workers who feel they have
good budgets for accommodation but can only find scruffy flatshares with Rigby type
landlords.
Young professionals may not want to take on the expense and responsibility
associated with a long contract for a self-contained property themselves and want
high quality accommodation with a responsive management service. Not all tenants
are going to be bargain hunters fixated on finding sub market rents. So if they know
the benefits of not paying peanuts.

I know one person who lives in Fulham at Springboard, and like me she came to
London with no friends, but now has plenty!
Sainsbury's Graduate

I want to say a huge thank you for being such a great landlord! This has been the first
time I have moved out other than uni halls and you have definately made it so much
easier! Thank you!!! I have had a fab time for the year and a bit I have been here and
will miss it lots!
Grant Thornton Graduate

Thank you!! I really enoyed my time at Springboard, it was totally hassle free.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Graduate

After a fantastic 3.5 years at Springboard Urban, I have now decided to move out of
the building. I also wanted to thank you for all your help and assistance during my stay
here. My compliments to the maintenance staff at SU (Nick and the team) who have
contributed to a virtually painfree experience for me. I will continue to recommend
tenants as I have in the past.
PWC Graduate

Many thanks for a brilliant 3 years at Springboard. It has unquestionably been the best
place I've ever lived and I have many great memories.
Government Legal Service Graduate

Its been a really good experience over the past four and half years that I have stayed
at Springboard.
