2 bedroom flat

The original idea for Watts & Co was born in 2009 around a very simple idea “Offer both tenants and landlords a letting agency that values customer service above all else and offers a customer experience not available with any other letting agency” The original business that preceded Watts & Co was founded by Sam Watterson who at the time was a part time landlord with a small portfolio of properties and couldn’t find a letting agent that offered a service that fulfilled his needs. His first buy to let property was self-let before even the agent he’d instructed had taken a set of photographs. 3 years and several properties later his realisation was that renting properties was not black and white and all the lettings professionals in Leeds were either tagged on the back off an estate agency, only dealt with one type of tenancy or were restricted to one geographical area. With a degree in Business IT from the then Leeds Metropolitan University, he also identified the increasing role the internet was having in lettings. With the wider use of high speed internet, Wi-Fi technology and the emergence of smart phones he knew there were opportunities to do things differently, be better and offer a more flexible service for landlord like him.
