Loc8me Expands Nationwide Reach into Exeter

One of the UK’s fastest-growing student lettings agencies, Loc8me, has expanded its operations in Exeter, further strengthening its presence in one of the South West’s key university cities.

The expansion marks another significant milestone for loc8me, with the Exeter region being managed from its existing Bristol office, adding to more than 2,500 managed properties and houses for over 8,000 students across its growing UK portfolio.

The expansion reflects loc8me’s continued response to rising demand for high-quality, professionally managed student accommodation in high-demand university cities.

The move is expected to create a number of new roles in lettings, property management, and compliance, increasing capacity in the Exeter student housing market.

Exeter is home to over 30,000 students at the University of Exeter, where demand for well-managed, modern student accommodation remains strong.

Raffaele Russo, founder of loc8me, said:

Exeter has a thriving student community and a real appetite for choice and quality. This is a city where students expect more from their homes, and expanding into Exeter allows us to deliver exactly that.

He continued:

As demand for high-quality student homes continues to rise, we’re committed to raising standards and providing properties that students genuinely love to live in.

Loc8me will provide its full property management services to the region remotely from Bristol, including tenant support, maintenance, and a 24/7 service. Standards will be upheld through its recently launched Seal of Approval programme, designed to ensure consistency, safety, and quality across all properties.

Earlier this year, loc8me facilitated more than 7,500 student moves across its portfolio following soaring rental demand.

Its latest data also shows more than 40,000 students now interact with the brand each year through its growing digital platform and property network.
