Letting Agent in Plymouth
Property Management in Plymouth Built for Portfolio Landlords
Plymouth's rental market is shaped by three distinct tenant communities: naval personnel from HMNB Devonport, students from the University of Plymouth, and young professionals drawn to the city's waterfront regeneration. PRS Living understands each of them — and manages your portfolio with the local knowledge and national reach your properties deserve.
Understanding Plymouth's Rental Market
Plymouth's rental market is unlike any other in the South West. The city is home to HMNB Devonport, one of Western Europe's largest naval bases, which generates a steady stream of shorter-term tenants — servicemen and women on rotations who need well-managed, reliable accommodation and will not tolerate neglected properties. Managing naval tenancies requires a different approach than a typical student let or family home.
At the same time, the University of Plymouth brings more than 25,000 students into the city, sustaining significant demand for HMO properties and shared houses in areas like Mutley and Greenbank. And the ongoing transformation of Millbay and the Royal William Yard is drawing a younger professional demographic who want high-quality waterfront living — pushing rents upward in those regeneration corridors and creating opportunities for landlords willing to invest in the right areas.
For portfolio landlords, this diversity is both an opportunity and a management challenge. Each tenant type comes with different compliance requirements, different void risk profiles, and different expectations. An agent who only understands one segment of this market will struggle to serve you well across your whole Plymouth portfolio.

Vetted local contractors across Plymouth and the wider Devon area. Fast response, competitive quotes, and quality workmanship — whether it is a leaking roof in Stoke or a boiler issue near the Hoe.

Why PRS Living
Why Portfolio Landlords Choose Us in Plymouth
Plymouth has no shortage of letting agents. Most of them are built for a single landlord with a single property — they will manage your Mutley terrace or your Barbican flat just fine. But the moment you ask them to manage your Exeter flat and your Taunton apartment at the same time, you are outside their capability. You end up juggling agents, formats, and relationships across every city.
PRS Living was built specifically for landlords who own properties in multiple locations. Our Devon base means we are genuinely close to your Plymouth portfolio, not managing it from a call centre hundreds of miles away. We know the difference between a Millbay conversion and a Victorian terrace in Ford. We understand that naval tenants have specific requirements and that student lets near the university need careful compliance management.
And because we manage properties across 7 English locations, when your portfolio grows beyond Plymouth, we grow with you. One contact, one consistent standard, one consolidated monthly report — however many properties you own, wherever they are.
