Letters property management
As York’s largest sole letting agent, our dedicated and experienced team has built our reputation on delivering the highest standards to both landlords and tenants. We only let properties that comply with current legislation and use our knowledge of York to help you find your ideal home.
Managing Director
Anya firmly believes that Letters’ independence, caring ethos and the high standards it demands of both tenants and landlords has made it the successful company it is today. She’s supported by long-serving, dedicated staff who share her commitment to making Letters the go-to company for letting and property management in York. Anya is a law graduate who worked in Finance and IT for international oil companies before joining Letters as Finance Manager in 2002. She took over the company in 2006 and has since built it up with the help of valued colleagues and contractors who share her professionalism, approachability – and willingness to go the extra mile.

Naomi ensures new and returning properties are well-marketed and conducts viewings with prospective tenants. She assists with setting up new tenancies, makes regular property visits and remains a point of contact for any property maintenance issues, ensuring they acted upon promptly and effectively.

Allyson keeps our office running smoothly, taking care of Health and Safety, Human Resources, finance and compliance so everyone else can focus on providing great service to our clients. She’s an expert at smoothing wrinkles – whether it’s on a carpet or forehead – and with an inbox that changes every day, she’d make a pretty good juggler, too!

Top Dog
Woody has been with Letters since birth as his proud owners are Anya and Graeme. He can be relied upon to sniff out treats hidden away in the office and is an expert at cleaning up any crumbs left after lunch. He enjoys checking out dogs who visit with landlords and tenants and is a keen attender of meetings with almshouse trustees. He considers himself the most loved member of staff – and is probably right!
