In 2019 after graduating from the University of Chester, Tolu recognised a disconnect between landlords and the younger generation of students and young professionals. After living in university halls for 3 years, Tolu was inspired to bridge this gap by founding his own property management company and letting agency at just 22 years old…thus, Yourgaff was born.
Fast forward to 2023, Yourgaff now manage over 300 rooms across the North West of the UK. At the heart of our success is a dedicated team who are rich in experience and market knowledge. Our team is made up of a talented bunch in our twenties and we are all UOC alumni.
So, why trust this baby-faced workforce? We have over 12 years of experience in the property industry and we also fit right into the demographic of our tenants, so we’re in the best position to understand what the market wants and needs. Students…we’ve been in their shoes. Young professionals…you’re looking at them!
Whether you’re studying for your degree, starting your career in the city, or you’re somewhere in between, we can help you find your perfect gaff.
The Yourgaff team have over 12 years of collective experience in the property lettings and management industry, so you can trust that you’ll be renting from experts!
We understand that not everyone can commit to a full year’s contract. Yourgaff keep things flexible by offering tenancy lengths from 6, 10 and 12 month’s!
Yourgaff are committed to providing a friendly, honest and transparent approach to lettings, we want to keep the renting process as straightforward as possible!

We have been really impressed with the service we have received from Yourgaff. As landlords living some distance from Chester, we are confident that Tolu and Emma are on hand to deal efficiently with any issues that may arise. Their experience of the market means they can offer really good advice and this has enabled us to successfully make the transition from student to professional let.They are lovely people to work with and we feel that they treat our tenants with respect and ensure a positive experience for all involved.Special mention to Emma... never apologise for a long email! We really appreciate the attention to detail and the way you respond to any queries so promptly and efficiently! Many thanks Emma!
