Services
I started the business in 2015 when I felt there was a gap in the market for an honest, forward thinking estate agent. I'm hugely passionate about selling, renting & managing properties & treat every property as if it's our own. I believe in making all stakeholders journey with us a positive one! I'm also passionate about sports & spending time with my friends & family.
Here at Zenko Properties, we take customer service very seriously. It is hugely important to us that all stakeholders have a great experience with us every time. We treat every property like it is our own and every client like we would like to be treated if we were in their shoes. We used Tobias and his team to rent and sell our families properties over the past few years covering Huddersfield, Wakefield and Leeds.
At Zenko Properties, we are passionate about selling properties - it's what we do. We treat every seller, buyer, and home like it was our own experience. We know how much of an important time it is when you are selling your home and it is our responsibility to ensure that your experience is smooth, stress-free and successful.
Here at Zenko we specialise in sales, lettings and property management but our real niche is whole developments and investment properties. We are proud to market iconic city centre developments and we also have a wide selection of investment opportunities with gross yields up to 9%.

Comprising studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments including some duplexes, The Gas Works offers York a new standard of luxury living, situated within nine acres of carefully landscaped grounds.Zenko Properties are proud to present the brand new Hopton Lane gated community of three family homes named Headlands, located in the heart of Mirfield, a sought-after family town situated between Huddersfield and Dewsbury.
We offer a Property and Block Management service at both our Leeds City Centre branch and our Knowles by Zenko Properties branch in Silsden. As we are a local, independent business we take extra pride in what we do. We are able to give more time to not only yourself as the landlord, but also to every tenant we deal with.

Recently attended a viewing with Martin for a property in Leeds City centre. Martin was friendly, knowledgeable about the property and communicative at all times following.
We submitted an offer of £50pm below the asking price, with the caveat that we were happy to pay the full asking price, should this be unacceptable.
We received a quick response advising that the landlord was happy to proceed with the offer and would we be happy with a 6 month rolling contract as the landlord intends to sell the house in the future and flexibility would be appreciated.
We said great, and asked for a definition

I've had a really positive experience renting my first flat with Zenko Properties. Each step of the process has been so quick and easy - and I want to thank Martin in particular for being incredibly helpful and prompt when answering my many(!) queries. He's really gone above and beyond to provide as much assistance and useful info as possible. Would 100% recommend!

We have chosen Zenko as the full management company for our first property. We are very happy with their service, Susana is very responsive and professional. She helped us rented our flat very quickly with a good rental income.
We recommend Zenko. Many thanks Susana for all your support :)

Would very highly recommend this company for rental management! From the very onset of buying a property to eventually taking over tenant management, Tobias and his team have guided me along the way in a professional and friendly manner. They answer queries in a swift manner..only last week, I emailed at approx 9:30pm and I got a detailed response within 5-10minutes! (Can evidence this if required).
Management of property is one of the very best I have seen. Both tenant and landlord would have no complaints!

We have been using Tobias and Zenko for the past 6 years. From the original purchase to managing the flat for us, Tobias has always made the process simple and easy. They respond extreme quickly and efficiently to any email/call from us and our tenants have always been happy with the service they receive from them. They are a very professional estate agency and would recommend to anyone looking to purchase or for ongoing management.

Of all the agencies that have managed my properties on my behalf over the years, Zenko Properties is in my opinion the best of the lot. Tobias has always been my point of contact and, together with his efficient team, they have always dealt with property-related issues promptly and professionally. It is because of this that they receive my full five-star recommendation.

Are you looking for a professional estate agent in Leeds? Do you want a STRESS FREE process? Look no further! Zenko properties is your first choice estate agent in Leeds! We have experience dealing with Susana McKenna and Martin Bowman. They are very professional, helpful and respond promptly to emails. Zenko properties has assembled the best team. Our process took less than four days from viewing to signing a contract. This is impressive; they have streamlined their renting procedure, every step is paperless and effortless. I highly recommended this estate agent in Leeds.

I recently sold my flat with Tobias. He was extremely helpful, professional and communicative during the process of getting the property on the market and he sold my flat within 4 days of this being on the market. During the conveyancing process, Tobias continued to be highly communicative with myself and the Buyer, chasing and providing updates as… appropriate to ensure a swift and hassle free sale. Although Tobias managed my sale from start to finish, whenever I have called into the office or telephoned, all of the staff members have been highly professional and courteous. I would certainly

Zenko properties were amazing in helping sell our home, not only did we have buyers for the property within 3 weeks of listing it, but we also received the price we wanted for the property. Chris and Tobias made the process as easy as they could, they provided follow up and supported both us and the buyer along the way. As we have relocated abroad it was instrumental for us that we had an agency we could trust and who made the process easy - the Zenko team did a great job!!

Really happy with the service I’ve received from Zenko so far. The whole process went smoothly and by far the easiest moving experience I’ve had. Oneeka, Sophie and Susana were all great.

Amazing service, it is pretty hard finding any place to rent at the moment but Zenko really looked after us, particularly Susana. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for and took all the usual hassle out of finding an apartment. We couldn't recommend them more!
