Student Lets - What to Look for
The academic year for most universities and colleges begins this week and it won’t just be Freshers’ Week that consumes students’ energies.
Most first year students will never have lived away from home before and the likelihood is that the majority will be resident in first year halls, however, many students will be living in properties owned by private landlords, properties that they viewed and chose a year ago, but many students will have forgotten what the property looked like, some may not have even been present, leaving the decision making up to their friends.
The first thing which you to establish before looking for a place to live for second and third year, is finding a solid group of friends that you will enjoy living with. You do not have to be best friends but at least get on with them well enough that you can commit to living with them for the next couple of years.

Student Lettings – What a student should look for, from a student’s perspective

When looking for housing, you need to start early as possible! This is because there are a larger range of properties available earlier in the year than there is later on.
To put this into perspective, when I started University in September, I was already looking for houses in the previous November. Dependent on the size of your group will denote which type of property you will require. For example, my group were six in total so this meant we needed to look for 6 bedroom houses as fast as possible.
