Find a New Student House

<<< back to article list

Most students know a few final year students. They are a source of information for you! Think about the following when looking for a new student house:

The chances are that they have been in private accommodation for two years and have found a good house - they know the ropes.

They are possibly going to be moving out at the end of the year so the house may be available - ask!

The best houses definitely rent first.

The best deals (price - quality - situation) will also go first BUT you may find other deals if you wait and let the landlords sweat - you've just got to judge your market.

If your 'house' group is large or is out of the ordinary in any particular way, start searching now or even earlier - your requirement may mean that you need maximum choice.

Under no circumstances pay to get on an agent's books - he gets his commission from the landlord - if he insists, look elsewhere.

Try to find a private landlord, one who lets direct - after all, he's the one who's most interested in making sure that his tenants are happy!

Your new landlord wants to know that you are going to be good tenants - BUT you also should check up on him - ask around - ask the existing tenants - ask the Advice Centre at the Union - what do they know about him?

Get the tenancy agreement checked by your Student Advice Centre before you sign it - once signed, it's too late!

Make sure that your 'house' group can get on - there's not a lot worse knowing that you've got yourself stuck with a toe-picking wally who thinks that 7 in the morning is a good time to check if he's got a voice like Julie Andrews!

Advice costs nothing but can be worth a lot - boring but true!
