So you know what type of property you want to live in, the area you wish to live in, who you want to live with and how much you can afford. Time to start looking for your next student property!
SUBU Annual Housing Fair We have an annual housing fair to help you answer the question whether you are Ready To Rent and to help you with your property search. Check out the back page of this guide for details. SUBU Advice also has a list of agents so you can quickly check out their website and contact them to book viewings.
Viewing accommodation
Have you heard of a landlord that’s good? Do you know of a letting agent you’re keen to rent through? Do you know any final year students moving out that have a property you like? 4 1 www.subu.org.uk/advice
Try to see a house more than once or at least view the area at two different times in the day. It will help you in deciding if the area is good for you. You can potentially meet neighbours to the property as well and where possible, speak to the current tenants to find out what it’s like living in the property. We advise you view at least three properties as this will give you a good overview of what is available and what you may be able to compromise on.
