CLICK HERE !! TO SEE A WEBSITE WITH ADVICE!!
If you are about to enter the world of private rented accommodation for the first time there are several important decisions to be made; where to live, who to live with, how much to pay, and so on. Unfortunately most students stumble through the experience, learning as they go but suffering the consequences of their mistakes. In some, thankfully rare, instances those consequences can be very serious - the risk of a fatal fire is up to sixteen times greater in a three storey shared house*.

If you are about to enter the world of private rented accommodation for the first time there are several important decisions to be made; where to live, who to live with, how much to pay, and so on. Unfortunately most students stumble through the experience, learning as they go but suffering the consequences of their mistakes. In some, thankfully rare, instances those consequences can be very serious - the risk of a fatal fire is up to sixteen times greater in a three storey shared house*.
Don't worry, we are here to hold your hand. We've put together a series of eleven articles covering the main issues in a user-friendly format that we hope will make the whole experience a little less stressful.
Most first time students move straight from the family home into rented accommodation. If you’re lucky enough to spend your first year in halls then at least you’ll have time to adjust to living away from home before braving the private rental sector and all the pitfalls that it can throw up. However, renting a privately owned property is a whole new ball game.

This guide will help you to make informed choices by taking you through the process step-by-step and advising you on the best course of action. We appreciate that the private rental sector is competitive so to give you the best chance of finding a suitable property we have tried to be as pragmatic as possible.
To keep the guide to a manageable length we have included links to other sources of information where appropriate. These are designed to give more information to those students that have a particular area of concern.
If you feel that you are already sufficiently prepared for the experience why not test your knowledge by taking our Student Accommodation Quiz. We should warn you that some of the questions have even sent the professionals clambering for their text books. For good solid advice: CLICK HERE !!
