3 steps to
house hunting
Step 1
When to start looking?
It’s ideal to begin looking for housing in January to
prepare for September, your next academic year.
Staying where you are
If you already live in off-campus accommodation
and would like to stay in the same property, then
you can sign for another year but don’t forget to get
your contract checked again just in case anything
has changed.
Find a new place
If you are looking for a new property, you’ll be able
to begin your research at the Housing Fair which
takes place at the end of January every year.
We’ll be able to advise you before you meet with
landlords and start viewing properties.
Please don’t panic that there won’t be any good
properties left, we can assure you that there is
plenty of accommodation within the local area
and you’ll be able to find something that
suits your budget and needs.
