Choosing student accommodation in your university city can be a real challenge. There are a range of different types of accommodation available, including halls, flats and private landlords, and choosing a student accommodation provider you can trust, is essential. While you will be expected to provide documents and details about your student finances and status, your student accommodation provider may not provide you with any details at all. And this can lead to some students experiencing a sub par standard of accommodation, with no safety net. So what are the considerations for choosing student accommodation provider you can trust?
What are the considerations for choosing student accommodation provider you can trust?
To choose a trustworthy and reliable student accommodation provider, you should:
- Check out the online profile- Take a look at the website of each accommodation provider you are looking at accommodation with. On here you should be able to find images and videos of real accommodation in your city, as well as further information that might not be given to you, or you might forget to ask about.
- Look for positive reviews- If the company website doesn’t have a review section, check social media as well. A company with a number of genuine recommendations made by other students is a good indicator of the level of professionalism and quality you will receive. A social media profile with not much content, and no recommendations may indicate a company to avoid.
- Ask the right questions- While viewing the property, it’s important to ask the right questions. Make sure you attend the viewing prepared, and pay attention to the way that your questions are answered. If you think the landlord is hiding something, or not being genuine, you’re probably right.
