As the first year of your university life ticks on by, it’s time to think about moving out of halls, and into student accommodation. Here at LetPads, we are Preston’s leading student accommodation experts. Winners of the UCLAN award for Landlord of the Year multiple times, we know a thing or two about finding student accommodation in Preston. So where do you start?
Word of mouth
Whether it’s a flyer in the student union, or you already know of a property available, or your friends are leaving one behind, this can be a great place to begin. After all, you already know a little bit about it. However, don’t assume that there wont be problems lurking under the surface. Make sure you ask all the right questions when you get to a viewing.
Number of occupants
If you are starting from scratch with your hunt for student accommodation, its a good idea to decide how many of you would like to live in the same house. Perhaps you’d prefer to live alone? Or maybe you’d like to share with 7 of your friends? Either way, you need to know how many bedrooms your new property needs to have.
Check out the landlord
So you’ve found the perfect 6 bed-roomed home, and you’re all fighting over the biggest bedrooms already, but what do you know about the landlord? Before you commit to a year of landlord hell, make sure you check out their reviews. But don’t just look at those online reviews, talk to existing tenants and find out what they have to say about paying the rent, and any landlord demands.
