This is really just common sense, those groups who start looking early will get a choice of all the properties there are, and they will naturally choose the properties that offer the best facilities, in the best locations, for the best prices.  This means by definition, that the properties left un-let later in the year are not nearly as good. 

 

You should start looking in November if you want to get the very best properties.

Step 1                   Start looking early!

Step 2   - Choose Which Area you want to live in!

Text Box: Make a list of the facilities offered by the properties you look at, ensure that any property you choose has all the essentials you require.  Some things like Burglar Alarms & Smoke Alarms & High Quality Entrance Locks, may not seem so essential, however for student houses they are.  
Think of it this way, If these safety features are ever needed & you don't have them - you will certainly regret it!  Better to be safe than sorry!  

Try and look past any posters and furnishings brought in by the current tenants, and whether or not the place is kept tidy/untidy.  You will be renting the property without any of their possessions in and you will be responsible for keeping the place clean and tidy.

Step 5      Check the facilities  & state of repair.

Text Box: Make sure you get any contract checked and approved by your University Accommodation Dept. / Solicitor / Parents. This is standard practice. We will not let you sign a contract with us until you have had the opportunity to reassure yourselves that you are happy with it, any reputable landlord/agent should do the same.  



For all our Student Accommodation in Leicester we give you a 24 Hours Exclusive hold on any property you state you want to let, when we give you a copy of our contract [after you have viewed one of our properties], such that you have a reasonable amount of time to have our contract checked.

Step 6    Make sure you get any contract checked.
