Between classes, homework, and rest, who has time to search for an apartment? The answer is no one, but don’t panic! This post will make sure you are able to find student properties near your college without going mad (or broke). Now, let’s get to work!

1. Start Early

Timing is always the key to success. Think about your homework. If you keep putting it off, you’ll face a situation where there is no time left at all. You’ll have to contact experts and ask them, “Can you do my coursework to UK standards by tomorrow?” The same principle applies to house search. The sooner you apply, the better off you will be. 

Most properties fill up quickly, especially in the early semester. Try to begin searching at least 2-3 months before you must move in. Set a date on your calendar. Visit outside of peak times: weekdays are less crowded than weekends.

2. Apply College Resources

Your college is an ideal starting point. 

  • Housing Office: If your school has a housing office, see if they have listings or guidance available.
  • Boards and bulletins: Check for signs on campus. What students post, you would never guess!
  • College Groups: Join forums or social media groups for your college. You might find good offers there.

3. Online Rental Services

The internet is your best ally. There are many rental websites and apps. Here are some popular solutions:

  • Zillow
  • Apartments.com
  • Craigslist (just be cautious)
  • Facebook Marketplace

Filter your search by price, location, and number of bedrooms. Mark properties you love to come back to them later.

4. Consider Your Budget

Always consider how much you can spend. For example, if you can’t come up with a great theme for your research, there is no need to jump straight to paying someone else to help you. You can look up topics for modern studies assignment completely for free. Similarly, don’t get overly excited about a fancy apartment: know your budget. The price of housing can be different for different regions and facilities.

  • Fix a Monthly Budget: It must include your rent, your utility bills, and other costs.
  • Find Roommates: Sharing a room is cheap, and living with friends is so much more fun!

5. Location Is Key

Will you be near campus, or would you like a quiet location? Think of the following:

  • Hours to commute: See how much time it takes to walk, bike, or use public transport to get to class.
  • Proximity to Other Services: Look for grocers, cafés, and parks. They can make your life a little bit easier when they’re close by.

6. See Properties in Person

Real estate tours can help you spot any problems in advance.

  • Look for Red Flags: Check for stains, raccoons, or anything suspicious.
  • Ask questions: Don’t be shy! Ask the landlord about rent, utilities, and repairs.

7. Read Past Reviews and Talk to Tenants

Do some research before you sign a contract. Check online reviews on the property/landlord.

If you can, speak to previous or current tenants. They can give you valuable info that’s not available anywhere else.

8. Read the Lease Agreement

Always check the contract before signing a lease. A few considerations:

  • Time-Length: Check for the dates. Will you be stuck here for a year?
  • Deposits and Fees: Make sure to find out how much you’ll need to deposit upfront and any hidden fees.

More Good Tips

Follow these additional steps to have a smoother search:

  • Keep Your Options Open: Sometimes, an apartment might not meet all of your criteria. Show a little flexibility in your demands.
  • Deal Down: Never be afraid to discuss rent or lease terms with landlords. Some will bargain, particularly if the property has been on the market for a while.
  • Safety: Check if the community is safe. Assess the crime rates and visit at different times of day to get a feel for the neighbourhood.

Home Sweet Home. Finding It Again

With the right home, you will have time to do what you do best: study and have a great time! So, don the good-soled shoes, open your laptop, and start looking. Welcome to house hunting and good luck!
