Student Properties for You this Year

At Unihousing we strive to be the best student lettings agency and we aim to make sure that students receive some of the finest accommodation and living standards in Birmingham. The new year means new opportunities, and with that in mind, you may be interested to learn about Unihousing’s current range of student accommodation in Selly Oak. Get settled in the comfort of your own privacy by choosing one of our studios, or take a look at the other accommodation options that are available now through Unihousing.


If you’re looking for somewhere that you can really make your own then opting for a studio might be the right choice for you. Not only do you have the peace and quiet of being on your own in a studio, but this type of accommodation also allows you to have the freedom and independence that other types of student homes do not. Harrow Road Apartment 5 is one example of a Unihousing studio. Harrow Road Apartment 5 is equipped with a new modern fitted kitchen that includes appliances and a fitted shower room. Fully furnished with the essentials for student living, with this studio you will also enjoy the benefits of it being double glazed and it's a short distance from the University of Birmingham and the nightlife of Selly Oak Village.

You can also have a look at Dawlish Road Apartment 1. This accommodation has been laminated throughout and has been refurbished to a high standard, it is inclusive of bills and internet, and at no extra cost, it includes a TV. If you want to be sure that your studio will provide you with a good amount of space, and will do so without affecting the price, then maybe check out Grange Road Apartment 1. Newly refurbished, this studio incorporates laminate flooring and central heating as well as a double bedroom and a stylish shower room. Another option you can find on our website is Grange Road Apartment 6, a well-priced studio with an amply sized living/bedroom area. Aside from being functional and ideal for happy student living, Unihousing studios are also not without a sense of style, as the tasteful Tiverton Road Apartment 5 and the well-presented Dawlish Road Apartment 5 demonstrate.


If, on the other hand, you’re looking for student accommodation that gives you the chance to live with a group of others, Unihousing can help. At Unihousing, we provide several high standard houses that all feature numerous attributes designed to help make your student living experience as good as possible. Tiverton Road, for example, is a house for you and two friends to share and boasts a communal lounge for those late nights in front of the TV, plus a fitted kitchen with appliances and a charming rear garden, ideal for long summer evenings. Alternatively, take a look at Alton Road. This impressive property offers a fitted bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and shower, new bedroom furniture and, downstairs, laminate flooring and a communal lounge with a flat-screen TV.
