What to Think About when Looking for University Housing

It is important that you move somewhere that is right for you, somewhere that you can feel happy and relaxed. Unihousing is here to help you.

Tenant Requirements

Looking into property before making a final decision will enable you to have the best possible living experience without any of the hassle. At Unihousing we hope to offer you a place of your own where you can enhance your university experience by living in style and comfort.

Picking Student Property

Everyone has their preferences when it comes to picking a property. Some of these factors may include the price, the location of the property and how it looks inside. These are all important parts of your university experience, however many forget to ask themselves what will it be like living day to day. Taking into account what’s around you and how much it may cost you to travel on a daily basis is often passed aside by tenants. Other influence on your decision that shouldn’t be overlooked would be if your property comes equipped with things such as washing machines and furniture such as a sofa, chairs and table. These simple things that everyone forgets play a big part in housing for university students. Securing a property that is furnished can save you and others staying with you a lot of money, time and energy, not to mention making your move easy and stress free. Here’s just one example of the properties we offer, a studio situated on Dawlish road in Selly oak.

Further things to investigate before choosing a place of your own may include which type of accommodation suits you best. Unihousing offers a range of different accommodation from apartments to houses. The two most popular options are apartments (flats) and studios, the difference between them being that an apartment has a general living area and kitchen, combined with a separate room for sleeping. On the other hand you have studios. They are similar to an apartment, however the bedroom, living area and kitchen are all in one larger room.

Apartments or Studios

The decision between an apartment or a studio can be a tricky one. If is often suggested that a studio is suited to the type of person who prefers a quick paced or streamlined manner as there is always more than just university work to be complete such as washing, cleaning and making the bed. This does however mean that studios do not tend to be ideal for those that like to invite group of friends over. On the other hand you have an apartments, they tend to be a much more convenient space for inviting friends over and having fun, however apartments generally need more furnishings and this can be costly.

Surrounding Area

A final factor in deciding where you want to stay comes in the form of your surroundings and whether it is practical for you as a person. You should take into consideration how far the nearest supermarket is and any other shops that may be of importance to you. Unihousing offer a variety of property’s in the Birmingham area that are suited to all needs. One example of a property at Tiverton road apartment 4 in Selly Oak (Picture below) is surrounded with local shops, supermarkets, restaurants and bars. Other apartments and studios are available on the Unihousing site that may be just what you’re looking for.

There are many areas of consideration, it is important to remember that no matter what you decide it has to be the best for you. We want to ensure that during your time at university you feel comfortable and happy in your accommodation. Don’t forget that moving into a property of your own can be stressful at times so make sure that you keep a clear mind when looking for the right accommodation for you.
