Why we think Unihousing is the Best Landlord in Selly Oak

As a student, you may be fairly certain about what kind of accommodation is right for you. However, finding a place to settle in, that matches your desires, can sometimes be a challenge. At Unihousing, in Selly Oak, we have a wide variety of properties and it is very likely that you will find the student accommodation you are looking for.


 What Unihousing Student Accommodation Offers



There is a general list of things that you can expect from Unihousing's  student accommodation. All are great for making your time with us as a tenant as pleasant and problem-free as you could hope for.

We Provide


  • Excellent Location: All of our Birmingham student accommodation is situated a short distance from the University of Birmingham. This should make getting into lectures on time that little bit easier. Selly Oak is also highly convenient for public transport and for accessing the city centre as well as other Birmingham suburbs.

  • Full Furnishings: Our student accommodation boasts full furnishings, making setting up home easier and ensuring a better day-to-day living experience for yourself and your housemates.  Unihousing have equipped each accommodation with good quality furniture, including: sofas, beds, cupboards and desks as well as fridge/freezer and washer/dryer, oven and microwave.  Some properties feature extra luxuries, such as Jacuzzi baths, for an added touch of indulgence.
  • Property Maintenance Team: Made-up of 16 engineers, our Property Maintenance Team are ready to respond to any issues our tenants may have with their accommodation. Emergency repairs and general housing problems will be seen to promptly and efficiently. So, you can be at ease, if you decide to opt for one of our studios or houses, knowing that if anything goes wrong we will rectify the problem.
  • Full Gas Central Heating: Enabling you to keep your accommodation always at a comfortable temperature, the central heating will enable you to relax at home and dedicate your energy to your studies and to chilling out, rather than to keeping yourself warm. 
  • Electric Showers: A key part of the package, having these in your digs will give you much-needed daily convenience.

  • Utility Bills and Internet Included in Rent for Studios: This makes keeping track of your finances infinitely easier.
  • All Communal Areas in Studios Cleaned Regularly by Staff: This ensures that these areas stay hygienic and more welcoming on a consistent basis, making your studio a more pleasant place to be. It also saves those arguments with fellow housemates about who's turn it is to clean up next, or who is most to blame for the mess. 


Life in a Studio


Unihousing student studios are a form of accommodation that Birmingham students are sure to appreciate. The studio enables you to lead a simplified, streamlined existence that is tailored-made for the typical uni lifestyle. Your studio offers you control, privacy and an independent lifestyle, where you can choose who to spend time with and when. Therefore, it's good to think about some of the aspects of studio living, and how to make the most out of your time there.



Cooking: Of course, there is always the option of having take-aways or even going out to restaurants to eat, especially living in Selly Oak. Doing that on regular basis though, is neither healthy or cost-effective. For those reasons, you should familiarise yourself with the cooking equipment in your studio. There are plenty of tips, guides and websites that will give you recipes and advice to make meals that are both healthy and affordable. You can make tasty meals that are simple to prepare as well. If you are able to build-up some culinary skills as a student, living independently will be a lot easier for you.


Cleaning: No, it's not an enjoyable job, but it's pretty essential. Cleaning doesn't have to be too complicated or demanding for it to be effective. And, as your accommodation is a studio, it should be fairly simple. Tidying, dusting and cleaning the bathroom are probably the main tasks to be completed. The more frequently you do them, the less thorough the cleaning will need to be.

Make It Your Own: One factor to think about when living in a studio is: how to make the place feel like it's your own. This may not seem important, but adding a few decorative items to your place or arranging things in a way that reflects your tastes, interests, or even just looks nice to you, can make a huge difference. It may only be a minor alteration, but making a studio your own can make you feel more settled, happy and relaxed, which is surely what you want.
