Rightmove Students – Parents, how can you help with student accommodation?

Whichever university year your son or daughter are about to embark on, finding accommodation can be a mine field that you probably want to help them navigate through.

Firstly, be clear on location – student areas sometimes aren’t in the most glamorous part of town but it is important to be amongst other students to feel part of the community and not be isolated.

Search for available property on Rightmove Students and get in touch with one of our many advertisers specialising in student accommodation.

There are many different types of student accommodation including a shared house, private halls, university accommodation and independently renting. All have their pros and cons and vary in quality and cost so all should be investigated.

It is important to view the property to get a feel for the size of the rooms, condition, furniture included and area. Questions can then be asked to the agent about the bills, deposit, payment dates etc.

There are lots of helpful articles on Rightmove Students to guide you through all the stages involved.
