Condensation is an issue nearly every property has to deal with throughout the year (especially winter). Condensation occurs when a lack of warm air or ventilation is present in the home, particularly in the shower or bathrooms.

Here are some of our tips to help reduce condensation in your student accommodation and help keep the mould away:
1. Wipe down the shower screen, bath/shower tiles and floor tiles to get rid of the excess moisture.
2. Never turn off the extractor fans in the shower/bathrooms and kitchens as they help circulate the air and reduce the risk of condensation.
3. If there is a window in the shower/bathroom or kitchen then opening these during a shower, bath or cooking will also help reduce the risk of condensation.
4. First thing in a morning if there is condensation on the windows, then wipe them down with a dry cloth and open the windows to allow for ventilation of the room.
5. If the weather outside is too cold to have the windows open, then having the heating on will keep the air in the home warm and ventilated and help with reducing condensation.
6. Dry your clothes outside where possible, if you are drying clothes indoors make sure the heating is on or the windows are open to let the moisture from the clothes escape and help reduce the risk of condensation.
7. Using a pan lid when cooking will help to reduce the risk of moisture escaping from the pan which could lead to condensation on the windows and other surfaces.

Christmas is a prime time for burglaries especially in unoccupied properties, so we have highlighted a few key things to help your keep your property safe while you are on a night out or away for the Festive Period:
1. Make sure all windows and doors are shut and locked whether the house is occupied or not.
2. Take all valaubales home with you or keep them out of sight when the house is unoccupied.
3. If the house is empty over the Christmas period we would advise to have at least one light to come on a timer setting even just for a couple of hours in an evening.
4. Ensure groundfloor bedroom curtains are kept closed when nobody is in the room.
5. When getting a taxi for a night out or to go away always ask to be picked up away from your property so they dont know which house is unocciped, or passers by do not see you leaving the house.
6. Locked the door? If you are unsure its always best to go back and check.

How did you first week at/back at University go?
We hope you are settling in well!
Here are a few tips we hope you find useful when moving/living in a new home away from home:
Creating a homely feel when at University can make a huge difference, but remember homesickness is completely natural.
Whilst you cannot bring friends and family with you there are a few things you can do to help you feel happy and settled in your Student Accommodation.
choose people to live with who you get on with and share similar interests with
bring framed photos with you from home to put on your desk
bringing homes conforts with you such as scentimental items can make a huge difference.
scented diffusers that remind you of home give a lovely homely feel to student accommodation
But what also may help is having a video call with loved ones when you feel homesick and tell them about your student accommodation and what you may have done the previous week so they feel part of your journey living away from home.
Don't forget we will soon be going live with out 23/24 properties so keep your eyes peeled, why not sign up to be the first to hear about our available properties here!

Juggling your money at university is tricky and takes some time to get the hang of it. Capland have compiled a few tips and tricks in order to make it slightly easier for you.
1) Extra funding – its crucial to seek out all the extra funding you are entitled too beyond your student finance package. Check to see if you can get a grant or a bursary from your uni, and don’t leave it until you’ve already run out of money.
2) Set a Weekly Budget – to do this, divide the number of weeks you are at uni by the total amount of money you have. Try and stick to this budget, but remember to plan for overspending for events such as birthdays or big nights out. If you exceed your budget one week, deduct however much you spent for the following week to keep on track.
Food Shopping – it’s easy to over spend on food if you don’t plan your meals or shopping. By planning your meals for the week and bringing a packed lunch into uni, you will end up saving a lot of money.
H Have you heard of the app 'Too Good to Go'? Well this app is fantastic for getting food for as little as £3 that would otherwise be thrown in the bin
there are more and more supermarkets and convenience stores offering this service which can offer you best before or use by food bundles to not only help you save a little bit of money but also help tackle food waste ... WIN WIN! There is also an app called 'Olio' which allows people known as food waste hero's to collect food waste from various stores then list the food on olio for people to collect for FREE! How good is that!
B But another good thing to look our for are those yellow stickers/ reduced items in most supermarkets and convenience stores, most
stores reduced there best before and use by produce at a certain time each day and you can get some great buys shopping at this time, dont be ashamed of being a yellow sticker shopper, all the food that isnt purchased will go to landfill.. and we dont want that! Most yellow sticker/ reduced items can be kept for a couple more days in your fridge or maybe even frozen as soon as you get home!
4 Find a job – although you may not be too keen to have a job alongside your studies, you can find jobs which are 0-hour contracts and fit nicely into you routine. Even working for a few hours a week can help you keep on top of your budget.
5) Overdrafts – many students will have an overdraft at some point when they are at uni. Try to choose a student bank account which gets you the biggest and longest 0% overdraft you can. This will reduce many money problems you may encounter. However, it is tempting with an overdraft to spend more than you should, so you have to be careful with how you use your overdraft.
6) Transport - a really simple way to save hundreds every year, is to walk more! The majority of student halls or houses will be in walking distance from lectures and seminars. If not, take the bus but check to see if they do a student deal. It’s also a great idea to get a 16-25 railcard, which will help you save a lot on train travel.
