Finding The Right Student Accommodation in Sheffield

23 September 2021

It’s coming up to that time of the year where students are starting to thinking about their accommodation for the 22/23 academic year in Sheffield.

We’ve compiled some tips to make the process a bit easier for you.

Start searching as early as possible – although October might seem like too early to start looking for a house for next July, the earlier you start looking, the better chance you have of getting the house you want!

Make sure to choose the right people – remember you have to live with these people for a whole year. If you’re stuck with people who you don’t get on with, it will make your university experience a whole lot worse.

ake time to look round a few houses – don’t instantly sign for the first house you see. Try and see a few over the space of a few days so you get a good idea of which house would be right for you and your friends.

Decide a budget for rent – decide amongst your house of how much you are prepared to spend per week, excluding bills. You can then refine your search depending on this budget.

Ask the current tenants and landlord questions – put together a list of questions to ask to get the best feel of the house. Questions about parking, if the property have any history of dampness, fire and carbon monoxide alarms and what will be required to get full deposit back at end of contract.

If you have any questions then please feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help make the process as stress free as possible for you and we have a depth of knowledge about Student Accommodation in Sheffield .

Students Beware

12 February 2020

Please all take a read at the below -

There has been a recent spate of beggars posing as deaf fundraisers in Sheffield, and student are being warned to stay vigilant when out and about.

The perpetrators, who pose as deaf people trying to raise funds in the form of donations, are asking passers by to sign a false petition detailing their 'cause' before asking for money from those they have engaged.

In some instances, people have been asked to withdraw money from nearby cash machines, or targeted by pickpocketing whilst they are distracted reading the petition.

Students are being asked to remain vigilant and alert when walking around the campus and wider city, and advised not to give money or personal details over to anyone who approaches them.

Legitimate charity fundraisers carry a badge to prove thier credentials and do not ask for cash donations up front. If you do spot anything suspicious whilst on campus, you can alert our security team on 0114 225 2000, who will come and investigate further.
