[UK, 17/05/2022] Students need to be strategic when choosing their next home away from home. Many factors come into play when finding the perfect student housing, and it can be difficult to know where to start.
Leeds-based student housing provider, HOP, provides their top tips on what to look out for when viewing student housing.

Budget
Students first need to consider their budget and what type of property they can afford. How much they can afford to spend will determine the type of property they can look at. Negotiating with landlords is also important to get the best deal possible. The rent should be all-inclusive, so there are no hidden costs.

Location
Location is critical when choosing student housing. In Leeds, many students choose to live in Headingley, which is close to the universities and has a vibrant student community. Students should also consider whether they want to live in a house or an apartment and if they want to share with other students or have their own space.

Amenities
They should also consider the amenities that are included in the property. Does it have everything they need, such as an internet connection, a washing machine, and a TV? Is the property furnished or unfurnished?

Security
Finally, students need to think about their security. Student housing should have security features such as CCTVs and a secure entry system. There should also be a 24-hour on-call service in case of any emergencies.
