Looking for student accommodation anywhere can be tricky business. There are plenty of things one has to consider before finalising the right one. While the process of hunting for a new student accommodation may sometimes induce anxiety, it doesn’t always have to be like that.

We will help streamline your search for accommodation and smoothen the process for you. Here, we will help you find accommodation that will suit your needs and help you live happily in Brighton.

1)      Word of Mouth

What’s the best way to tell if the accommodation is right for you or not? Listening to your friends. They are the best ones to give an unbiased opinion on whether or not the place has a good vibe to it. You can ask your seniors, who may have already been through the process and can help guide you through it. Sometimes, they may even be looking out for a roommate, and you could be the perfect fit! If not, they could even advise you to help out with the areas you should opt for and the ones you should be avoiding during your hunt.

2)      Weigh The Pros and Cons

The rent you will be paying should match most of your accommodation expectations, or you may have a feeling that it is not worth it and regret your decision later. To avoid this, we suggest making a list of all the things that you are looking for and see if your chosen place matches your expectations. Not everyone is okay with sharing a room with a roommate or having their accommodation located at a large distance from the university. A good accommodation would be something that fits well within your budget and closely matches your list. If the pros outweigh the cons in your case, you may have found the right student accommodation for yourself.

3)      Don’t Hesitate To Ask

You will never know until you ask, so do not hesitate. You do not know what you maybe missing out on, simply because you were too afraid or lazy to ask questions. If you’re confused about what to ask, you could simply ask them what all does the rent cover? Does it include bills or will you be paying them separately? What amenities does the property include? Does the property have a water problem? Can the property handle the rains? Is the area safe to move around late at night? This will give you a fair idea of what your stay at the particular property will be like.

4)      Be Clear

Be clear about what you’re expecting from a student accommodation. Communicate your thoughts and ideas to the agency or landowner beforehand. Reading the tenancy agreement thoroughly before signing it is a wise idea. If you’re not sure, you could run it through a friend or a guardian to ensure everything seems alright before going ahead with your decision. If you find any red flags, speak of it to the owners or your agency. You will spot the the obvious ones like mouldy/damp walls, broken furniture, bad neighbours and more. If that’s the case, trust your gut and skip this one. You don’t want to regret this decision in the future.

5)      Don’t Settle

When we see other friends finding accommodation and moving into their new homes, it may feel like we’re too late. The last thing you want to do when booking an accommodation is settling. It may seem like the end of the world  but you will have other options available, always. So, don’t worry and go about your accommodation hunting steadily. You will find something that matches your vibe and is affordable at the same time.
