Navigating housing as you progress through university can be a game-changer. Here are some reputable companies and areas to consider:

Sadly everyone does housing early - around October/November but houses never run out so there is no need to rush! You don’t want to end up living with people you don’t want to for the next year!

2. **View Properties:** Schedule viewings to get a feel for the space and check for any potential issues.

3. **Budget Wisely:** Factor in all costs, including rent, bills, and maintenance. Don't forget to consider deposits and agency fees.

4. **Read the Contract:** Thoroughly go through your tenancy agreement before signing to avoid any surprises later on.

5. **Communicate:** Openly discuss expectations and responsibilities with your housemates to avoid conflicts.

6. **Report Issues Promptly:** Notify your landlord or agency about any maintenance or repair needs.

Remember, finding the right accommodation can greatly enhance your university experience. Happy house-hunting! 🏡
