STUDENTS LOOKING FOR STUDENT PROPERTIES

In 2010 Sussex University oversubscribed campus halls leaving many students scrambling to find somewhere to live just as the semester is about to begin. There simply were not enough properties on the market to accommodate the rush of distressed students resulting in some having to live in a hostel for the first term!

This year, students have wised up and are not leaving everything to chance in the final hour. We have received over 300 enquiries from students and let eight student houses and it is only January!
Don’t let the misconception that students are messy, noisy and never pay their rent on time to put you off. With the government proposals to increase tuition fees students are being asked to make a bigger financial commitment to their education. Most students therefore want to work hard and live in environment that supports them in throughout their education. Over 10% of the population of Brighton & Hove are students there is a huge potential income for your property which you may have previously rules out!
There are some common pitfalls of student property management and getting the fixtures and fittings right and ensuring repairs and rent problems are dealt with promptly is vital.
