A little reassurance goes a long way.
Helping someone choose their student home? Start with the costs, the tenancy and who to contact. We keep the practical details together so you can talk them through.
Know what you are budgeting for.
Compare the whole tenancy, not just the weekly rent. A useful conversation covers the length of the agreement, monthly payments and the money needed before move-in.
