😭Say goodbye to anxiety and panic! ❗️The ultimate guide to renting accommodation for studying in the UK! ❗️
For sisters who are about to study abroad this year but haven't rented a house yet, don't panic and rush into decisions.
⏰ Recommended timing: Start looking for a place one or two months in advance. There are limited rooms available, and the earlier you start, the more options you'll have!
🏠 Research and screening: Make sure to research the rental situation around your school, including student apartments and other options. Consider the living facilities, prices, and layout of the houses. Don't forget to also consider transportation options, as you'll need it for both commuting to school and exploring the area.
👀 Once you find a house you like, the next step is to schedule a viewing and observe the surroundings of the property in person. Unlike in some other countries, the orientation of the house is not as important here since the weather is generally similar in all directions.
📝 Reservation and signing the contract: Once you have found a satisfactory room or apartment, you will need to provide the necessary information, pay a deposit, and sign the contract. After that, you can relax and wait for your move-in date.
💡 You can choose between shared and individual renting, depending on your situation and preferences!
