Finally, someone has explained renting a house in the UK clearly.

Greetings UUers, as the new semester is about to start, I would like to give everyone a brief overview of the situation of renting in the UK. This year, the number of students coming to the UK has increased significantly, and the rental market is extremely hot! Experienced students have already started looking for houses, but it can be quite unfriendly for newbies. Renting time, types of housing, rental process, housing websites, authenticity of housing, surrounding environment and safety, etc., these are all mysteries for newbies. Some students picked up a house that they thought had a high cost performance, but after they moved in, they found out that the heating was not warm, the curtains did not block the light, and the windows did not soundproof, etc. The bad experience made them not only have to go to school, but also look for a new house and sublet the current house, which was really helpless! Thinking of this, some students don't even want to study abroad anymore! 🔥So, how can newbies rent a house in the UK without falling into a pit? First of all, we need to understand some basic knowledge. 🍭The types of housing are: studio, ensuite, 1b1b, 2b1b and 2b2b, 3b1b, 3b2b and 3b3b. These types of housing are common in social housing, and you can choose according to your needs. 🌈In addition, there are some commonly used housing websites, such as Rightmove, Foxtons, Zoople, Spareroom, etc. However, be careful not to rely entirely on the information on these websites, as it is often difficult to tell the truth from the false! 💥So, when is the best time to start looking for a house? If you are sure you want to rent a student apartment, you should grab it as soon as the booking is open, as the price of the apartment may go up later. If you are renting a social housing, you should start looking two months in advance, so you should start taking action in June or July, so you won't be too late. 💥Finally, how to avoid falling into a pit? For student apartments, it is relatively easy. Before determining an apartment, you can search for reviews about the apartment on Little Red Book, mainly looking at the evaluations of students who have lived there before, so that you can understand the situation more realistically. As for social housing, there are more pits, but due to the limited space, I will introduce it in detail in the next article. Stay tuned! 🎉
