Types of accommodation and services

The company offers several rental options tailored to students' needs:

• Group lettings: the possibility of renting several adjacent or nearby houses to the same large group.
• Rooms in shared houses: pairing individual students to form 4 or 6-bedroom houses, aiming for tenants to share study years and similar courses.
• Postgraduate houses: a specific service for postgraduate students, pairing them with each other.
• One-semester accommodation: an option for courses that only require one semester, whether for one member of a group or the entire group.
• Placement year houses: the company organises open days so that placement students can meet each other and view properties at weekends, fostering community and the possibility of swapping houses if they wish.
