Calling all parents sending their students off to Uni, being tasked with "helping" to find their perfect pad!
We understand that what is important to the students is not always the priority of the parents, this is because our team has the perfect mix of recent graduates and parents.
When looking at properties students highest properties are:
* Wi-Fi
* Close to the University
* Wi-Fi
* Shops/Pubs/bars
* Wi-Fi
* Maybe security
* Maybe cost?
Which we confirm we tick all the relevant boxes above but in addition:
* Safety - Our students are our priority, we have 24/7 security, we are located in a quieter area of Harborne, but close enough to local amenities
* Location - closest is around a 15 minute walk, furthest away 25 minutes, both walks are well lit for the winter months and in safer areas
* Budget - All are great value for money and all inclusive of bills (including amazing Wi-Fi), we do have rooms for any budget
* In House - The Halls are managed direct, no third parties, we are the Landlords most staff are in house, this means if there is a maintenance issue, we deal, faulty equipment, we deal. We have a 24/7 phone line for emergencies and maintenance
* Living Conditions - All of our properties are warm and comfortable, no damp and regular inspections to make sure the standard is kept up.
As said, we direct manage, so if you student is coming as a solo booking into a house share, we do our best to make sure the rest of the sharers match.
One of our staff members will have contact with each student prior to finalised allocation just as an additional measure to help with this.
The best thing though is that each time you contact us, it will be part of our team exclusively looking after our 2 sites in Birmingham. We do have a 24/7 answering service but the main functions are all dealt with in house.
Whether you are a seasoned student parent or sending your first one off to Uni, we have been where you are and understand
If it is your first time, give us a call, we can explain about private student renting, payments, guarantors and anything else that seems a bit unclear.
