How to advertise your property

Introduction

Studentpad and the University of Birmingham offer the most cost effective and simplest method to let your property/ies quickly and easily. Instead of incurring high costs advertising your property through traditional methods and wasting time and money advertising in places where students don't look, let studentpad.co.uk facilitate the process.

Studentpad works very closely with the University of Birmingham and as such you need to join the University of Birmingham Scheme (see below for details) to be able to advertise on the web site. The University of Birmingham solely use the studentpad software to advertise your properties. In turn, all of the students are referred to www.birminghamstudentpad.co.uk and it is therefore very successful for registered landlords.

Property management module

By registering you will also be able to utilise a number of features which will help you in your day to day tasks , free of charge. These functions include the ability to allow you to manage your maintenance works, send automatic rent reminders to students and remind yourself when gas certificates are due. New features including contract management, online fault reporting and key management will be available soon.


Photographs

Although not compulsory, photographs do make a huge difference to your advert. This is what one of our customers commented; "many people remarked on the photographs, saying how helpful it was to be able to see photos .. Perhaps you could encourage landlords to enclose photos - it's certainly to their advantage"
