Exams, deadlines, revision, trying to survive on iced coffee and snacks… we know May and June are a lot.😅

But if you haven’t sorted your accommodation for September yet — don’t panic. There’s still time, and Studentpad is here to make the search easier (and way less stressful).

Whether you’re looking for a house with friends, trying to find housemates, or searching solo, now’s a great time to start getting organised before everyone disappears for summer.

🔍 Make the most of Studentpad

Studentpad has loads of tools to help you find somewhere that actually suits you.

‍

🎯 Use the filters

Looking for:

• Bills included?
• Ensuite?
• Parking?
• A certain price range?
• Close to campus?

Use the filters to narrow down your search and save time scrolling through places that aren’t right for you.

‍

🗺️ Checkout the map view

One of the best ways to search 👀

Use the map tool to:

• Explore different areas
• See what’s close to campus
• Compare locations
• Avoid accidentally booking somewhere miles away from everyone else…

‍

It’s a game changer when trying to figure out where you actually want to live.

‍

💬 Need people to live with?

Not got your group sorted yet? Don’t worry loads of students are in the same position.

Use:

• Housemate Finder
• Message Board

‍

…to connect with other students looking for people to live with.

‍

Finding your housemates =unlocked 🔓

⚖️Important: Check your contract type

With the new Renters’ Rights Act changes, it’s really important to pay attention to the contract type field on Studentpad before agreeing to a property.

Some tenancy agreements and contract options have changed recently, so make sure you:

‍
✅ Read the details carefully
✅ Understand what type of agreement you’re signing
✅ Ask questions if you’re unsure

‍

A few extra minutes checking now can save stress later.

📚 Exam season? Stay focused

We know accommodation searching during exam season isn’t ideal, so try not to leave it until the last minute.

A little bit of planning now means you can:

• Stay focused on exams
• Avoid summer panic  - Enjoy your time off!
• Have more choice when picking somewhere to live

Need a quick revision boost too? 👇
