When to start looking for accommodation
Take your time to find the right property
It may seem like a great idea to begin to look as early as October or November for the next academic year, but this can have its pitfalls, such as changing your mind about who you want to live with or finding a more suitable property. Remember, once you sign a tenancy agreement it is legally binding, so you cannot cancel it.
When you're ready to start your search and sure about who you want to live with, take your time to do plenty of property viewings so that you can compare properties and get a good deal. You may feel pressured by friends or by landlords/agents to sign early, especially if everyone is talking about booking, however, it's important that you take time to think through your options and make the right decision for you. LSH are here to support you, so if you need advice about renting private student accommodation, please get in touch.
LSH will advertise properties for the 2025/26 academic year on 2nd December 2024.
Students who are studying at our stakeholder institutions are welcome to attend our Accommodation Fairs.
