Most helpful review

Property itself is decent and near pubs/supermarkets. Flat was clean. TV never worked, no remote for TV despite chasing. Landlady very hostile, unorganised, likes to threaten court action over nothing...poor grammar and unhelpful. Avoid, far nicer properties and landlords.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Unprofessional, don’t reply to emails when you ask them questions, kept getting bit by something at night which I can only assume are BED BUGS so I had to return home, asked about what to do about the bed bugs got no response. toilet flush didn’t work properly either. Good location but I would avoid as there is much better accommodation in Sheffield

Heater only works a couple of hours a day, even in the freezing winter! Told them that it's very cold, they never ectended the time or solved the problem. So I had to write to the Sheffield City Council to complain! They made the heater controllable for like 5 days and put it back to the timed heater again. It is ridiculous! They told me that the heater was fully controllable throughout the whole year before I moved in, when really it's just a huge lie! I have only been here a couple of months, water boiler has broken down 4 times already! It's terrible especially it's in the winter! The building itself is alright, it's the everything else is terrible including the letting manager. Never would I recommend anyone to stay here. Please avoid if you don't wanna waste your money.
