Student Accommodation > Living in London > The beginning...

So if you’re looking to start renting in September and your looking in may then you probably won’t find much out there, not to say you won’t be lucky.

Looking Early

Best thing to do if you are looking early is to go to the private accommodation office in your university. If you’re going to find a landlord looking specifically for a 9 month student lease beginning when term starts then you’re most likely going to find it there. But beware, if someone in London is looking to rent exclusively to students then there is a good chance the property isn’t the prettiest.

If it gets to the end of the third term and you have no where lined up for the next year then you are best off to start looking around late august unless you are willing to move in earlier, and pay for it! If you try looking any earlier then you will most likely be told to come back later anyway.
