Every year, students who are starting courses at institutions in Nottingham look for accommodation let by private owners. Although this can be a daunting process you are not alone and we can help you. Unipol works with the Universities and Colleges to organise House Hunting Mixing days where students can meet each other and look for houses. We assist you to make informed decisions, to choose a house and find people that you are happy to live with. Unipol have been operating these events for over 10 years and have a very high success rate in helping students secure accommodation on the day.
There are special house hunting mixing days for Postgraduate, international and EU students. There are also a number of events for Students already in Nottingham who would like to meet other students to form a group.
Unipol Student Homes will have staff available throughout the day to offer support and advice on all aspects of house hunting in the private sector. Staff will help you to form groups and then you will search the web, contact landlords and arrange viewings.
If at all possible it is useful to have access to your own transport on these days as this means you don’t waste time travelling between viewings.
Before attending an event
You may want to do some preparatory work before coming to Nottingham:-
You may want to look at the 'Student to Student Notice Board' on the web page and make contact with other students before the Mixing Days. You can leave a message in the "Looking to form a group" section.
Familiarise yourself with the website and search for properties so that you get a feel for what is available and what facilities you want in a house. Get used to navigating the site, selecting properties and using the clipboard facility.
Look at this website for information on housing guides, deposits and the house hunting checklist. In addition there is a detailed house hunting section covering areas such as who to live with, the best time to look for a house, housing myths, finding a good house and signing for a property.
