It is intended to benefit a range of landlords and letting agents.

Briefing for owners on trends in the private rented sector in Nottingham priced

In this we explain what the current private rented sector market is in Nottingham, factors that may affect this and the intentions of the University in terms of recruiting students and their own accommodation stock. We indicate the type of accommodation students choose and the facilities they prioritise when they choose accommodation. You may find this useful information to have in terms of developing your own housing portfolio, setting your rent levels and considering the contractual terms you offer. The Briefing notes can be viewed here, if you require a hard copy please contact the bureau.

Standard agreements

Unipol has a number of standard agreements, drawn up after consultation with legal experts and reviewed on a regular basis.

Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement priced £1.00

We have produced a standard agreement that you can use when letting your properties. It is specifically designed for student lettings and set out the obligation of each party in the agreement in an easily understandable way. The agreement is recognised by students, welfare agencies and owners alike as offering a fair and straightforward contract at a reasonable price.

Assured Shorthold Tenancy: Notice requiring possession £1.00

This notice is required to be given to give notice of the end of an Assured Shorthold tenancy.

Parental Guarantor Form priced £1.00

Although Unipol do not feel it is good practice for owners to ask parents to sign guarantee forms we have had one drawn up by a solicitor, to restrict the parent liability to that of their child’s share of the contract.

Owner Occupier Agreement forms priced £1.00

This agreement is specifically designed owner occupiers letting to students. It allows you to clarify and record what facilities are shared and those that are not, owners obligations and the students obligations.
