Things to Consider When Searching for Rooms to Rent

If you are moving to a new city to be a student at University or begin a new job working for a University, then chances are you will looking for student accommodation or for rooms to rent. Moving to a new city can be daunting, especially if you haven’t organised anyone to live close to your moving date so preparation is the key. As a company that arranges rooms to rent Coventry for students and academics that will be studying or working at Coventry University, we have a lot of experience in organising student accommodation and house rentals.

We have listed below five important factors to consider when looking for rooms to rent. These are the key points you should consider when beginning your initial property search and will help letting agents in finding you the right kind of rooms to rent.

Area/location

When looking for rooms to rent Coventry it is important to think about the location of properties and what area it’s located in. There are a number of areas in Coventry that are considered student areas due to the high number of student accommodation and rooms to rent. Some of these are found in the city centre and so are located close to town and the University. Others are further away and require a 20 minute walk or bus ride to get to the University but these rooms to rent Coventry will be in quieter areas so still have many positive aspects. It all depends on what your preferences are but if you let the letting agents know, then they can help you find the right student accommodation Coventry University.

Property type

The types of properties that can be rented include apartments, houses, en-suite, studios or room only. Informing letting agents of what type of properties you are interested in will allow them to only show you ones that are relevant to your needs.  If you just want single rooms to rent Coventry, then there is no point in showing you 3 bedroom houses or if you want to have en-suite facilities, then telling the letting agents will make searching for your student accommodation easier.

Minimum bedrooms

The number of bedrooms obviously relates to how many rooms to rent there are in the property, which means how many people you will be house sharing with. If you don’t want to share with lots of people then make sure you are only looking at properties with a maximum of three bedrooms. You may find some student properties that can house up to twelve bedrooms, so think about the maximum number of people you would be willing to fight for the bathroom with in the morning.

Furnishings

If you already own a lot of furniture then you will probably be better off looking for un-furnished rooms to rent but you will also find many properties that come furnished. This usually includes a bed, bedside cabinet wardrobe and a desk.

Minimum/maximum rent

The budget of a student looking for accommodation will differ to that of an academic looking for rooms to rent Coventry, so specify your budget so that you only view rooms that you will be able to afford. There’s nothing worse than finding the ideal property then finding out the cost is way above your budget, so set your minimum and maximum rent costs so that you won’t be disappointed.

If you take into consideration these five key factors then you should find that viewing potential rooms to rent and student accommodation will be an easier task.
