And most students will expect the property to be fully furnished. You will also need to think about the perfect time to let your property. Each area will be different but most students will start looking from January – August.

You will also need to think about the size of your property you will generally require a property that has 3 or more bedrooms and large communal spaces. More than one bathroom would also have more appeal.
