As the UK Government battles growing criticism on various fronts, watchdogs and industry bodies are sharing their dissatisfaction.

Recent rental data shows that demand for rental homes surged in July, rising to the highest levels on record, while the number of properties available to let also rose sharply. The figures show that the UK's lettings market remains broadly healthy despite the difficulties over the past six months during the coronavirus pandemic.
As the economy continues to feel the pain from coronavirus related uncertainty, the latest report from the Deposit Protection Service (DPS) suggests demand for rental properties in the UK has picked up close to pre-pandemic levels. With property moves once again permitted - provided social distancing rules are observed - pent-up demand for new rental properties is being exercised.

If you’re still considering which university is the right one for you, then Sunderland could be a good place to look, particularly if you’re on a budget for your student accommodation. A new study shows that Sunderland is the cheapest university city to rent student digs, coming in at under the £3,000 per year mark. That means students in Sunderland could save almost £2,500 per year on the UK student accommodation cost average of £5,353.
If you’ve secured a place at a UK university as a student from overseas, then congratulations! The UK is well-known for its excellent education system and is home to may Universities that are considered among the best in the world. However, even though you’ve done the hard work of winning your place there’s still the small matter of getting ready for your term, year or entire course based in the UK.
The Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) industry is growing, which is great news for students up and down the UK. Indeed, research shows that for students choosing to live PBSA, they’re more likely to note a higher academic performance and personal well-being, when compared with other housing options.
Moving to college or University often means moving away from home for the first time. Among the many details you need to consider are what insurances you need to help keep your belongings and yourself, safe. Contents insurance is one that springs to mind, while for others health insurance could also be something of interest.
The results are in, you’ve accepted an offer and you have a place at University secured. All that’s left – apart from the working hard for the next few years – is to find the right place to live. Of course, time to decide is short and you need to make a choice, with the two main options being: halls of residence or a shared student house.
Around ten years ago, the purpose-built student accommodation sector was still in its infancy, with UK students’ options typically limited to University run halls of residence or private landlords renting out HMOs (homes of multiple occupation). Fast forward to 2019 and student housing is the most mature market in the purpose-built, build-to-rent industry and according to property experts Savills, it still has the potential to grow even further – much further.
