#1 who is your housemate

So first of all, who do you want to live with? It can be difficult deciding your flatmate a year in advance. However, don’t worry, we have a blog to help you decide how to pick your perfect flatmate.

#2 What is your budget?

The next thing to do is to decide on your budget. Make sure it is one which everyone can afford. It is easy to get carried away, but when set a realistic budget it is easy to separate what you can and can’t afford. Let the letting agency know so they can tailor their property search around you. Making sure they are only showing you properties which you can afford.

#3 Location, Location, Location

Now it’s about choosing your location. This is very important, and this can affect your budget depending on where you choose. As the further out you go, the cheaper it will be. So make sure you are aware of the different areas around Newcastle and their price ranges.

#4 Look around

Don’t rush into choosing your property, make sure you have seen as many properties as possible before you put pen to paper. This will ensure you have found the right property for you.

#5 ask questions

Make sure you ask questions to the agency with any queries you may have. Newcastle Student Housing will help you with any doubts you may have as we are experts in the field!
