We maintain high standards through full-time maintenance staff and rigorous pre-move-in inspections. Our strategic locations in Highfield, Portswood, and the Polygon cater to both Southampton University and Solent University students.We eliminate financial barriers by requiring no deposit, instead securing tenancies through signed agreements and initial rental payments.

Student Accommodation
We provide fully furnished student accommodation with double beds and well-equipped kitchens. Properties range from two-bedroom flats to eight-bedroom houses in prime Southampton locations. All properties undergo thorough inspections before move-in to ensure quality standards.
Property Viewings
We arrange guided viewings of available properties with our team members. Viewings require prior coordination via phone or email to ensure availability. Group viewings are recommended for shared accommodation decisions.
Tenancy Agreements
We facilitate electronic tenancy agreements without requiring a deposit. The process includes parental guarantee forms and direct debit arrangements for rent payments. Agreements are legally binding documents outlining tenant and landlord responsibilities.
Maintenance Services
Our full-time maintenance team handles repairs and upkeep of all properties. Emergency support is available outside office hours for urgent issues. Regular inspections ensure properties remain in optimal condition throughout tenancies.
Location-Based Housing
We offer accommodation in three key student areas: Highfield (near university campuses), Portswood (shopping and nightlife proximity), and Polygon (city centre access). Each location caters to different group sizes and lifestyle preferences.
