Read PostBuying a to-let property is easy but what about when it comes to appealing to your local university students? This month Uni2 Rent is here to offer you some advice, to help you well on your way to being a successful landlord.
Think about where you buy a property – Oxford students will likely live on campus – so buying a place here would be pointless. Look for places where students will be looking for private landlords. Pick a city that has two universities, this means you won’t be stuck for choice when it comes to student enquiries. Do your research on the university students you wish to attract because some universities will have a list of approved landlords and estate agents to help their students to find clean and safe accommodation.
It’s also important to consider:
Consider the number of bedrooms in the property you buy, as students like to live in groups of 3-5. It’s in your interest to buy a place with 5 bedrooms, if possible, this will help you to maximise your income and better your investment.

It’s more attractive for a university student to be able to move straight into a property without having to put money towards these basic expenses.
As heavy internet users, students will be looking for pictures of potential properties, so make yours stand out. Make sure all of the images are light, bright and spacious, and write a thorough description that includes details such as the number of plug sockets in the room.
Look at the reviews of property management companies and look into the services you want them to provide. Having a middle-man when renting your property can ensure your tenants have a constant point of contact, should they have any queries or concerns.
