Finding the Right Selly Oak Student Housing

Almost everyone either knows someone who has a horror story about student accommodation or has had one themselves. Poor maintenance, bad or unhelpful agents, and unsuitable accommodation are just some of the villains in these stories.



Whatever it is that you’re worried is going to spoil your time while living at university, here we show you how Unihousing can help stop you from falling into the pitfalls of renting and instead provide what it is that makes a student home right for you.

 

The Situation of the Student Property

One major factor that can make a student home a success or failure for you is how close it is to other places you need to reach regularly. If you are a University of Birmingham student, the most important place that you will need to get to regularly will be your university, which is conveniently just a short walk away.



If you are attending a university in the city centre, the nearby train station means that you are just a short train journey away. Unihousing’s Birmingham student accommodation is also located just a short distance from other parts of Birmingham such as Bournville, Kings Heath and Moseley, offering you further convenience and things to do.  


 

Feeling at Ease

No one likes to be uncomfortable where they live. And when the place you are living in is far from home, or it is the first time you have lived away from home, it’s even more important that a student home is comfortable for you.


We have made sure that our studios for students and houses offer you this comfort. Our properties are fully furnished and tastefully decorated. Furthermore, our Selly Oak student accommodation is spacious enough for you to stretch out a little and make the place your own.

 

Having a Landlord You Can Rely On

Making student accommodation good for the tenant can depend somewhat on the landlord. A good landlord that you can trust and is reliable is pretty crucial to getting the best out of living as a student. This is where Unihousing has the edge over others.




As a top-rated student letting agency in Selly Oak, we have been providing student accommodation in the area year after year that is both high-standard and affordable. Many of our tenants find us approachable and reliable, and we have a dedicated maintenance team which makes it super easy for us to take care of any problems that might happen to arise with your student property.

 

Good Amenities in the Local Area

Having everything you could need nearby is something that can make or break your experience at university. You are going to be living there for a while, during what is an important and sometimes pressurised period of your life, so you will want to know that nearby is everything you need.


Not only that, but it will be nice to know that the local area is somewhere that is fun for students to be. Luckily, Selly Oak ticks all of these boxes. Loaded with a selection of takeaways, Selly Oak is great for those quick yet irresistible student meals.


Selly Oak also boasts some restaurants for a delicious meal out, such as Parika Grill which specialises in mouth-watering Persian cuisine, the more upmarket Bohemia, and the old favourite Nando’s. As well as this, there are pubs in Selly Oak which are ideal for meeting up with your friends in the evening. It’s also got all the shops and supermarkets you should need during your time here, too.

You Should Choose Selly Oak Student Accommodation: Here’s Why

Choosing student accommodation is not exactly easy. If you’re a student looking for flats around the University of Birmingham that are to your liking or are a Birmingham student seeking accommodation that makes getting to the University a straightforward task, then going with Unihousing is ideal. We're the agents that are chosen for Selly Oak student accommodation time and time again.



And here is why Selly Oak student housing is a great option:


Public Transport

To start with, what can make a particular area such an attractive prospect to students contemplating renting accommodation there, depends on whether or not the area is well-served by public transport options. Not all students can drive or afford a car, so public transport becomes quite important for several reasons. Fortunately, Selly Oak is frequented by bus services and also features a well-positioned train station. From Selly Oak train station, you can head out to other parts of Birmingham including the City Centre.

 

Going for a Night Out

Selly Oak is also a great choice because it is ideal for going out locally for the evening to socialise and mix with others. You may not always want to go too far afield to get a break from things, and with Selly Oak’s pubs and club-life just a short distance from your student home, this will be possible. A simple way to get out at the end of the day, integrating into Selly Oak’s student community for a more rewarding student experience is one reason this place could be a good fit for you.

 


Types of Unihousing Accommodation

Student accommodation in Selly Oak is such an obvious option for any Birmingham student today because of the quality of available choices. And for these student accommodation options, it’s Unihousing that are the people to go to. We specialise in studios for students as well as houses to share and other university housing choices. From arranging a viewing at one of our properties, the overall quality and standards of the accommodation we provide will be immediately apparent. Spacious, attractively decorated and equipped with all of the furnishings a student should need day-to-day, Selly Oak accommodation with Unihousing gives you what you need.

 

Unihousing is a Landlord, not a Letting Agent

What also makes Unihousing stand out as a great provider of student accommodation is that we own all of our properties. This means that we have a reason to keep our properties well maintained, and to provide a fast and reliable repair/maintenance service. We have been helping students find accommodation for many years, and have built up a building up a track record of good service and reliability in the process.

 


Parks

Perhaps something easily overlooked, going to a park when you have a bit of spare time between studying and lectures could be brilliant for you if you decide to choose student accommodation in Selly Oak. At a short distance from where your student home is based, going to a green space in Selly Oak allows you to get some fresh air where you can relax in peace and quiet. Or why not get some exercise out in the open?

 

Local Amenities

Without question, amenities are a huge part of the decision-making process when it comes to choosing which student home you want to go for, as these are the places you will need to access to find the things you require regularly. Shops and supermarkets are pretty much the biggest part of amenities. Selly Oak is filled with shops and supermarkets- ones that are good for your budget too. It also has chemists, places to get a haircut and more. So, it’s something to consider when you’re thinking about which student studio, student apartment or other student accommodation to choose.

 


Choice of Cuisine

Whether you’re on your own or with friends, getting a good meal is not only something you need but is also something that can be a lot of fun too. The range of food on offer throughout Selly Oak is something that boosts its appeal, especially for students. For a start, there’s plenty of takeaways here. Although students won’t be eating takeaways all the time, there’s no denying the convenience and taste factor that chomping down on food from a local takeaway place brings. What’s more, Selly Oak is home to a collection of tempting restaurants too; from Nando’s to Persian cuisine you’re not short on student food choices in Selly Oak.
