We strongly recommend you read all of this section, because asking someone to live with you without much thought, has
the potential to make your live out life more challenging!
Friends
Hopefully this is the start of a fun house-sharing adventure! More friends means you will have more choices of who to live with. Do you want to live in a mixed gender house? Smaller houses often suit established friendship groups looking to become housemates. Think about this now, because houses in Leamington for next year are marketed from around 1 November. The best houses usually go first, so ask someone to decide quickly on whether they want to live with you. The largest student letting agency in Leamington usually lets around 70% of its properties by Christmas!
Deposit/No Deposit and Upfront Annual Rent
Want to pay a months rent as a deposit, when you sign the agreement? Some purpose built student accommodation require students to pay the whole of their annual rent before the start of the tenancy.
No deposit and no upfront annual rent on our tenancies!
Budget
Will your friends stay the course? Can they pay the level of rent you want to pay or do they have a completely different budget from you? Will they pay their rent share on time? A share of rent paid late could affect everyone's future landlord reference. Does everyone have a suitable guarantor?
Your shared expenses budget. Does someone want to leave the heating on all day, shower for 15 minutes twice a day and always uses the tumble dryer instead of drying clothes outside on a sunny day? Bill arguments aren't fun!
There could be additional expenses or restrictions in large purpose built student accommodation, such as washing machine, tumble dryer or car parking charges. There may be only single beds, it may be challenging to hold a get together or there may be restrictions on guests staying over night.

Size of Group
Smaller groups often have fewer problems than larger groups. Groups of four students have the greatest choice of properties in Leamington. There are far more properties for groups of 4, compared to any other group size.
