Student Flats

Unihousing provides several different forms of student accommodation in Selly Oak, one of which are student flats. Flats offer a student a fantastic space of their own at which they can thrive during their time at university. The location of all our student flats are in Selly Oak and are only a moments’ walk from the Edgbaston campus at the University of Birmingham.

The following is an example of one of Unihousing student flats. Each flat is fully refurbished on a yearly basis providing a fresh and clean look to each and every place.

So what makes a flat better than a house, or a studio? Each property type has its own pros and cons, and all students will have a different criteria as to what they are looking for. A flat provides the privacy of a studio while still providing room for guests.

One way Unihousing helps to put your mind at ease when renting accommodation is by owning all of its property. This should help to instil confidence in tenants by showing that Unihousing has a desire to maintain and develop their property to keep them as modern and fresh as possible. It also has the bonus of speeding up requests and questions which come to the office. This is because the Unihousing team do not have to consult another exterior party/team before signing off on repairs, new parts or new appliances.

All of Unihousing's accommodation comes fully fitted and our flats are the same, starting with the kitchen students will find a nice open space to do their cooking and cleaning. A fridge freezer, microwave, and hob are all provided as part of the furnishings. The kitchen will often also house a washer and dryer to allow you to clean clothes with ease.

Students can also find a separate desk area with a chair and some open space that provides the ideal place to relax and unwind after a long day or get stuck into some further revision.

The key difference between a flat and a studio is the bedroom. In a studio this room is combined with the living area into one larger area where and a flat will have two separate rooms for each, this provides another aspect of privacy when having friends and family around. All bedrooms come with a double bed and mattress, with some form of storage, usually a wardrobe to store clothes and belongings.

Finally, every student flat comes with its own personal toilet and shower room. For some students, this may be a pleasant welcome if they had been previously sharing bathrooms.

All our flats to let in Selly Oak have central heating, smoke detectors, fire doors, burglar alarms, washing machines, fridge freezers, annual decorating, modern furniture and appliance maintenance as standard.

Students from across the globe come to the University of Birmingham every year. The hunt for the ideal accommodation is fierce and it’s important to get yourself ahead of the game and secure your property as early as possible.
