Shared houses for current students

• Think about your budget. Remember, most house rents don’t include bills. Bills are now on average £15 - £20 per person per week, so make sure you factor this in. You can get a quote for your household bills through The Student Energy Group.
• When the housing list is published, have a look at the options available to you. Houses for ‘group bookings’ have to be booked as a whole when you have formed a group of the right size (i.e. 4 people in a 4 bed). Houses for ‘individual bookings’ can be filled up one room at a time by individual students.
• Each house has a photo album and a floor plan. Have a look at these and decide which room you'd like.
• We recommend forming a shortlist of a few houses you’d be happy to book - don’t rest your hopes on just one!

• If you’re booking with a group, nominate a group leader. That group leader will be the one submitting the application for the house so they need to be available when bookings open. Please ensure that person knows the full names and student numbers of their group members.

• Booking forms are found at the bottom of the housing list. Use the form appropriate for you. You will find more details on how to apply on the form.

• If you already live in an university-managed hall or Brookes Lettings house, make sure your rent payments are up to date as we cannot offer new tenancies if you have outstanding debts.

• When bookings open, complete the online form for your preferred house size. The links will be available on this page and on the housing list page. If you are a group, only the group leader needs to complete the form.
• You'll be able to tell us your favourite house and also select up to four back-up options. We will then contact you within 2 working days to notify you of the result.
• If you are a group, the group leader will then be asked to assign a room in the house to each group member. You'll need to know your housemates' names and student numbers.
• Everyone will then be contacted individually with a specific room offer and asked to accept it via the Accommodation Portal.
• We can only offer a short deadline for you to accept your contract so please ensure you check your emails regularly if you have recently applied for a house.

See the Accommodation Fees webpage for information on how to pay, when to pay and how much to pay.

On this page you will find the Brookes Lettings instalment calculator which will show you the instalment breakdowns. The calculator will state which year's prices are being advertised and are correct at the time of publication.

Current students should always refer to their Accommodation Portal account for the most up to date information.
