It may seem a little too early to start looking for student accommodation in Chester for next year but now is the time to start looking for the right property. We know that Christmas is fast approaching and it is a busy time of year. Everyone is distracted by Christmas nights out, shopping and finalising assignments before heading home for the Christmas break but don’t put it off. 

Whether you are in student halls at the moment or in a house share now is the time to start thinking about your requirements for next year. You may feel as though you’ve only just unpacked but time will fly and the highest standard student accommodation is often snapped up quickly by organised, savvy students. 

If you have a strict budget to stick to or have very specific criteria it is even more important that you don’t delay your search. At Matthew’s we are specialists in the student property market, we know Chester inside out so if you know what you want but can’t find it then come and speak to us. We will be able to discuss your wish list and your budget with you and might save you lots of time looking at unsuitable properties that really aren’t a match. We will also be able to advise you if your expectations are unrealistic, although on a positive note the choice of student accommodation in Chester really does offer something for everyone. There are stylish apartments, large period properties to accommodate bigger groups of friends and lots of well equipped terraces some of which are surprisingly spacious.

If you wish to stay in your current student house for the next academic year make sure that you have discussed this with everyone involved including your housemates, landlord and letting agent. Don’t assume you can stay without checking as you could be very disappointed if you find out nearer the time that your landlord has other plans for next year or some of your house mates are considering a student house share in a different area. 

If you are graduating this year and intend to stay in Chester to work or to pursue postgraduate studies it is still advisable to start looking sooner rather than later. We have helped lots of students make the transition to a professional house share and are always adding new instructions to our available rental properties.

If you haven’t called us yet get in touch. We are the ONLY LICENCED ARLA student letting agent in the city – which means you are guaranteed an excellent service and can rest assured that we comply with their rules and regulations. Speak to as soon as possible to get your search off on the right track.
