Still looking for 2026 – 2027 Student Houses? Don’t panic! Orange Student Properties are here to help…

If you’re still looking for a student house, you’re definitely not alone. Many students reach this point in the year meaning to get organised but finding it hard to know where to start—or how quickly they really need to move.

This blog isn’t about panic. It’s just a friendly nudge to help you get things sorted while there are still good options available.

There ARE still student houses out there

While a lot of student properties have already been taken, there are still houses available. The key difference now is that they tend to move more quickly, so having a plan can make the process much smoother and less stressful.

Starting now gives you the chance to:

• See what’s realistically available

• Compare a few options

• Choose a place you feel comfortable with

• Avoid last-minute rushing later on

It’s worth acting soon

Looking for a house doesn’t have to take over your life, but leaving it too long can make things more complicated. As the year progresses, everyone gets busier with exams, work, and summer plans, which can make organising viewings harder.

By taking a bit of time now, you give yourself:

• More flexibility with viewings

• Time to ask questions and read contracts properly

• Confidence about where you’ll be living next year

Now that you have your group together a little planning helps

You have now got the group you’d like to live with sorted but now is a good time to check in with each other. Agreeing on budgets, locations, and expectations now can save a lot of stress later.

Simple conversations now can help your group:

• Narrow down suitable properties

• Avoid misunderstandings

• Make decisions together without pressure

Small steps make a big difference

Things that you now need to decide on if you haven’t already:

• Confirm who you’ll be living with

• Set a realistic budget range

• Start browsing listings regularly

• Book viewings when something looks promising

• Ask questions if you’re unsure

Taking these steps gradually can make the whole process feel far more manageable.

You’ve found a house you like

Here at Orange Student Properties we say: if you’ve found a house you like – Go For It!

If you’ve already viewed a property that works for you, it’s okay to take a little time to think—but it’s also sensible to follow up sooner rather than later. Good student houses don’t stay available for long, if you like it the likelihood is that someone else will too! Securing a student house can give you real peace of mind and enable you to focus on what matters right now.

Final Thought

Finding a student house is a big decision, and it’s normal to feel unsure at times. The aim isn’t to rush—it’s to be prepared.

A bit of action now can save you stress later and help you head into the rest of the year knowing your accommodation is sorted.

Take it one step at a time—you’ve got this. And Orange Student Properties are here to help whether you rent a property with us or not, just call our office number and we’ll be happy to have a chat and offer advice.
