Private rentals and student letting agents
If student halls are not your ideal choice or if you’re seeking more independence, London has many letting agents ready to help you secure a student house share or flat share, either by yourself or part of a group.
Consider exploring options on the outskirts of Greater London, where living costs may be considerably lower. While this can be a cost-effective solution, remember to factor in any additional transportation expenses associated with your chosen location. Opting for a shared flat or house can reduce your weekly living costs, providing flexibility to select properties that align with your budget.
Some letting agents prefer group applications. Get in touch with us to meet fellow Confetti freshers you can connect with. Once you’ve formed a group, approach local student letting agents to explore your options. While we’ve listed some below, remember that there are numerous agents to choose from, ensuring you find the perfect place to call home during your time at Confetti.
Consider reputable agencies like:
Homestay – International Students
Homestay accommodation offers a ‘home within a home.’ Live with a British family to benefit from a supportive environment, enhance your English proficiency, and enjoy a safe and secure place to stay. Choose from single or shared rooms, bed and breakfast, or self-catering options across various London locations.
Below, you’ll find information about various providers. For additional details and booking instructions, please reach out to them directly*.
