One of the regular features we return to on the Private Halls blog is the impressive quality of residential halls for students that are available. However, from some recent coverage in the national press it may appear that most of the luxury private halls are found in London but that is not strictly speaking the case.

As we have highlighted previously on the pages of Private Halls, growing demand from students means some will face a severe shortage of private student rental accommodation. This has been brought home to us by a survey carried out by a student website which reveals that another issue facing students is that landlords are increasingly opting to let their properties to young professionals.

With students beginning or returning to their university careers, some people may believe that private halls for students are just aimed at wealthy young people. Here at the Private Halls we cannot stress enough that this is not the case and there’s a wide range of rents and properties available for students who want to live in a private halls of residence.

It’s the busiest time of year for student landlords and accommodation providers with growing demand for private student halls of residence. With many students now finding courses through clearing, others are facing the prospect of having to find suitable student accommodation by themselves.

With the growing number of private student halls of residence now available in the UK there’s also been a rise in people’s expectations of what student accommodation should be. While the parents of today’s students may remember their university days, particularly in a halls of residence, as involving cramped study bedrooms, cold corridors and having to queue for the bathroom.
