Student Accommodation
Plymouth
Known as Britain's Ocean City, Plymouth has grown into a major academic hub that offers a vibrant coastal setting. For those studying at the University of Plymouth, Arts University Plymouth, or Plymouth Marjon University, finding the right base is essential for balancing academic demands with a high quality of life. While traditional student districts like Mutley, Greenbank, and Derriford are popular hubs for private housing, our properties are often positioned closer to the main campuses and the city centre. This strategic placement helps you save significant time and money on daily travel, as private HMOs in residential areas can often require longer commutes or reliance on public transport.
Choosing to live in purpose-built accommodation also offers a distinct advantage over staying at home or commuting from further afield. By living centrally, you avoid the daily travel that can drain your energy, allowing for full independence and a deeper immersion in campus life. You will be just moments away from lectures, the library, and social events, ensuring you never miss out on the experiences that define your university years.
Financial predictability is a core part of our offering, which is why your rent comes with all utility bills included*. This covers your essential utilities, typically including water, electricity, heating, and high-speed Wi-Fi, providing you with a clear budget from day one. In the private rental market, utility costs can be unpredictable, and caps may rise unexpectedly, but our model ensures you are protected from these fluctuating expenses. Please note that while core utilities are covered, this does not include non-utility items such as council tax.
We prioritise the safety of our residents through a professional management approach that offers much more than a standard private let. Our buildings feature onsite teams, comprehensive CCTV coverage, and secure key fob entry systems to ensure a protected environment. We also provide secure parcel collection services, so deliveries are never left unattended. Unlike many private HMOs, where maintenance response times can vary depending on individual landlords, our responsive onsite maintenance teams are available to handle any issues quickly and efficiently.
While private houses can sometimes feel isolated unless you are already moving in with a large group of friends, our Plymouth properties are designed to foster connection. We focus on building a stronger community through dedicated communal lounges, study rooms, and even onsite gyms or cinema rooms. These superior amenities provide natural spaces to meet new people and relax. To make life even simpler, our residents use KLIQ, our dedicated app, to book social spaces, log maintenance requests, and receive instant notifications when a parcel arrives.
Plymouth is a welcoming destination for students from all over the world, and we specialise in providing a soft landing for those moving from abroad. Our teams are experienced in helping international students settle into UK life, offering guidance on local logistics and ensuring a smooth move-in process. Our diverse calendar of events and shared social spaces are specifically designed to help you build connections quickly, combatting the isolation that can sometimes come with moving to a new country and ensuring you feel at home from the moment you arrive.
