Specialists in Student Letting Services
Letting to students can be one of the most rewarding routes for landlords, but it also comes with unique responsibilities. At Nicholas Humphreys, we’re specialists in student property management, helping landlords maximise rental income while staying fully compliant with regulations.
Why let to students?
Student accommodation offers strong and consistent demand year-round. With new intakes each academic cycle, landlords benefit from:
Reliable occupancy near universities and colleges
Attractive yields compared with standard lets
Flexible tenancy arrangements aligned with academic timetables
Group lets for easier management and fewer void periods
Our local experts understand exactly what attracts students, from high-speed Wi-Fi and stylish furnishings to convenient locations near campus and vibrant social scenes. We’ll help you prepare your property to appeal to them.
Regulations for letting to students
Compliance is essential when renting to students. Our team stays up to date with all letting regulations, including:
- HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) licensing
- Gas and electrical safety certificates
- Deposit protection and tenancy agreements
- Fire safety and furniture standards
We’ll ensure your property meets every legal requirement before it’s marketed, giving you complete peace of mind.
