Starting university is difficult enough without worrying about where you’re going to live next year. There are plenty of things to check for when looking at properties to rent, and most of us are too busy with life or studies to think about safety certificates and fire alarms.

Luckily, we’ve taken the stress out of the situation by creating the Smart Moves property guide. We’ve explained the essential contractual or safety features of private rented properties and included exactly what you need to know, and nothing more.

We’ve also created the Smart Moves House Viewing Checklist to go along with the guide. You can use the Checklist to record important information about each place you view. When you’ve finished viewing properties, you’ll have the information you need ready to help you make your decision.

We hope you find Smart Moves useful and wish you the best of luck in your studies.
