This has been the theme suggested by Birmingham University on the subject of student housing in Selly Oak every year that we can remember. For those students looking for accommodation for next year they tell you not to rush, indeed in many cases they say "leave it until the New Year".
One short story tells the tale of one girl who adhered to Birmingham University's advice not to rush when she was looking for a student house in Selly Oak.
A couple of years ago, on the first day back at Uni in January she went into one of the local estate agents and all she wanted was a 5 bed house but the minimum criteria was that the house had to have 2 bathrooms.
When I saw her she was sitting there in tears having been told that all the 5 bed 2 bathroom houses had gone before Christmas. I asked her why she had left it so late to look and she told me the housing department at the University had told her so.
The bottom line is this: if you are looking for student accommodation in Selly Oak for next year follow the 3 point plan.
1. discuss with your friends how many people you want to live with.
2. set your upper budget for price.
3. check out our Unipads website for houses of your chosen size and price and select up to a maximum of 5 to view.
We will then show you our superb houses, all in Selly Oak, and you can select the one that you like the best.
You do not have to take our word for it but please believe us when we tell you that THE BEST HOUSES ALWAYS GO FIRST".
