Are you a student in Southampton? Perhaps you’re looking for a student house for next year? You’ve come to the right place. This list of the best student letting agencies in Southampton is here to guide you into the process of letting privately for the first time. These agencies are experienced in catering for a wide variety of students with different budgetary and location needs, as well as the size of the house you are looking for.
1. IStudent Lets
Independent letting agencies are harder to come by in Southampton than other student cities, but IStudent Lets is proudly independent. They are very clear about their renting process (and, unusually, have a fixed deposit rate for all of their houses of £350) and common concerns are cleared up on their website. They are landlords to all of the properties that they oversee, which makes for faster responses to maintenance requests and more direct contact with your landlord. As standard, their properties come with double beds, fully-furnished and with smoke and carbon monoxide alarms for your peace of mind.

The agency is run by both universities in conjunction with Southampton City Council to provide a straightforward renting service to students. They have advice on all aspects of renting, and the added security means that disputes can be quickly resolved. They help groups and individuals find properties suited to their needs, including price and location. Also great for mixed-uni houses!

4. Accommodation For Students
As a collection of accommodation from different agencies, this place is a great resource for finding both housing and other agencies that might be able to help you in your search. They are a national company and come with experience in all areas of student letting. Although you won’t likely be renting directly through them, they are a great service for finding tricky categories of student housing – very small or very large houses, in a less popular area, for example. They also have a service where you can advertise either that you need an extra housemate or that you need a room, and they will match you up with suitable houses.
