WIth Greater Manchester home to four universities and Manchester city home to two, it’s easy to see how Manchester has so many options for students looking to rent. Whether you’re looking to rent on your own or with a large group of friends, it can be very confusing with such a huge amount of choice. So these are some of the best and most popular student letting agencies in Manchester – whatever you’re looking for this year.
1. Jupiter
Although on the smaller side of Manchester student lettings, Jupiter advertise houses in a variety of sizes and rental costs. Their website displays plenty of positive reviews for ease, convenience and their inclusive bills package. What is more reassuring is the occasional presence of 3 and 4 star reviews – no agency is perfect and it is good to see this honesty displayed so openly. Experience-wise, they have a expert team already ready to help with student housing queries.

2. Manchester Student Homes
MSH is an agency sponsored by five universities and higher education establishments in and around Manchester, including MMU and UoM. This means that they come with the added benefit of having been vetted by the university with trusted agents and landlords. They also offer advice for prospective and current tenants, as well as a landlord accreditation scheme that can help settle disputes and give you peace of mind when renting. They can signpost you to properties that meet a wide range of needs, including location and cost.

3. House Manchester
House Manchester deal with only three landlords, whose lifelong connections to Manchester are detailed on their website. The obvious bonus to this is landlords that know the student areas of Manchester (particularly Fallowfield) well and know what students want and need. They have been operating for 15 years and have all the experience of former UoM students. They list properties from between 1 and 10 beds, at a range of rental costs and without agency fees, which is admittedly rare for student letting agencies.

Increasingly common in the student rental market are letting agents that work entirely online. Student Haus is one such agent, specialising in HMO lettings for larger groups. You can contact them via their website or email with some criteria for your group and they will be in touch with houses that might be suited to your needs. Their website has a wealth of information about dealing with an online agent and, while it might sound daunting, it has the added bonus of being easily accessible and useable by students across a much greater area of Manchester than an office.
