For Immediate Release
Raffaele Russo, founder of student lettings provider, Loc8me, said:
A-Level Results Day is a huge moment for students and their families, a mix of excitement, relief, and big decisions about their future. For some, it means securing their first-choice university; for others, it’s about navigating Clearing to find the right course. Either way, it’s the moment many start thinking seriously about where they’ll live, and how to make the start of university life as smooth as possible.
"This year, it comes with added pressure on the student accommodation market. With the Renters’ Rights Bill expected later this year, tenants, landlords and providers will need to adjust to new rules designed to improve protections and raise standards across the board.
"Despite concerns over supply and more students opting to live at home, the student accommodation market remains strong. However, students today are more selective when searching for modern homes that strike a balance between safety, comfort, and value. Starting the search early and knowing what to look for is more important than ever.
"At Loc8me, we’ve introduced our Seal of Approval so students can book with confidence, knowing the property meets clear quality and safety standards. We currently have over 7,580 bedrooms across 15 cities, from house shares to high-spec studios, so there’s something to suit every lifestyle and budget.
"Moving to university is an exciting step, and finding the right home plays a big role in making that transition smooth and stress-free."
