Find accommodation at your own pace

Whether you’re just starting to think about your housing plans or you’re ready to compare your options, the Accommodation Fair gives you the chance to browse information, speak directly with accommodation providers and pick up plenty of freebies, giveaways and competition prizes along the way.

There is absolutely no obligation to sign up for a property or tenancy on the day. You should only begin your accommodation search when you’re ready, and make sure you’re completely confident in a property before signing a contract.

Advice on the Renters’ Rights Act

Liverpool Student Homes staff will be available to provide information and guidance on the new Renters’ Rights Act, which came into force on 1 May and affects anyone living in private rented accommodation, including students.

The legislation introduces important changes to tenants’ rights, including how rent is paid, tenancy agreements and ending a tenancy. If you’re planning to rent privately next year, this is an excellent opportunity to learn how the changes could affect you.

Meet accredited accommodation providers

Only accommodation providers accredited by Liverpool Student Homes are invited to attend the fairs.

Accreditation demonstrates that providers and their properties meet the quality and safety standards set out in the LSH Standards. Newly accredited properties are also inspected by the Liverpool Student Homes Standards Officer, giving you extra reassurance when searching for safe and reliable accommodation.

You can find out more about the accreditation scheme on the Liverpool Student Homes website.

Free housing advice

As well as meeting accommodation providers, you can speak to LSH advisers about any housing-related questions, from finding accommodation and understanding contracts to tenant rights and housing concerns.

Liverpool Student Homes is a free, impartial student support service supported by the University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Liverpool Guild of Students, John Moores Students’ Union and Liverpool Hope Students’ Union.

So, whether you’re actively searching for your next home or simply exploring your options, come along, get trusted advice and make informed decisions about where you’ll live next year.
