You\u2019ll need to weigh the pros and cons of every decision and act fast to secure yourself a good flat. But worry not, I and so many other students have gone through this process and emerged (mostly) unscathed and with the right attitude and action plan, and so will you!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tips that will help you with organisation and setting your priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, manage your expectations! Being too perfectionistic about the flat search will likely end in finding nothing at all \u2013 or something for a price well-exceeding a student budget. Tiny kitchen, no living room or commuting to campus \u2013 chances are that you\u2019ll have to compromise on something.<\/p>\n<p>Making a list of deal breakers early on will help you sift through the offers (if you still haven\u2019t, you\u2019ll soon find out just how exhausting browsing properties can get). Most people team up for flat search with other students so being clear on each other\u2019s requirements is a definite must if you want to avoid serious disagreements. It\u2019s by no means an exhaustive list, but here are some things that you might want to think through:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Double- vs single-glazed windows. <\/strong>Cold and rainy weather and single-glazed windows don\u2019t go together well, but, unfortunately, this is the reality for a lot of London flats. Make your decision wisely as even if the rent is cheap you might end up paying the difference in bills because of the poor isolation. That said, single-glazed windows are not the end of the world \u2013 investing in thermal curtains (or asking your landlord to provide them &#8211; always worth a try) can help a lot with keeping the cold out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Floors \u2013 carpets or wood?<\/strong> It may not seem like a key factor at a first glance, but it\u2019s in fact a significant decision. On one hand, carpeted floors make the flat cosier and muffle stomping, though on the other hand, they\u2019re also much harder to keep clean, so watch out for old flats that haven\u2019t been recently refurbished.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The number of bathrooms.<\/strong> Sharing the bathroom with other flatmates is generally something you\u2019ll have to come to terms with, but if there\u2019s three or more of you, it\u2019s a good idea to have two bathrooms\/toilets. Again, it\u2019s best to discuss with your future flatmates whether they tend to take long showers or plan to often invite people over.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>UK guarantor.<\/strong> It\u2019s worth mentioning that non-UK students are usually required to pay six months of rent upfront as they usually don\u2019t have a UK guarantor. This can amount to a very high number for your first payment but there\u2019s no avoiding it in most cases so do plan for that too. One way around is the College rent guarantee scheme \u2013 check it out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imperial.ac.uk\/study\/campus-life\/accommodation\/private-accommodation\/private-housing\/found-somewhere\/references-and-guarantors\/\">here<\/a> along with plenty of other resources on private housing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Negotiating the tenancy conditions with the landlord or agency can be exhausting and you might be tempted to complete the process as promptly as possible but remember to always prioritise renting safely and securely. Landlords\/agents might urge you to sign the contract quickly and pressure you to accept a longer fixed tenancy, however, it\u2019s important to be assertive and only agree to what YOU want. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions and clarify any confusion before returning the signed contract. And the same goes for the rest of your tenancy \u2013 send a request to your agent\/landlord if there\u2019s something that needs to be fixed or resolved.<\/p>\n<p>Although finding a flat that fulfils your requirements is not easy, ultimately, it\u2019s worth the effort as this will be your accommodation for another year or so. Plan ahead to not get too overwhelmed and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll be fine!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re heading towards the end of your first year at Imperial, you\u2019re probably starting to think about your accommodation for the next year.
