Can you help me find an affordable student house to live in?
We can assist students over the age of 18 to find accommodation in and around the
Southend-on-Sea area.
What type of accommodation is available and what will it cost?
Shared houses and flats are available to rent from between £250 and £350 per calendar
month. All of the houses within the scheme are quality checked and are required
to comply with relevant local and National health and safety and planning regulations.
In addition to rent, tenants are also required to pay a deposit (fully returnable
subject to inspection of rented property), a legal and administration fee and advance
rent for one month.
Do you have to pay Council Tax as a student?
Full-time students are not required to pay Council Tax. You will, however, have
to register your exemption from this tax. Visit Learner Support Services and we
will assist you with this process.
Where can you get more information about accommodation for students?
The Accommodation Officer can be found in Learner Support Services which is at the Luker Road Southend-On-Sea and can be found on the ground floor, through
lift lobby.
