Property Standards and Facilities - The Essentials

It is in your best interests to have your property maintained to a high standard, not only to benefit the students, but also to increase your chances of letting your property.

A property should include: central heating, telephone points, washing machine, fridge-freezer, and shower.

Five-six bedroom properties will also have specific requirements for recent HMO legislation and details are available from Worcester City Council: www.worcester.gov.uk

Students are also looking at the state of the decoration, carpets and furnishings of properties, as well as the quality of the kitchens and bathrooms. For most students the study bedroom is also very important and therefore there is a need for a study desk and chair and heating and Internet access in each bedroom.
