Our Process

A calm, structured way to choose accommodation.

We shortlist based on your university location, budget, safety preferences, and lifestyle — then help you decide with confidence.

01

Needs & Budget

Room type, privacy, commuting tolerance, safety needs, and monthly budget (with realistic add-ons).

02

Shortlist & Comparisons

Compare options side-by-side: distance, costs, bills, contract terms, and facility quality.

03

Due Diligence

We flag risks: hidden charges, scams, unclear deposits, and “too good to be true” listings.

04

Move-In & Settle

Move-in checklist, essentials, and settling tips so your first weeks aren’t chaos.

FAQ

Common questions.

Answers that stop you from making expensive mistakes.

When should I book accommodation?

As soon as your intake and destination are confirmed. Good options go fast near universities.

Should I book before my visa is approved?

We usually recommend options with flexible cancellation terms, depending on your visa timeline and destination.

How do I avoid scams?

Never send money without verified details, legitimate contracts, and clear proof of listing/management. We help flag red flags.

What if I want to change later?

We’ll help you understand lease break clauses and recommend a realistic “first landing” option if needed.
