Frequently Asked Questions

Sheffield students usually start their property search in early October, with demand hitting its peak in November. The sooner you start looking, the more likely you are to find the perfect student house for you as the market in Sheffield moves quickly.

On the UniHomes website, the average price for 2026-27 student houses and apartments in Sheffield falls at around £136.74 per person per week – including utility bills!

So far in the 2026-27 letting season, some of the most popular spots have proven to be Broomhill, the Ecclesall Road area and Crookes (with Eccy Road and Crookes fighting for third place). But it’s Crookesmoor that tops the charts here, having had more than double the amount of interest than Broomhill has had so far this season.

It's the 4-bedroom student houses in Sheffield that have proved to be the most popular on the UniHomes site for the 2026-27 letting season, followed by 5-bed and then 3-bed properties. Considering that the 2025-26 letting season also saw 4-beds, 5-beds, and 3-beds fly off the shelves (so to speak), we think it's safe to say that the students of Sheffield are a social bunch who love living with their mates.
