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!

Considering its fab location in relation to the city centre and the University of Sheffield, it's no surprise that Crookesmoor is the most popular area by miles for Sheffield student accommodation this 2026-27 letting season. And when we say by miles, we mean it – Crookesmoor has had more than double the amount of searches than Broomhill (the next most popular area) so far this letting season!

Other popular spots include the Ecclesall Road area and Crookes, so if you're after a student house in any of the neighbourhoods we've mentioned then you're better off starting your search sooner than later as to avoid missing out.

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.
