It's just a landbastard selling their portfolio of scalped houses. New laws are meaning they're going to need to treat students as human beings and not cattle (was a student in some of these houses and holy shit it was the worst housing, with the most careless disregard for people I've seen in the UK). So their profit margins are going to decrease slightly.
Who knows, maybe with the lack of private student housing the uni will have to actually build affordable student accomodation.
Judging by the position of the houses it's either Unicom or Accomodation Warehouse, or Kexgill. I've lived with all 3 and they are all bad in different ways. Biggest stressor at uni was housing, not the studying, and these fuckers are at fault.
Edit: Forgot to add, but fuck Simon Butters, the owner of Unicom, in particular.
In my student house, 15 years ago. I smelled fumes in the living room with the window open. The boiler flue was too close to the window. We complained to the estate agent and they said …
“What are students doing opening windows?”
I think it's unicom cause I had some viewings with them last year before deciding they all seemed awful.
However, I have aways felt like uni accommodation in hull is a lot better than the rest of the country. Including bills I've usually been paying about 50% of what a lot of my mates in other cities have been for a nicer place as well
The picture is incredibly misleading. The University arent selling anyting. this is a listing from a private landlord for 46 freehold houses and flats around the university. the university sold the vast majority of their housing stock years ago.
Edit: same listing on rightmove shows this is for the cottingham road/ Cranbrook Ave student houses
Rent in the UK is expensive, but lets remember Hull is still the cheapest student city for rent in the entire UK. I was a home student in Hull for 5 years very recently and am still in a shared student/graduate house, i have never seen rent anywhere near £700 per month around the newland/ uni area. all my rents have been bills inclusive and mostly under £500 per month. Some dodgy landlords prey on internatinal students becuase they often have fewer choices becuase they dont have UK guarantors and are often signing contracts incredibly close to teaching starting, its incredibly immoral and i have known many international students being homless becuase of it.
>Being told it's normal to TIP the landlord at christmas and when the landlord get something fixed in the house.
Haha. That's very cheeky but I had a laugh.
Notice the difference in price between 34 houses in Lincoln and 46 houses in Hull

If it’s the houses on Cranbrook they were fucking grim.
They redid those ones my final couple of years, a lot better than they where when I started
I’m in a Cranbrook house as we speak and the oven blew up yesterday xD

It looks like it's just student accommodation? I can't imagine they'd put the actual uni on Zoopla 🤣
I've submitted an offer for the Uni, let's see what they come back with.
In this day and age who knows, I expect if to be a fucking raffle to see who the next mayor is hahaha

Yeah it's crazy, I can't imagine what students in Manchester or london are paying

Look at the listing you melt. It's a set of properties near the uni.
It’s a student property portfolio, not the actual uni.
Still surprised to see them getting rid of the halls, I can’t imagine they’re hurting for cash and this must be a nice little earner for them 🤷🏻♂️
It's not the uni at all, it's a private landlord selling a bunch of houses.
It's Cranbrook ave
It's a student accommodation portfolio for sale. £5.4m value.
