application process

When will properties be advertised? 

  • We advertise properties for 25/26 academic year between March and June.
  • Properties are advertised when the current tenants inform us they are leaving. We are therefore unable to give any indication of what properties will be available or when they will be advertised.

How will properties be advertised?

  • We will post a message on Facebook and to our email alerts subscribers the day before a property is advertised to give prospective applicants time to decide if they wish to apply for that property before applications open.
  • This message will specify the time the property will be advertised on our website - i.e. the time applications open.

How to apply for a property

  • As soon as a property is marked ‘available’ on our website - applications are open!
  • If your group wishes to apply for a viewing of the property, please email a fully completed application form to alex@lawsonthompson.co.uk (do not attach using Microsoft Sharepoint or Google Drive).

How to be notified of new property availability

What happens after you apply

  • We shall email the lead tenant of 5 groups with details of a viewing appointment. These 5 groups are chosen at random from the applications received within 1 hour of the advert going live.
  • Following the viewing, we ask you confirm your wish to proceed by 9am the following morning. We shall then liaise with the landlord and let you know if your application has been successful.
  • At this point we will ask the lead tenant of the successful group to send us a reference, guarantor and copy of matriculation card for each tenant.
