How Seekers support students throughout their rental journey

As one of the leading student letting agencies in Newcastle, we understand that we have a duty of responsibility and care to our landlords in Newcastle, but most importantly to the students in Newcastle looking to rent a property with us. 

The world of rental properties and student flatshares can be very confusing. But that’s why we offer support to our students throughout their whole tenancy.

Wondering how we can help you? Read on to find out more.

Why our students matter to us

Initially, renting a property can be a daunting experience — especially if you’ve never been through the process before. If you’re an international student in Newcastle for the first time, it can be even more difficult to know where to start.

At Seekers, we believe that every student should have a place they can call home in one of our wonderful Newcastle locations. Whether you’re looking for a flatshare close to campus or an all-inclusive bills package just for yourself, we can help you find just what you’re looking for.

Our student advice hub

If you’re looking for a go-to place for information about student accommodation in Newcastle, look no further than our Advice Hub. We’ve been working with students in Newcastle for over 20 years now, so we like to think that we have a pretty good idea of what you’re looking for and the things you may struggle with when you start your renting journey.

At Seekers, we take student housing seriously. Part of this responsibility is to provide you with authentic and honest housing advice which you can find in our Student Hub. After all, we only want what’s best for you and your future student property.

From guides on how to look after your well-being when living alone to advice on decorating your student flat, no topic is off the cards.

Bills packages for students

We understand that one of the most stressful things about moving property is getting to grips with countless new bills and direct debits. After seeing the struggles and taking in the feedback from many students over the years, we thought — why not fix it?

Before you start your tenancy with us, we offer to set up your utility bills for you in the form of an all-inclusive bills package. Yep, we’ll take away all that stress in exchange for a small monthly fee depending on your property size.

Our team will lease with utility companies on your behalf, and we’ll have everything you need ready for your move-in date. We’re talking internet, water, energy, and a TV licence. The only thing you need to do? Send us regular meter readings to ensure appropriate energy usage, and we’ll do the rest. Take a look at our properties to find out which of our rentals come with an all-inclusive bills package. 

Consistent support throughout your tenancy period

As well as supporting you at the start and end of your tenancy, we’re also on hand for rental advice and assistance in between. 

We’re able to do this as we work closely on behalf of our student landlords to provide you with the best renting experience possible in Newcastle, so any issues or queries will be resolved as quickly as possible by our team.

Also, if you have a property maintenance issue to report, you can easily do this through our PropertyFile reporting system and our team will be on hand to provide you with the assistance you need. 

Don’t forget that we also have an emergency out-of-hours number, 0772 950 734, for any emergencies.
