Manchester student accommodation Didsbury

The area is very convenient, with a large supermarket, a market and several chain shops in the centre.

Things to note
If you are renting off-campus, it is recommended that you visit the property on site. If you do not have time to view the property yourself, you should also ask a friend or acquaintance to help you view the Manchester student apartments property and ask them to take photos and send them to you to confirm the overall condition of the property. Sometimes there are differences between the real situation and the pictures, so don't let this be a factor in your rental. In short, it's better to look at the property in advance to be prepared.
When signing a rental contract, there are a number of things that you should be aware of. First of all, the contract must be provided by a proper law firm. A contract provided by the landlord himself or Manchester student accommodation downloaded from the internet does not have any legal effect. Generally speaking, a proper rental contract in the UK will be marked with a reference to the solicitor's firm. It can be difficult for Chinese students to understand a contract in full English, especially if there are legal terms involved, so make sure you understand the contract completely before you sign it. If you don't understand anything after reading the contract, ask the landlord right away and mark all these questions in the contract to avoid any disputes when you check out.
In order to save some money on living expenses, many international students find a roommate to share the rent with when they rent an apartment. However, most students will be living under the same roof with strangers unless they have a buddy to go with them, so it is also crucial that you find a compatible roommate. It is advisable to meet your flatmates before you share a room, to get to know each other's habits, personalities and working hours, and to communicate the do's and don'ts that you need to follow during the sharing period to avoid conflicts later on in life.
