Compare UK rents

Comparison on UK rents based on Save the Student’s ‘The National Student Accommodation Survey 2023’ which surveyed 1,869 people in the UK between 1st December 2022 – 23rd January 2023. 

*In these instances, there were not enough respondents (or too many significant outliers) to give a reliable average. As an indicative amount, we have used the average rent for each university's region.
