Estate Agents and Accommodation Agency Information
The following is a list of Accommodation Agencies. We can
accept no responsibility for the accuracy of the
information contained. If you are using a Letting Agent
you should enquire as to whether the Agent is accredited
to the National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS). The Scheme
sets out defined minimum standards for residential
lettings and management that an estate agent who is a
member of NALS must provide, thus providing tenants with a
professional and regulated service. Furthermore we would
appreciate any feedback that students can provide
regarding any of these agencies or any others they may
have had dealings with.
