Frequently Asked Questions

Will UNA Student be more expensive than my current arrangement?

We doubt it, our letting and management fees are competitive. We have a joined up approach which means managing inside the student pods, in the communal areas, and to the structure - this is why a 'joined up' approach is critical.

Am I locked into a long-term contract?

Not at all. We offer flexible terms designed to give you confidence, not constraints. You're free to exit if you're not satisfied.

What is included in your service?

Marketing, tenancy management, rent collection, maintenance, compliance, inspections, and monthly landlord reporting.

How do you market my pod?

Through major UK platforms, overseas student agents, multilingual outreach, and university partnerships.
We can make a dedicated page on https://UnaStudent.co for your building, for example: https://unastudent.co/liverpool

What makes you different from other agents?

We manage the building, your pod, and operations under one umbrella. As RICS-regulated surveyors and strategic asset managers, we deliver a fully integrated service and drive value.

How are maintenance and repairs handled?

Via trusted contractors and on-site staff. All issues are logged and resolved.

Who deals with late rent or difficult tenants?

We have an arrears team who chase rents by SMS (text message) and email twice weekly, we simultaneously chase tenants and their guarantors. Depending on where the tenant is coming from and what security they offer, rent is often collected in advance and accounted to you over the period of the tenancy.

Will I receive reports or statements?

Yes. As well as financial reports, on appointment and before reletting, we will carry out a 'property MOT' a pre-let check to see what (if anything) needs doing to spruce up your property so it feels fresh and appealing for a new tenant to move in.

Can I visit or speak to someone on-site?

Sure, we attend all viewings and on most sites put staff on site

We're Pleased to meet you!
