Student accommodation in Georgian Quarter, Liverpool

The city of Liverpool has seven ‘quarters’: the Georgian Quarter, Chinatown, Ropewalks, the Cavern Quarter, St George’s Quarter, the Baltic Triange, and Waterfront.

The Georgian Quarter is home to two stunning cathedrals and beautiful 18th-century architecture, and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. On the infamous Hope Street, you can find a wide selection of restaurants, bars, and pubs.

The close proximity to the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts and the Univerisity of Liverpool, as well as the wide selection of student accommodation in the Georgian Quarter means that the area is popular amongst students every year.

With five universities in the city, Liverpool has a lot of student areas to choose from. Students tend to choose to live in student houses in the Liverpool Georgian Quarter, Edge Hill, Kensington, Liverpool city centre, Smithdown Road and Wavertree.

The Georgian Quarter is a great place to live, with stunning surroundings, lots of culture, and plenty of hospitality venues to enjoy.

Many Georgian Quarter Liverpool student houses are now advertised with bills included in the price. Where this is the case, your rental price could include electricity, gas, internet, TV licence and water bills and this is clearly stated on the listing. Properties without bills included are also available, giving you the flexibility to choose your own energy and water suppliers and internet service provider.

It is normal for property managers to require you to pay a security deposit at the time of booking or before you move in. Where a deposit is required and you are signing a tenancy agreement, your property manager must protect your deposit in a legally recognised tenancy deposit scheme. As long as you look after the property and have no deductions for damage or unpaid rent, your deposit will be returned to you after your tenancy agreement ends. Whilst tenancy deposits are legally capped at five weeks' rent per person, it is more common for student deposits to be in the lower £100-250 range.

The majority of student accommodation in the Liverpool Georgian Quarter can be rented for fixed contract lengths. For purpose built student accommodation, 43 and 51-week fixed-term contracts are the most common. For shared houses, 52-week contracts are the most common and generally start in July to September.

Short-term student rentals in the Georgian Quarter are becoming more popular every year. As a result, property managers are increasingly offering shorter tenancy lengths, whether for the summer period or for individual semesters and terms. This is more common in the purpose-built student accommodation sector than in shared student rental houses across Liverpool.
