Our Approach
We Help Students Secure the Right Housing.
Search & Booking Support
We Search the Market and Utilise Our Local Network
Our accommodation search service helps you find and secure suitable housing efficiently. We conduct a comprehensive search across multiple platforms, leveraging our network and technology to match you with the best available options. This service is charged at 4% of the total rent amount (inclusive of VAT) and is only payable once we successfully secure your accommodation.
Our SolutionsSecurity Tools
We Secure Before You Pay
With international students being prime targets for rental scams, we provide essential security services to protect you. Our landlord verification service (€20, VAT inclusive) ensures the legitimacy of your landlord before you commit, while our rental offer risk assessment (€30, VAT inclusive) helps identify potential risks in your lease agreement. For added security, our escrow service (3.5% of amounts held, VAT inclusive) ensures that your rent and deposit payments are securely managed.
Dual ApproachProperty Checks and Viewings
We View or Check Before You Pay
If you cannot attend a viewing in person, we can inspect the property on your behalf. Our viewing attendance and property check service (€120, VAT inclusive) provides a detailed report with key insights, helping you make an informed decision. Limited availability – advance booking required.

Step 1
Start by signing up and sharing your housing needs with us. Let us know what type of accommodation you're looking for, your budget, preferred location, and any specific requirements. You can also select the services you need—whether it's a full accommodation search, property viewing, landlord verification, or escrow services. If you're unsure where to start, we offer a 30-minute online or phone consultation (€40, VAT inclusive) to help you explore your options and decide which services are right for you.
Step 2
Once we understand your needs, we’ll carry out the services you’ve requested. If you need help finding a home, we’ll conduct a housing search (4% commission, VAT inclusive) and present the best available options. If you want to ensure a property is legitimate before applying, we can perform landlord verification (€20, VAT inclusive) and rental offer risk assessments (€30, VAT inclusive) to check for potential issues. If you’re unable to attend a viewing, we can inspect the property on your behalf (€120, VAT inclusive) and provide a full report. You choose the level of support you need, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Step 3
Once you’ve selected a property, we assist with the final steps to ensure a smooth move-in process. If needed, we can guide you through rental agreements, confirm key details with the landlord, and help secure payments through our escrow service (3.5% of amounts held, VAT inclusive) for added security. We’re here to provide as much or as little support as you need—ensuring a safe and stress-free experience as you secure your new home.
