How do you find an ensuite in Norwich that fits your budget?
- Count the total cost, not just the weekly rent. A room with bills included can work out cheaper than a lower-priced room where you pay for energy and Wi-Fi separately. So, make sure all utilities ( gas, electricity, water, and broadband) are covered in your total cost.
- Work out your weekly cost after cashback. Many properties offer cashback on selected room bookings, especially for the September intake. A room slightly above your budget can still fit once the cashback is taken off your total rent.
- Choose the right room type. An important factor when looking for student accommodation with your budget is knowing which room type fits your lifestyle. An ensuite gives you your own bathroom while you share the kitchen. At Pablo Fanque House, ensuites start from £155/week, while studios start from £244/week.
- Pick a contract that matches your course. A 44-week contract can cost less overall than a 48- or 51-week one if you go home for the summer.
- Look for extras that save you money. Some bookings come with a free bus pass or student discounts and other offers (all subject to terms and conditions), which helps if you save overall. All this can significantly reduce your daily expenditure and help you spend below your estimated budget.
