Advertising Periods and Property Listings

Manchester Student Homes specialises in student lettings and structures its advertising calendar around the student househunting cycle to maximise exposure and effectiveness for landlords.

The advertising year is divided into two six-month periods:

  • Period One: 1 October – 31 March
  • Period Two: 1 April – 30 September

Landlords may purchase adverts at any time within an active advertising period. The listing fee remains consistent regardless of when the advert is placed. Please note that all adverts expire on the final day of the advertising period in which they were purchased.

Rollover Listings

If a property has been advertised during Period One and the landlord wishes to re-list the same property in Period Two, a discounted re-registration rate is available.

Manchester Student Homes is the only service recommended to students by the universities and colleges we work with and we help thousands of students find accredited accommodation each year!

We also offer free, impartial advice to our accommodation providers, alongside opportunities for continuous professional development and updates on housing legislation.

Accreditation Plus for Landlords

Accreditation Plus (A+) represents the highest standard within our scheme. Landlords who achieve this level demonstrate exceptional commitment to quality and compliance. As a benefit, A+ landlords receive preferential advertising on the Manchester Student Homes website—your listings will appear higher in search results, giving you greater visibility when students look for accommodation.

International Friendly Standard

Manchester Student Homes developed the International Friendly Standard (IFS) to recognise private halls and landlords who deliver fair, transparent, and supportive services to international students. To achieve this standard, providers must meet the defined criteria and demonstrate a commitment to going above and beyond in the level of service offered.

 

This initiative is supported by the International Departments at The University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University, as well as the International Society.
