Before you chooseConfirm the number of bedrooms and if you book one room or the whole flat.
See Liverpool apartmentsLiverpool students live close together: most of the private student accommodation we list sits within about a mile of the city centre, near the University of Liverpool, LJMU and LIPA. Rooms start at around £95 a week. Shared houses in Kensington and around Smithdown Road are the other big choice.
Liverpool rents sit below most large UK student cities, with most rooms between about £145 and £205 a week. Here you will find the typical rent, rooms under £100, monthly budgets, city centre prices, studio costs and the top end.
Liverpool is good news for a tight budget. Most rooms on our pages cost between about £145 and £205 a week, and the compact centre means many students walk everywhere and skip a bus pass. Even mid range rooms leave more spare money than in Bristol or Glasgow.
Liverpool still has rooms from under £100 a week, usually basic en-suites or rooms with a shared bathroom just outside the centre. Europa on Erskine Street, in L6, sits near the bottom of our Liverpool price range, with a small double bed and its own shower room.
Rent is quoted weekly, but your loan arrives termly. For a monthly view, take the weekly figure, times it by 52, then split by 12: about £120 a week becomes roughly £520 a month. Check the instalment dates against your loan dates so nothing falls due early.
Most purpose built student accommodation in Liverpool sits in or near the city centre, within walking distance of the main campuses. Liverpool city centre rooms start from around £135 a week, and newer blocks with gyms and cinema rooms cost more. Walking to lectures saves bus fares all year.
A Liverpool studio usually costs around £50 to £70 a week more than a cluster flat en-suite, so roughly £3,000 extra over a year. Studios start at around £170 a week. Weigh the extra against how often you cook and how much company you want.
Liverpool's top end studios and apartments run from around £250 to over £350 a week, often with a sofa, TV and larger living space. Iconinc The Ascent on Renshaw Street is one example. Deposits at this level can reach around £500, so ask what comes back at the end.
Many Liverpool students move from a block into a shared house after first year. We look at the rules for shared houses in England, Kensington, Smithdown Road, houses versus blocks, flats for two and the Baltic Triangle.
Under the Renters' Rights Act, most private student lets in England, shared houses included, now run as rolling tenancies, and you can usually leave with two months' notice. A landlord can still take a shared house back for next year's students, but must warn you in writing first.
Kensington, east of the centre along the Kensington road and Prescot Road, has rows of terraced student houses and several purpose built blocks. It is a short walk or bus ride to the University of Liverpool and LJMU, and rooms usually cost less than central ones.
Smithdown Road, running south east towards Wavertree and Penny Lane, is lined with student houses, cafes and takeaways. Many second and third years at the University of Liverpool and LJMU share houses here. Buses into town run often, so check the stop nearest your door.
A shared house usually costs less per room, but you split bills, deal with a private landlord and sort your own housemates. A purpose built block includes bills, has staff on site and fills flats for you. Many students switch to a house in second year.
A two bed flat gives two friends a bedroom each, with one shared kitchen, bathroom and living area. Windsor Court on London Road has built flats this way. Ask if the quoted rate is per person or for the whole flat, and if you each sign a separate contract.
The Baltic Triangle, south of the centre near the waterfront, mixes creative studios, street food markets and newer student blocks. It is about a 20 minute walk to the Knowledge Quarter, so it suits students who value the area's nightlife and culture over the shortest commute.
The University of Liverpool teaches most courses in the Knowledge Quarter on the edge of the city centre, with vets at Leahurst. Covered here: the campus zones, where students live, studios nearby, the vet campus, couples and January starts.
The University of Liverpool teaches most courses on its Knowledge Quarter campus, split into North, Central and South zones for health, science and humanities. Rooms around London Road, Pembroke Place and Daulby Street sit a few minutes from the northern buildings. Check which zone your school uses before you choose.
First years mostly live in the city centre or close to campus. From second year many move into shared houses around Kensington, Smithdown Road and Wavertree. Living in the centre keeps lectures and nights out on foot, while the house areas cost less and feel more like a neighbourhood.
Veterinary Science runs from the Leahurst campus at Neston, which the university places 12 miles south of Liverpool, with its equine and small animal teaching hospitals. If later years of your course move there, a room beside the Knowledge Quarter will not cut that daily trip. Check your timetable first.
Several Liverpool studios sit within a short walk of the Knowledge Quarter, many around Islington and London Road. Some price rooms by floor, with top floors costing most. Calico on Islington is one property that sets rent this way. Ask which floor a quote covers before you compare totals.
Only some Liverpool properties take couples, usually in one bed apartments or big studios listed for two. A few say a second person costs nothing extra, but policies change. Ask the provider to confirm the terms for two in writing before you pay a deposit.
A few Liverpool properties near the university take January arrivals on contracts of around 26 to 33 weeks, ending in summer. Paddington Park House in L7 has offered rooms this way. Weekly rates are often close to the full year rate, so the shorter stay saves money overall.
Liverpool John Moores, Liverpool Hope and LIPA each teach from different sites. The answers below cover LJMU's two campuses, Copperas Hill, Hope Park, Hope's Creative Campus, LIPA and how contract length changes your total.
Liverpool John Moores University teaches at City Campus, for engineering, technology, health and science, and at Mount Pleasant, for art, humanities and social subjects. The two sit about 15 minutes apart on foot, so the wrong one adds a daily walk. Pick a room near the campus that runs your course.
Copperas Hill, home to LJMU's Student Life Building, sits between its two campuses, right behind Lime Street station. Rooms near here put both sites, the station and the main shopping streets on foot, which suits students who travel home at weekends. Expect city centre prices.
Liverpool Hope University's main site, Hope Park, sits in Childwall about four miles from the city centre. Most private student blocks are in the centre, so Hope students often weigh a cheaper house nearer Childwall against a central room and a bus ride. Time the trip at peak hours.
Creative and performing arts students at Hope go to the Creative Campus on Shaw Street in L6, north east of the centre. Several student properties sit within a short walk, and Everton Park is close by. It is a quieter base than the main city centre streets.
The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts sits on Mount Street in the Georgian Quarter, close to the University of Liverpool and LJMU's Mount Pleasant buildings. Rehearsals can run late, so a room within a short walk matters. The Georgian Quarter streets mix older houses with a few newer blocks.
In Liverpool the same room can cost a different total on 39, 44 or 50 week contracts. A shorter contract usually has a higher weekly rate, yet can still cost less overall. Multiply each option out, and pick the length that covers your course and exams.
