For a limited time, Pads for Students is offering landlords the opportunity to advertise their properties for free. There are no catches, no tie ins, just a genuine opportunity to advertise your UK based student properties and rooms absolutely free of charge with a free property listing.

Signing up with us couldn't be easier and we are looking for both private and commercial landlords with a varied range of properties available. From studios, flats, apartments, single rooms, houses and halls, you are welcome to list your rental property and find a tenant using Pads for Students. All we ask is that your property is a student let and that you upload a good listing with at least one clear, attractive picture.

“We won't be free forever, so sign up now
to take advantage of our free advertising!”

When we do introduce a charging structure we'll make sure it is highly competitive, fair and we'll give you plenty of warning too. So, why take the time to list your rental property with us? As a new site we are investing heavily in advertising and with a social media team on the case we are ambitious in our desire to continually grow the website. As the volume of properties grows, so the volume of students arriving at the website looking for accommodation to rent grows.
