#1 Student Lettings Agency
Helping Your Child Find Safe, Reliable Accommodation in Lincoln Since 2015
When your child accepts their place at the University of Lincoln or Bishop Grosseteste University, it’s an exciting time — but as a parent, you’re probably also feeling a healthy dose of worry. Where will they live? Who will they live with? Are the bills included? What happens if something goes wrong?
You’re not alone — thousands of parents each year become unofficial housing advisors, helping their children find a student home that’s safe, fairly priced, and well-managed.
This guide is designed specifically for you — the parent. Whether you’re acting as a guarantor, advising your child, or just doing your homework, we’ll explain what to look for in a good student lettings agency in Lincoln, how to avoid common pitfalls, and why so many families choose Student Housing.
Not all student letting agents are created equal. Here’s what to look for when helping your child choose a property:
Make sure the agency clearly outlines rent costs and what’s included. Hidden fees or separate utility providers can create headaches and extra costs.
At Student Housing, we include gas, electricity, water, heating and even the TV licence in the rent, meaning your child never has to set up (or forget to pay for) utilities. You can learn more about what’s included in our Tenant Info Centre.
Look for agents that are accredited by reputable bodies. We’re proud to be an accredited partner of the University of Lincoln Students’ Union, which means we’re vetted, trusted, and accountable to a high standard of student service.
The tenancy agreement should be easy to read, with fair clauses and no dodgy small print. We provide all our contracts digitally, and we offer dedicated guidance for UK and international guarantors, making the process simple and stress-free.
You can even view our downloads and guides in advance — including sample tenancy agreements, guarantor declarations and our move-in guide.
Look for agents who actively maintain their properties. Our houses are fully safety checked before every tenancy, with annual gas and electrical inspections, regular maintenance, and a 24/7 emergency support line for peace of mind.
Since launching in 2015, Student Housing has grown to become Lincoln’s highest-rated student lettings agency — and we’re proud to say that’s largely down to our people.
We were founded by former University of Lincoln students who remember what it’s like to live in shared housing — which means we know exactly what students need, and how to make the experience as smooth as possible.
Our team genuinely cares. From first viewings to moving day and everything in between, your child will get support from people who know the student market — not just another faceless lettings company.
We use an online portal to streamline applications, contracts and maintenance reporting, but you’ll always be able to speak to a real person if you need to. We’re here for you and your child throughout the tenancy.
Yes. All our properties meet the latest HMO and safety regulations, and we offer guidance on fire safety and security. You’ll also get a full move-in inspection report and access to our tenant resource centre for peace of mind.
We have a smart online maintenance system where students can report issues 24/7. Our local team responds quickly, and we prioritise urgent repairs like heating, locks and leaks. Learn more about how we handle this on our Tenants’ Maintenance Guide.
Yes — most student tenancies require a guarantor. But don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it step-by-step, and you can complete everything securely online. You’ll find example forms and guidance here.
No. We include a fair-use energy allowance based on house size and efficiency, and we provide energy-saving guides to help students stay within it.
We understand that life happens. Our team is always on hand to help with tenancy swaps or guidance if things change.
We offer student houses, flats and apartment blocks across all of Lincoln’s most popular student areas, including:
West End – Quiet streets, close to the University of Lincoln
Sincil Bank – Great value and walking distance to campus
Monks Road & Arboretum – Ideal for Bishop Grosseteste students
City Centre – Modern apartments with everything on your doorstep

We’ve helped thousands of students and their families find the right home in Lincoln. Here’s what some of our parents have said:
“Student Housing made the process so easy. As a parent, I had questions about the contract, guarantor forms, and what happens if my son needs help. They were responsive, transparent and reassuring every step of the way. – Rachel, parent of a second-year student
“It’s clear they genuinely care about students. I’d recommend them to any parent looking for a safe, supportive environment for their child.- Mark, parent and guarantor
