Unihomes and unilets

We manage unihomes and unilets across Brighton and Eastbourne on behalf of home owners and letting agents. With this option the university is your landlord and you deal direct with us whilst enjoying the benefits of living in a shared house or flat. 

You apply for unihomes and unilets in the same way as for halls and we view all accommodation to ensure it meets our standards.

Unihomes and unilets are our recommended option for students whose courses involve frequent placements and shifts and who need to bring a car to university. Let us know if you plan to bring a car when you apply and we will take this into account when allocating rooms.

Download our Unihomes guide for more information and if you have any questions, the accommodation team are here to help – accommodation@brighton.ac.uk.
