New housing co-op launched for students
Student Co-op Homes has launched which they say will give students access to cheaper student housing across the UK.
They hope to own the property portfolio of all student housing co-ops and lease them to back to local student groups. They say this will aid stability and sustainability and overcome the need for short-term tenancies for students.
