Why partner with us?

Our free platform simplifies the entire off-campus rental journey - for students, housing officers, and students' union advisors alike. From search to signing, we reduce stress, surface problems early, and give your institution the insights it needs to genuinely support student wellbeing.

Built for student wellbeing

Off-campus housing is one of the biggest sources of student stress in the UK. Housr creates a safe, guided environment where students can find verified properties, connect with housemates, manage utilities, and access support - all in one place. Less anxiety, better outcomes.

Free for everyone

Housr is completely free for students, universities, and students' unions. No licensing fees, no hidden costs - just a better experience for your students.

Verified off-campus housing

Match your students with properties you can feel confident recommending. Already have a verification process? We'll integrate with it seamlessly. Starting from scratch? We work exclusively with a curated network of trusted, student-focused letting agents - so students are only ever browsing properties from landlords and agents who've earned their place on the platform.

Real data. Actionable insights.

Access anonymised, aggregated dashboards showing housing trends, search behaviour, common student pain points, and engagement data across your cohort. Use these insights to inform housing strategy, SU welfare campaigns, and pastoral support - and share findings with accommodation teams, Senate, or student council with confidence.

University–SU collaboration

We understand that universities and students' unions often operate independently - but work best together on student housing issues. Housr gives both parties shared visibility, aligned tools, and a joint platform to run housing awareness campaigns, communicate policy updates, and coordinate welfare support.

GDPR-Compliant

Housr is built in full compliance with UK GDPR. Student data is never sold or shared with third parties. Your institution retains confidence that student information is handled lawfully, transparently, and securely - in line with your own data protection obligations.

How we work

One platform. Everyone connected.

Streamlined housing operations

Give your housing team and SU advisors intuitive tools to manage off-campus enquiries, flag concerns, and track student activity - without the admin overhead.

University & SU collaboration

Run joint campaigns, share housing guidance, and co-promote Housr to students during key moments - from Welcome Week to the January housing rush.

GDPR-safe communication

Send targeted, consent-based messages to students at the right time - whether that's reminding second-years to start their search early, or alerting students to a local landlord removed from our verified list.

Data & insight reporting

Receive regular reports on platform usage, housing demand trends, and student satisfaction - giving your institution an evidence base for housing policy decisions and SU welfare priorities.

Student benefits

More than just a rental app
Everything students need for off-campus life, in one trusted place.
  • Browse trusted properties

    Filter by price, location, room type and more. Every property is listed by a landlord or agent who has been vetted by Housr or approved through your university's own verification process.

  • Personalised matching

    Our concierge team helps students find homes that suit their budget, lifestyle, and study needs.

  • Find housemates

    Connect safely with other students with Housr's Roomie feature - ideal for students who don't arrive with a ready-made friendship group.

  • Direct landlord messaging

    Chat with landlords or letting agents in-app, with a clear record of all communications. Escalate concerns directly to your university housing officer or SU advisor at the tap of a button.

  • Utilities made simple

    Set up gas, electricity, broadband and more without the stress. We take the faff out of first-time renting.

  • Exclusive student perks

    Save on groceries, food, fashion and entertainment with deals negotiated specifically for Housr students. New offers added regularly.
