Who we work with
We partner with UK universities and students' unions who want to take a more active, supportive role in students' off-campus housing experience - without adding to their team's workload.
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.
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.
Housr is completely free for students, universities, and students’ unions. No licensing fees, no hidden costs - just a better experience for your students.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Give your housing team and SU advisors intuitive tools to manage off-campus enquiries, flag concerns, and track student activity - without the admin overhead.
Run joint campaigns, share housing guidance, and co-promote Housr to students during key moments - from Welcome Week to the January housing rush.
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.
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.
