Accomodation info for private letting
Hey guys 
Hope you had a nice holiday. I have decided to be a nice guy and make a thread with information on getting accommodation for your 2nd year (This only really applies to First years hoping to live in accommodation next year and to people who don’t want to live in halls but want to live in a student house).
Hopefully, by now you have all got together the people you want to live with; usually the estate agents have houses for groups of 3, 4, 5 and 6; it’s possible to get a house for just 1 or 2 people but they end up being quite expensive.
House lists are available from the FIRST day of the term starting in January (spring term); It’s advisable to obtain the list as soon/quickly as possible (Probably on that same Monday) in order to beat the rush. (Trust me the rush is wild and hectic).
The *estate agents* that serve students in Hatfield are all located in the town centre and you can obtain the lists direct from them..
Estate Agents:-
Century 21
Pikes
Mather Marshall Lettings
Wrights
Those are the major letting agents.. You can also use the University lettings; the Student Union accommodations Office is situated in the Ele house and they publish a list as well with some excellent properties to view.
Houses for groups of 4 are usually the quickest to go so be quick if you have just 4 in your group.
*Century 21, Pikes and MM lettings usually have pretty good houses, on popular roads like Hazel Grove, Bishops Rise, High Dells, Maryland…. Wrights formerly had a bad reputation for not returning students deposits after the tenancy agreements; However, I hear they are desperately trying to rescue this bad reputation by being more reasonable and returning deposit as far as the house is in immaculate condition after the tenancy*
During your house hunting, if you see a property you like, call the estate agents immediately and inform them that you like the property and tell them to hold it for you; They will then ask you all to come in and pay a deposit (usually around £250 - £300)each in order to secure the property.
If anyone decides to pull out from their group for any reason whatsoever, the estate agents might ask you to look for a replacement tenant before they refund your deposit.
Also, if you find yourself short of a group member (because someone dropped out), keep your eyes on the accommodation bit on studynet; 100s of adverts looking for people are usually posted weekly (and daily of course).
Contracts usually start from 1st of September and end 30th June.
Hope this helps.. I will edit as soon as I discover more information.

EDIT - For first year students who intend to apply for halls of residence; I advice you to apply as early as January - Late March because it gets really busy in the later months and the later you leave it, the less likely you are to get your hall of choice.. So Apply as soon as you make your mind up about Hertfordshire

; Keep trying, you might be able to find a group 
; thats the disadvantage of living out in the first year I guess, it's really hard to find people to live with.. You will definately find accomodation for 2nd year, but you might not have much control over who you live with...
I'll find someone extra.
Otherwise I'll live under Lauren's bed.

It should be around that range..You will be better off looking for more people (maybe 1 or 2) you will have a better chance and wider choice of finding properties
