Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
StuRents enable students to find accommodation. Having been established in 2008, the company has grown organically since then and now lists over 700,000 rooms in over 100 towns and cities across the UK
Unlike other rental platforms, like Rightmove and Zoopla, StuRents doesn't just allow agencies to use their platform. Instead, they also accept private landlords and purpose-built student accommodation operators, ensuring a broad range of options are made available to house-hunting students. Ultimately, this has levelled the playing field for these groups to compete for student tenants
Moreover, StuRents distinguishes itself further by offering end-to-end services on their platform. This ranges from contract signing through to property management and payments
The data generated by the marketing and end-to-end services also allows StuRents to offer industry leading research insights to institutional clients like banks and real-estate investors
Overall, this approach has successfully enabled StuRents to stand out from both the bigger, more established competitors as well as the increasing number of specialist property platforms. Their success is supported by the fact they are now the leading rental platform in the student letting market
