Being a Good Neighbour

Once you have moved into your new home - don’t be shy - introduce yourself to your neighbours. This will help establish and build a positive relationship. Your neighbours are a source of useful information about your local area, including important information such as when the rubbish is collected, etc. They may also be able to help to keep an eye on your house during weekends and holidays.

Ensure you respect others living around you; inconsiderate noise levels often lead to complaints.

Some pointers to remember:

Making the right impression - it is important to establish a good relationship with your neighbours.

Respect your neighbours by keeping the noise levels to an acceptable level and let them know if you plan to have a party.

Be particularly sensitive if you live alongside young children and older people.

Be responsible for ensuring you keep your home and garden free from waste – otherwise it becomes an eyesore or can cause health problems.

Bath Student Accommodation Guide

Finding the right house sounds simple, but often it is a daunting and exhausting process. The Bath Student Housing Handbook has been produced to provide some practical information on the do’s and don’ts in your search for private accommodation.

The key is to make sure you do some research before you start. The worst thing that you can do is to rush the process; it is a big commitment and for that reason you should make sure you know what you are signing up for.
