Looking as a group . Most students live as groups sharing, groups of 5 or maybe 6 fit the size of lots of houses and flats. Some groups have a trouble free year others suffer tensions or might end up with one or more people leaving during the year. Ask yourselves these questions before you set yourselves up as a group. You need to sit down and talk this through.
Groups are most likely to be asked to sign a joint contract.
This is a big commitment for you and for the group. Any reservations tell the others. Once you all sign then you are bound by the terms of the contract. Large groups . There are some huge properties for up to 10 but you'll probably need to look at two, or three, smaller flats in one house.
