With the new university year fast approaching, we have a student focused article. SpareRoom.co.uk have compiled a list of the university towns and cities in the UK with the most affordable private-sector room rents. Northern Ireland’s, Queens University in Belfast tops the list with weekly rents of just £67, followed by St Andrew’s university in Scotland where the average rent is just £77 a week.
Not surprisingly, London is the most expensive city for students to live in, with private sector accommodation costing £151 per week, or £654 per month. Outside of London, Surrey University, at £109 per week, and Royal Holloway in Egham at £120 per week are the most expensive for nearby private sector rented accommodation. Read to full article here.
The first ever Noise Nuisance App has been launched for the iPhone. The App is available for just £2.49 from the iTunes App Store. More details available here.
