Got a space suitable for student rental?

Become a student landlord

We are looking for accommodation in Camborne, Falmouth, Newquay and St Austell areas for Higher Education (18+) and Further Education students (16-18) studying with the Cornwall College Group. Do you have a spare room to rent out, a flat or house to rent or do you know anyone in this area who could provide accommodation for our students?

For our 16-18 year old students we are looking for: a spare room to rent out (self-catering, with shared use of your kitchen facilities) or catered for accommodation (bed, breakfast and evening meal).

Current host families are charging in the region of £135 per week to include all meals and one load of laundry.

Students study for 1, 2 and 3 years and courses run from September to June. Secure payments, deposits and references can be obtained. All contracts are between students and landlords.

DBS checks

If you are renting to our 16-18 year olds, you will need to have a Cornwall College enhanced DBS check for every member of your house over 18. Please contact us for more information and help obtaining this.

A standard DBS check will cost £34.60, one DBS check will be paid for by the college, each one after that you will have to fund. If you have a portable DBS you will just need to provide this information for our HR Department.
