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?

Students study for 2 and 3 years and courses run from September to June.  Secure payments, deposits and references can be obtained.

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.

An enhanced DBS check will cost £44, or if you have a portable enhanced DBS you will just need to provide this information for our HR Department.
