Housr’s app-based platform will be available from 01.10.2025 for University of Birmingham students to easily find their ideal home, connect with housemates, split and manage bills and unlock exclusive local and national discounts. The platform brings all these benefits under one platform that is designed to enhance the university experience both on and off campus.
The announcement follows discussions between Housr and the University of Birmingham to explore how the platform could help the university modernise its off-campus housing processes, promote their UoB Approved Landlord Membership Scheme, and increase engagement with its students.
Amit Mehey, Business Development Manager, Student Living at the University of Birmingham, said: “Our students’ living experience and wellbeing are top priorities. We have chosen to partner with Housr because their platform provides an integrated, modern solution that will make the private rental journey simpler and more secure for our students.”
Speaking on behalf of Housr, Amar Chana, Head of Partnerships, said: “The pace of progress with UoB has been incredible; a true reflection of the strength of this collaboration. From the very first conversation, we worked hand-in-hand: sharing ideas, listening to feedback and aligning on what matters most for their students. Huge thanks to the Student Living team at UoB for their forward-thinking approach. Together, we’re setting a new standard in student living, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.
“This partnership represents a bold step forward in how universities can embrace cutting-edge technology to improve the student experience. With the University of Birmingham leading the way, the higher education sector will be watching closely to see how this collaboration reshapes the future of student accommodation across the UK.”
Since its launch, Housr has built its presence across the UK by partnering with trusted letting agents and landlords, ensuring students can access the best properties on the market with ease.
