Wow !! Where did the past year go ?
It doesn’t seem like 5 minutes since we were showing prospective tenants around our Selly Oak properties last year.
The world of student accommodation doesn’t stand still nor do we at Unipads.
In the past year we have completed our magnificent development at Elliott Apartments.
In the same way as an old pub on Coronation Road was turned into 6 beautiful student homes (Elliott Villas) just a couple of years ago, so an old tyre replacement garage has been turned into our state of the art Elliott Apartments on Selly Hill Road. 8 superb apartments, all with ensuite facilities, each one...

What happens if things go wrong? We at Unipads have the answer!
More often than not, when prospective students from the University of Birmingham are looking for a student house or flat in Selly Oak, they do not really think about problems that might occur in the property.
What happens if the shower stops working or if a radiator starts to leak ?
We, at Unipads, are aware of the importance of providing a speedy response to students and we are very proud of our record on this subject. Our trusted maintenance team are usually in the Selly Oak student area and deal with most issues within 24 hours, if not faster!

University students in Birmingham looking for housing in the Selly Oak area -BEWARE!
One particular agent, who shall of course remain nameless, has been known to use a particular ruse to perpetrate the most appalling scam on unsuspecting young Birmingham University students looking for accommodation in Selly Oak.
A group of students went to view a particular property with this Selly Oak estate agent. They loved the house and went back to the agents office to sign up.
First of all, each of them had to pay the agent a registration fee which effectively is a fee that the agents charge for nothing else other than showing the group over...
Well here we are again. That hectic time when students from The University of Birmingham and BCU begin their search for student accommodation for the next academic year in the Selly Oak area.
How things have changed over the years. 20 years ago Birmingham students would make it their business when they came back to University after the Easter holidays to secure a house for the following year, the tenancy period for which would commence just a couple months later in July. That would be in late April/early May.
By the early years of the new millennium that search for Selly Oak student accommodation would start when students returned after...
If you live in or want to live in a Unipads house, the one thing you can be assured of is that very few landlords put as much effort and attention to detail as we do.
The Unipads brand stands for quality.
To say we put a lot of effort into our houses is a gross understatement.
In the summer holiday period just ended we upgraded no fewer than 9 properties, of which 2 were total refurbishments with everything in the house being renewed including kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, carpets, beds, furniture, window blinds, TV's etc etc. The other 7 were all upgrades of one sort or another including new bathrooms, furniture, carpet etc.
