Giving Back Through the loc8me Foundation 🌳

We’re pleased to share that the loc8me Foundation recently supported an initiative in Loughborough with a £5,000 donation, helping pupils swap screen time for tree time.

The project encouraged students to spend more time outdoors, connect with nature, and enjoy the wellbeing benefits of learning beyond the classroom.

Market Insights – Clearing Sparks a Surge in Demand

August is always a key month in the student market, and this year is no different. Following Clearing, we’ve seen enquiries rise significantly as students secure their university places and scramble for accommodation.

Key takeaways from this month’s activity:

Enquiries spiked across all major student cities post Clearing
Smaller HMOs and self-contained 1–4 beds remain the most in demand property type
Affordability remains tight, value for money properties fill first

For landlords, this means: now is the time to ensure your properties are visible, competitively priced, and well-presented. The demand is here – the key is to capture it.
