Bills included. Deposit = zero. Cleaning sorted.

Smart, spacious, and walkable.

Six proper doubles across three floors, two slick bathrooms, and that classic open-plan setup that just works.

The ground floor’s the heart of it all: exposed-brick lounge, bright dining space for big meals and bad decisions, and a modern kitchen opening onto your own courtyard garden — built for lazy mornings, long chats, and late-night chaos.

StudentShack by Airshack

We’re not your average student digs. Backed by Airshack — over 8 years in the game, 100+ properties in Manchester, and over 4,000 reviews — we’ve earned our stripes. We do hospitality seriously. But we also go bigger than flats and homes. We breathe life into forgotten spaces: converting derelict brownfield land, restoring heritage gems, and turning old shells into vibrant places students love to live in.

Do you have questions?

Here you will find answers to the most common questions about our spaces, services, and bookings.

How do I reserve a home?

Pay £200 per person to reserve — it secures your place and comes off your first month’s rent. Non-refundable.

What’s included in my rent?

Everything. Gas, electric, water, Wi-Fi — no hidden costs or surprise bills.

Are the homes fully furnished?

Yes. Beds, sofas, desks, kitchen appliances — all ready for move-in day.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

We’re trialling a no-deposit scheme. Just pay your £200 holding retainer, which comes off your first rent. You’ll need a UK guarantor and to look after your home.

Is there a minimum stay?

Yes, the academic year. Dates vary slightly by property.

Can I end my tenancy early?

You’re committed for the full term unless you find someone to replace you.

Can I book with friends?

Of course. All homes are joint tenancies — perfect for groups.

What does “joint and several” mean?

It means you’re all equally responsible for rent and the property.

Are pets allowed?

No — sorry, no pets in student properties.

Are there laundry facilities?

Yes — washer, dryer, or combo in every home.

Is there bike storage?

Usually. Check the property details to be sure.

What’s the EPC rating?

All homes are EPC C or better — efficient and cost-friendly.

What’s the Wi-Fi like?

You get a monthly allowance to pick your own provider and speed.

Is there parking?

Some homes have on- or off-street parking. Check each listing.

How do I report maintenance?

Through our website. Our maintenance team sorts things quickly.

What if a housemate leaves?

You’re all still responsible for rent, but we’ll help find a replacement.

What’s a guarantor?

Someone who guarantees your rent — standard for student lets.

What if I don’t have a guarantor?

You can pay the full year’s rent upfront.

What makes Student Shack different?

We own every home. Local, personal, and built for real people — not just tenants.
