Students in Liverpool say that affordability, location and fast Wi-Fi are the most important things they look for in accommodation.
The boss of a lettings agency serving Liverpool's student population has told the ECHO what young people want from their accommodation, which acts as a home from home while they're at university. Liverpool has a huge student population - estimated to be more than 60,000 and growing annually.
Property expert Dave Blackman tapped into the market after setting up Liverpool Student Lettings with his business partner Shez Blundell in 2015. The firm's offices are on Maryland Street and Hope Street, in the heart of the Georgian Quarter.
