Overview and location
Arrad House is a student accommodation property on Arrad Street in Liverpool. According to the operator’s listing, it is within a five-minute walk of both the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University, making it one of the more centrally located options for students attending those institutions. The property sits in a residential area close to the city’s main university campuses, which also means convenience to grocery shops, cafés, and public transport links along the nearby thoroughfares.
The property is managed through the Uhomes platform, which lists a total of 32 student accommodation properties across Liverpool. With a weekly rent of £127 (indicative — confirm with the operator), Arrad House sits above the city’s lowest asking price of £80/week for student housing. That differential matters when assessing value for money: the £127 figure corresponds to a mid-range bracket in Liverpool’s current student market, not the cheapest but also not the most expensive.
As of mid-2026, the property carries a rating of 4.4 out of 5, based on 7 reviews on the platform. While the review texts are not displayed in the provided data, the aggregate score suggests a generally positive experience from previous occupants. Compared with the average rating of Liverpool student properties on the same platform, 4.4 is above typical.
Who is this residence for?
Arrad House is best suited to students who prioritise walking distance to university buildings. The five-minute walk to University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University eliminates daily commuting costs and time spent on buses or trains. For a student with early lectures or late library sessions, living that close can be a practical advantage.
The weekly rent of £127 (indicative) is reasonable for that level of proximity. If you are willing to sacrifice location, you could find cheaper rooms elsewhere in Liverpool, but Arrad House’s pricing reflects the convenience of being on campus doorstep. This makes it a sensible choice for students who want to invest a bit more in location rather than saving a few pounds and having to factor in transport costs.
Additionally, the property appears to cater to undergraduates and postgraduates alike, given its proximity to multiple institutions. No specific room types are listed in the data, so the exact mix of studios, en suites, or shared apartments is unknown. However, the weekly price point of £127 is typical for a shared flat or an en-suite room in well-located Liverpool student housing. Students looking for a straightforward, well-situated place to live without frills may find Arrad House fits the brief.
The rating of 4.4, while based on only 7 reviews, indicates that those who have stayed there were largely satisfied. That number of reviews is relatively small, so the score may be less robust than a property with hundreds of responses, but it still suggests that most residents had a positive experience.
Who might want to look elsewhere?
Arrad House may not be ideal for students on a tight budget. The city’s lowest advertised student rent is £80/week, and many properties fall in the £90–£110 range. If every pound counts, you could save £30–£40 per week by choosing a cheaper option – though that likely means a longer walk or a bus ride to campus. Students who prioritise saving money over proximity should compare other properties in the £80–£100/week bracket.
Those who need specific amenities should check with the operator before booking. The provided data does not mention what is included in the rent – for instance, bills, internet, contents insurance, or access to common areas like a gym or study room. If these extras matter to you, you may need to confirm directly or look at a property that itemises its inclusions.
Because there are no unit type details, students who require a private studio or a wheelchair-accessible room may find it difficult to determine suitability from this listing alone. Contacting the operator is necessary.
Finally, if you rely heavily on reviews from a large number of past tenants, 7 reviews is a small sample. The score is good, but it might not reflect the full range of experiences across different flats or time periods. Properties with 50+ reviews offer more statistical reliability.
Price positioning in Liverpool
Liverpool is one of the more affordable UK cities for student housing. The city’s cheapest weekly rent on the Uhomes platform is £80 (indicative). At £127, Arrad House sits about 59% above that floor. That places it in the mid-to-upper range of Liverpool’s student accommodation market.
For context, the average rent across the 32 listed properties in Liverpool is not publicly calculated here, but a typical en-suite room in a well-located property might be £110–£140. Studio apartments often start around £150. Arrad House’s £127 weekly rent is consistent with an en-suite room in a shared flat, or possibly a basic studio – though without room-type data this is an informed guess.
The price is fixed at £127/week (indicative – confirm with the operator). That means the annual rent (assuming a 51- or 52-week tenancy) would be roughly £6,477–£6,604. For students funded by a student loan or parental support, this is a moderate outlay.
If you compare it to the cheapest property in the city at £80/week (£4,080 per year), the difference is about £2,400 per year. That sum could be offset by not needing a bus pass or by saving time. Students should weigh the trade-off.
Room types and leasing guidance
The provided data does not list any unit types or minimum lease terms for Arrad House. From the £127 weekly price and the general lodging description, it is plausible that the property offers a mix of standard en-suite rooms and possibly a few studio apartments, but this cannot be confirmed without operator input.
Lease length is also unspecified. Most student accommodation in Liverpool offers 44-week or 51-week contracts, sometimes with a shorter academic-year option. Because no minimum lease is given, you should clarify this before committing.
Given the lack of room type and lease information, the best advice is to contact the operator (via the on-site assistant on the listing page) to request a full breakdown. Ask for:
- Available room types
- What is included in the rent (bills, internet, insurance)
- Minimum stay duration
- Deposit amount (not stated in data)
- Check-in dates for the 2026–2027 academic year
Because the property is rated 4.4, it is likely well-maintained, but due diligence on the specifics is essential.
Booking timing and availability
With the data reflecting mid-2026 (specifically 2026–07), the 2026–2027 academic year is approaching. Demand for well-located student housing in Liverpool can be high. University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University are large institutions, so rooms in properties within a five-minute walk tend to fill early.
If you are considering Arrad House and are ready to book, it is sensible to check availability as soon as possible. The property has only 7 reviews, which might indicate it is newer or less well-known, but it could also mean limited capacity.
As with any student housing, booking early often gives you a wider choice of rooms and tenancy lengths. If you wait until August or September, preferred options may be gone. However, do not feel pressured – merely be aware that the market moves quickly in the summer.
