Welcome to Rate My Gaff
We're building the UK's first dedicated student housing community – a space where students, landlords, and letting agents come together to create better rental experiences for everyone.
Finding the right place to live during your studies shouldn't be a gamble. Whether you're a first-year looking for your first student house or a final-year veteran helping others navigate the market, Rate My Gaff gives you the tools to make informed decisions and share your knowledge with the community.
Our Vision
Rate My Gaff exists to bridge the gap between students and the rental sector. We believe transparency benefits everyone:
- For students: Make confident decisions backed by real experiences from fellow students
- For landlords & agents: Build reputation through honest feedback and showcase quality properties
- For the community: Create a trusted platform that raises standards across UK student housing
By bringing honest reviews, valuable insights, and open dialogue to one place, we're working towards a rental market where great landlords are celebrated, students are empowered, and everyone benefits from transparency.
More Than Reviews
While we're starting with reviews, Rate My Gaff is growing into a complete student housing hub:
- Reviews & Ratings: Share experiences across five key areas – landlord responsiveness, location, space, property condition, and value for money
- Community Knowledge: Access tips, guides, and insights from students who've been there before
- Future Features: Look forward to student blogs, spare room postings, landlord accreditations, and spotlights on the best in the business
We're currently in our pilot phase, learning from our early community members and building features that truly serve student needs.
Join the Movement
Whether you're a student with experiences to share, a landlord committed to quality housing, or simply someone who believes in transparent, fair rental markets – there's a place for you here.
Together, we're creating the UK's first true student housing community. One review, one conversation, one gaff at a time.
