UniHomes: recognising student mental health challenges

Recognising the mental health challenges students face, UniHomes has a vision to make student living stress-free, enabling students to spend more time focusing on their studies and enjoying their time at university.

UniHomes has established itself as the leading marketplace for bills inclusive accommodation, helping hundreds of thousands of students find their perfect ‘home from home.’ The business has invested in its platform, sales, marketing, and launched several new initiatives to benefit students.

Through its partnership with Howden Insurance, UniHomes now offers wellbeing support to its entire student customer base providing immediate mental, financial and physical wellbeing services.

Following two years of significant growth, LDC reinvested in the business in 2025. Since LDC’s initial investment in 2023, the business has grown revenue by 75%. UniHomes has driven growth through significant UK expansion. In 2025, it partnered with over 1,000 letting agents and operators. With LDC’s support, it has increased its nationwide presence from 41 to more than 60, launched in Scotland and increased employee headcount by 65%.

UniHomes’ success has been recognised by several prestigious UK awards programmes, including EY Entrepreneur of the Year, Great Place To Work®, Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50, GP Bullhound Northern Tech Awards and The Negotiator Awards.
