Join for freeName and email to start · Add your home preferences whenever you’re readyOctober member offer
Your first week’s rent free.
Join NewGen Homes for free and apply for a participating studio or house. If your accommodation application is approved by 31 October 2026 and you enter an agreement for that property, your first week’s rent is free.
Participating properties only. The ongoing rent is the advertised weekly amount. Membership is free and is separate from applying for accommodation. Approval and accommodation are subject to availability and the usual application process.
The NewGen way
Join now. Find the right fit over time.
Start with your name and email. Choose whether you’d like to hear about new homes and member offers. Share your budget, locations and preferences later, when you’re ready.
Members can hear about selected listings before wider promotion. The one-week rent-free October offer applies only to participating properties when your accommodation application is approved by 31 October 2026 and you take that home. Joining does not guarantee a home or priority approval.
The guest experience
Finding a home can feel like a minefield.
You enquire. You wait. You inspect.
The property may not be what you expected from the photographs. You may not know who you’ll be living with. You apply without really knowing your chances.
And if it isn’t right — or you miss out — you’re back online starting all over again.
NewGen is being built to change that.
Your NewGen Home Profile
Tell us once. We’ll keep looking.
With NewGen Membership, tell us what you’re looking for once. We create your NewGen Home Profile around four core questions:
WHERE
Where would you like to live, work or study?
HOW
How do you want to live? Tell us what is essential and what you would simply prefer.
WHEN
When would you like to move?
Tell us what you’re looking for once.

A more trusted way
Built around your ongoing search.
Stop starting again.
Your NewGen profile stays with NewGen, so every property enquiry doesn’t need to become a completely new search.
Know what you’re getting.
NewGen aims to provide clear information, representative photography, defined accommodation standards and professionally managed homes.
Know where you stand.
NewGen is developing NewGen Approved, designed to allow suitable members to complete key qualification steps before selecting a particular home.

As the NewGen network grows, Membership allows us to progressively consider your profile against suitable NewGen opportunities.
The NewGen Guest Charter
Know what you’re getting.
Not every NewGen Home will be the same. Different locations, different accommodation and different price points are part of the NewGen network. What should remain consistent is the standard and care behind the NewGen name.
Different homes. Different locations. Different price points. One underlying NewGen standard of care.
What You See Is What You Get
Listings and photography should accurately represent the accommodation being offered.
A Legitimate Home
NewGen Homes must satisfy NewGen requirements relating to legitimacy, safety and applicable accommodation standards.
Clean When You Arrive
Private accommodation is prepared and clean for move-in, with appropriate standards for common areas.
A Defined NewGen Standard
Different homes can provide different experiences and price points while meeting NewGen’s underlying standards.
Clear Costs
Guests should understand the applicable rent and other charges before committing.
Maintenance Matters
Maintenance requests are acknowledged and managed according to their nature and urgency.
Help When It Matters
NewGen aims to provide guests with a clear assistance pathway when important or urgent property issues arise.
Privacy and Security Matter
NewGen Homes operate with clear access protocols and respect for guests’ private spaces.
A Home That’s Looked After
Our involvement does not end when a guest moves in. Ongoing operation and property care matter.
If We Don’t Meet the Standard, Tell Us
Guests have a clear pathway to raise issues with NewGen.
We promise to look after your home. We ask you to look after it — and the people you share it with.
NewGen Approved · Coming Soon
Get ready before you find your home.
NewGen is developing a way for eligible members to complete key guest qualification steps before selecting a particular home—reducing repetition and uncertainty when the right opportunity becomes available.
