Life after graduation just
got a whole lot easier.
So, you’ve graduated (or you’re nearly there), and now the real question hits: Where to next?
Whether you’re heading into your first grad job, taking on a postgrad course, or still figuring it out – one thing’s for sure: finding a place to live shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. Enter Guildford Plaza, a brand-new co-living space designed with young professionals in mind.
Let’s break down why it’s not just somewhere to stay – but somewhere to start your next chapter.
What is co-living for young professionals anyway?
Co-living is modern renting – reimagined. It’s about flexibility, freedom, and having your own space without giving up the social buzz. At Guildford Plaza, you get a fully furnished, private studio apartment with everything included. No splitting bills. No dodgy landlords. Just one all-in monthly payment.
If you’re a recent graduate, think of it like the best bits of a top tier student halls – but truly elevated for professional life.
Why co-living suits young professionals:
1. Flexibility that works around you: Not ready to commit to a 12-month lease? You don’t have to. Guildford Plaza offers flexible stays starting from 3 months, perfect for contract roles, grad schemes or trying out life in a new town.
2. All-inclusive, stress-free living: Your rent covers everything except council tax: high-speed 1GB WiFi, utilities, gym access, co-working spaces, 24/7 support and even event programming. No bills to split. No admin. Just move in and get on with life.
3. Private space meets vibrant community: Each studio is your own sanctuary – but step out your door and there’s a ready-made community waiting. Whether it’s breakfast clubs, movie nights, yoga, or just meeting someone for a walk by the River Wey, Guildford Plaza helps you build a social life without trying too hard.
4. A space that works just as hard as you do: Whether you’re working hybrid, fully remote, or commuting, the setup here supports you. The dedicated co-working spaces have private pods, meeting rooms, and superfast WiFi. Prefer to WFH from your room? Every studio comes with a proper desk, ergonomic chair, and natural light to keep productivity flowing.
Not all renting is
created equal:
If you’ve already looked into traditional rentals, you’ll know the drill: unfurnished flats, long leases, high deposits, and sorting out 5 different bills. Sound familiar?
At Guildford Plaza, you get:
-
Fully furnished private studio
-
Inclusive bills and WiFi
-
No deposit required (just a £250 advance rent payment)
-
Onsite gym, gaming lounge, social kitchen, and more
-
Pet-friendly options
-
A resident app for everything from parcel notifications to booking communal spaces
The best part? You could save over £390/month compared to a traditional rental setup in Guildford.
Location that puts you in the action
(and makes getting out easy too):
Guildford Plaza sits right in the heart of town, a 5-minute walk from the station with 35-minute direct trains into London. That’s ideal if you’re working in the capital but want to skip the sky-high rent.
You’re also a 10-minute shuttle ride to Surrey Research Park, a 15-minute drive to the Surrey Hills, and 4 minutes from High Street cafés, shops, and indie gems. Everything you need – from your morning coffee to weekend hikes – is practically on your doorstep.
Community, minus the cringe:
This isn’t a forced-fun setup. It’s about low-effort, high-reward moments: the kind that turn neighbours into new mates. Think:
-
Weekly fitness classes.
-
Monthly social events.
-
Themed dinner nights.
-
Game tournaments, workshops, and impromptu drinks in The Kitchen.
You choose how much (or how little) you want to get involved.
Who’s it for?
-
Graduates taking their first career steps.
-
Postgrad students at the University of Surrey.
-
Young professionals on hybrid or remote contracts or those who want to escape the London rat race.
-
Digital nomads looking for flexible but stylish base.
-
Anyone sick of house shares and searching for a smarter rental.
And if you’re bringing a pup? Good news: Guildford Plaza is pet-friendly, with a dedicated dog wash station to keep your furry companion fresh after those riverside walks!
