Consider Split Groups - If you can't find an 8-bed house, two adjacent 4-bed houses on the same street might work.

Check Bills Included - Larger houses with bills included simplify splitting costs among more people.

Visit Together - Try to view properties with your whole group to ensure everyone is happy with the room allocation.
