If you are thinking of moving away to continue your studies, there are lots of options of where to live. If you have already received emails or letters from your chosen university/college regarding accommodation, please refer back to the information that they have sent you. It is also likely that they have an Accommodation Office who can answer your specific questions, such as when you will be allowed to move in and what their plans are for next academic year.
For Government guidance on a range of issues, visit: commonslibrary.parliament.uk/social-policy/health/diseases/coronavirus-student-accommodation where you will find information on university-owned and privately-rented accommodation. It covers subjects such as rent, tenancy agreements, what you are entitled to and how the Covid-19 is currently affecting students.
