rather than storing the name and geolocating it every time

Is this supposed to be some sort of automated process? Currently the lookup file with the addresses is manually updated. I can just run pygeocode on the addresses we have so far and update it in the file. However, if this is supposed to be automated, then the file itself needs to be filled by a script or a function.

I would just do it manually - so the file should be hard-coded with the lat/lon. You could just get those lat/lons by running pygeocode and then sticking the results in the file, yes. No need for automation.

There seems to be a problem when using this data when creating an advert. I get an error trying to create an advert against the uni's location, and it's probably just not updated to use the latest code here.

This is now fixed.
