If you do not have a UK-based guarantor, you can either use housing which will act as a guarantor on your behalf or you can pay all of your rent in one annual upfront payment.

Property laws are different outside of the UK. This means that it is not possible for your guarantor to be based elsewhere.

Your holding retainer reserves the house for 3 working days. In this time you will need to fill in your tenancy form and upload your documents. You will then be sent the tenancy agreement.

After signing your agreement online it will automatically send them a copy so there is nothing you need to do apart from sign.

Do not sign the agreement if you do not understand. On page 3 of the contract, there are definitions that should help explain anything that is not clear. You can also give them a call or email the team. Your university should be able to advise you if there is anything you need to clarify.

Joint and several liability means that both individually and jointly all of the tenants are individually and jointly responsible for paying rent and for all other tenants’ responsibilities during the tenancy.

You will be sent your tenancy agreement via email. There are clear instructions when you open the document, please ensure you sign your first and last name (no initials).

After paying the holding retainer they ask you to fill out a tenant details link that they email over to your whole group. When this is done they send out the tenancy agreement via email.

Their standard tenancy length is 52 weeks unless you are taking one of their houses which is being refurbished (these tenancies are often slightly shorter).

They have no admin fees!! They’re unnecessary and dated and stop you from getting the most for your money.

Your group will only have the house once all the tenancy details forms have been completed, a contract has been sent out, all tenants and guarantors have signed, all remaining retainers have been paid and all identification for tenants and guarantors received. Then the landlord will contract the property and you will be notified of this by email.

You call the office to pay one £200 holding Retainer. This reserves the property for you and gets the ball rolling. The holding retainer is non-refundable but is deducted from the first month’s rent of the person who paid it. Each of the other members of the house will also need to pay a £200 holding retainer within 2 days after the tenancy agreement is signed.

Their caretakers will attend every month to carry out health and safety checks on your property to test the fire alarm and emergency lights. They will notify you in advance of when this will be. Your property Manager or a member of the management team will carry out inspections every term. The reason for these inspections is to check all is well in the properties and look for any required works- also it is great to meet their tenants throughout the year!

Dishwashers need salt and rinse aid regularly- the filter also needs to be kept clean and clear of debris as this will cause blockages.

Tumble dryers need to be emptied of fluff on a regular basis, not emptying this will cause the unit to overheat and not work correctly.

Condensation mould forms when there is too much moisture in the air and it hits a cold surface.If the mould reoccurs after you have removed it and you are not drying clothes inside please report it as an issue so they can investigate.

There will be an isolation switch outside the bathroom – please ensure this is turned on before reporting as maintenance.

If your shower is blocked do not continue to shower with it running over the top, as this will cause a leak and damage to the house. You need to unblock showers regularly and ensure the plug is free from hair.

This often happens when the door is attempted to be opened before the door has unlocked after the cycle. Always wait 5 minutes before trying to open the door. If this is the case and it has been forced open this may be something that will require repairs that they may not cover the cost of. Sometimes, the washing machine will have a drain function, so please use this if possible before opening the door using a piece of string.

Please ensure that you are disposing of your household waste correctly and putting it out on the correct day (preferably the night before as this ensures collection, a lot of students aren’t up at 9 am!). You can search online when collection days are/what you can and can’t put in each bin. *This is important as the council reserves the right to refuse collection if the rubbish is disposed of incorrectly* If you think you need more council bins, please let them know and they can put in a request. You can find information on bin collections on your council website.

Always listen to the most recent email. Unfortunately, their maintenance team may have to attend to emergency problems which can take priority over your maintenance, hence them rescheduling the visit date.

For general maintenance, reporting it through the Portal will mean that the issue is resolved as quickly as possible for you.

It is important to remember that your energy usage is not unlimited. You will be responsible for any additional costs if you exceed your allowance.
