Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible to book with PMG?

Any full-time student can live with management. If you are unsure as to whether you quality please call us on the relevant reception number to discuss your situation.

If I am doing an internship/placement year, am I allowed to live in the property?

As long as you are still registered as a full-time student and your placement is part of your degree/course then yes, you can still live with management the academic year.
Outside of the academic term, some of our properties are able to accommodate non-students and part-time students on a short-term basis so do get in touch if this is something you require.

What is a deposit protection scheme?

By law, if you pay a deposit to your landlord or letting agent then they must protect it in a government-authorized tenancy deposit protection scheme. It applies to all landlords and agents in England and Wales who have an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreement (the contract) with their tenant.
It was introduced to ensure that you are able to get your deposit back from your landlord or agent when you move out.

Can I make special requests on my application such as living in an all-female flat?

Yes. On our online application you will find a section for additional information. In this section you can state any such special requests. Although we are not able to guarantee every request as it does depend on specific requests, the number of people making requests and the fact that we do not actually allocate rooms until a few weeks before tenancy start – we do try our best to make sure as many requests as possible are met.
However in the vast majority of cases, we are usually able to successfully accommodate requests such as same gender, postgraduate or undergraduate flats. Its a good idea to contact sites to discuss.

Are the room pictures on the website of the exact room I would receive?

The room pictures on the website are only indicative of the room type and not of the actual room you may be allocated. The reason for this is firstly we have so many rooms across the country, that it is not possible to put an image of every single room. Secondly, we receive many room preference requests from students i.e. female only, postgraduates only etc that we must wait until close to check in to allocate an exact room to make sure we do our best to meet resident requests. However you will of course be allocated the room type you have selected.

Will I get a chance to meet new people and make friends at the management place?

Yes, definitely! As part of our PMG program, we run an extensive events calendar across all our sites. The aim of this program is to allow residents to meet each other and make new friends.

Which bills are included?

All your energy, water and insurance costs are included in the rent making it easier to budget and your student loan can go further!
Don’t forget to check out whether you will need a TV Licence at property do not cover this.

Is there parking provided?
