What bedding is suitable for a 3/4 sized bed?

A 3/4 sized bed is larger than a single but slightly smaller than a standard double. It's worth checking online for 3/4 sized bedding specifically as many stockists now offer this. Otherwise, they would recommend opting for bedding that fits a small to standard double bed.

I want to move or upgrade my room. Can I do this?

All our show flats, and the images on our website, are representative of a particular room type unless labelled otherwise – however they are not identical. Your room will have all the same features and fittings, just in a slightly different set up. If you are unhappy with your room, please speak to the reception team. Where there are other rooms available they will offer these as an alternative. Please be aware that these requests may incur a charge.

You just need to bring a valid form of photo ID to prove who you are when you arrive. There’s no need to print off your tenancy agreement or booking confirmation. They can accept a valid passport, driving licence or national ID card as proof of ID.

What should I do if I don’t have photo ID?

They can accept a valid passport, driving licence or national ID card as proof of ID. If you don’t have any of these, please bring any proof of ID that you have. The team will check this and will need to ask a few security questions before they can provide you with your key.

My flatmate didn't help to clean the kitchen. What do I do?

It's a good idea to plan for your check-out in advance of the end of your tenancy, so you can share the cleaning responsibilities. You and your flatmates are equally responsible for leaving the cupboards, fridge, and freezer empty and the kitchen clean. If your flatmates have left without cleaning the kitchen it is your choice whether you do the cleaning yourself. Any charges will apply to all flatmates – yourself included – so we recommend putting in the effort to organise this ahead of everyone leaving.

However, they do make some exceptions, for example if you’ve got a medical reason to have one. You'll need to check this with your property team before you move in. You can find out what’s included in your room by checking the information for your room type on your amber webpage.

It's better to report damages whilst you’re living with them so they can get it fixed, and you can avoid any charges when you leave. If something has been damaged – even if by accident - please report it to a member of your Property Team straight away.

Can I make repairs myself?

No. Your maintenance team will be happy to help with any repairs, so please log your maintenance request through their App.

Why is my credit no longer showing on my statement?

If you have a credit on your account, you will be able to see this on your account statement.

When does the heating turn on and how do I control it?

The heating in properties maintain a base temperature to stop rooms from getting cold. You’ll then find a thermostat in your individual rooms that you can use to alter how warm your room is. There are two types of thermostats in our properties. The most common version has a single boost button. When you hit the boost button on your thermostat, it means that the heating will ramp up for 45 minutes, and you can do this multiple times. But once it hits the upper temperature, you won’t be able to keep increasing it. Instead, it will simply maintain that level of warmth when you press the button. In some buildings, you'll find a different thermostat that has five different settings (off, low, medium, high, boost). You can choose which setting you would like to have the heating on, and then use the boost button to increase the temperature for 45 minutes. Once that temperature has been reached, the heating won’t come on again unless the thermostat senses a drop below that pre-set temperature.

I want to bring a TV to watch in my room - how can I connect this?

How you connect a TV in your room will depend on the property you’re living in. Most of our rooms don't have aerial points, but if you have a Smart TV you can connect through Wi-Fi. If you plan to watch live or on demand TV, you’ll require a TV License. For more information on this, visit www.tvlicensing.co.uk.

Can I stay overnight with my student when I visit them?

What are your fire safety procedures?

The property work with Avon Fire and Rescue Service to go above and beyond what the fire safety regulations demand from our homes, policies, and procedures. The fire risk assessments are done by experienced assessors who are members of the Institution of Fire Engineers. On-site teams test our fire alarms every week, and show all new arrivals their evacuation routes and assembly points - so they know exactly what to do in an emergency. You'll find emergency signage located throughout each building, but if you’re ever unsure or worried, you can speak to staff who’ll be happy to explain where you’d need to go.

How can I keep safe from fire in my flat?

Nothing is more important than your safety, and that includes keeping safe from fire in your flat. There’s safety equipment and systems on site that help to keep you safe every day, but there’s a part for you to play too. Here’s the best ways to keep fire safe in your flat: Keep doorways and hallways free from obstructions Keep fire doors closed and never wedge them open Switch on your cooker extractor fan when you cook Never leave your cooking unattended Don’t start cooking if you’re tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol Never cover a heater or dry your clothes on them Never cover a smoke detector Use the bathroom fan when showering - steam, and even deodorant spray, can set off the smoke alarm Never use faulty electrical equipment Be careful to not overload plug sockets or extension leads when in use (appliances which give off heat should only ever be plugged in alone eg hairdryers etc) And around the building: Keep all exits and hallways clear of any obstructions Never wedge communal fire doors open Report any faults with fire doors or equipment to us as soon as you spot them Never block emergency access to your building Familiarise yourself with fire escapes and your fire assembly point Only use the dedicated smoking areas and never smoke or vape inside And remember, tampering with fire safety equipment is against the law. Don’t tamper with your fire extinguishers, fire alarm system, smoke detectors (including covering them), break-glass and fire exit signs.

What should I do if there’s a fire?

If there’s a fire in your flat, we know this can be scary. No matter how small or big, it’s important to act quickly. Don’t panic and follow these instructions: Get out immediately if you hear the alarm Leave your flat and close all doors behind you Use the stairs, never use the lift Call 999 – never assume someone else has Stay away from your flat until you’re told it’s safe to return There’s also key fire safety information in your flat usually on the back of your door, it’s a good idea to make yourself familiar with this when you arrive. Your fire test day and time, as well as your assembly point, are in your welcome guide. Select your city and choose your property to find specific information for where you live.

How can I prevent false fire alarms?

False activations are frustrating. Not only do they disrupt you, but they can also make others become too relaxed when it comes to hearing the fire alarm. You should never assume a fire alarm is just a false activation, and always evacuate whenever you hear the alarm. There are however a few things you can do to help reduce false alarm activations: Keep the bathroom door closed when showering as steam can activate the fire alarm Use aerosol sprays in the bathroom and turn on the extractor fan Do not cover your bedroom heater with clothes or other items Do not use candles When cooking - open your kitchen windows slightly and keep your kitchen fire door closed. Don’t leave cooking unattended. If your break glass point is damaged, let your Unite Students team know Don’t smoke in the building If you suspect that others might be smoking in the building, let your Unite Students team know

What’s your policy on smoking / vaping?

All of the buildings are non-smoking, so they don’t allow smoking or vaping inside your flat, room or communal areas. They do have some designated outdoor spaces that they ask the residents who smoke or vape to use instead. There are cigarette bins located on site and they ask that residents use these where needed to help keep things tidy.
