Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included in the price?

All your utility bills – water, electric, gas, internet, gym and use of all the social spaces – are included in the price. There are no hidden charges, what you see on your contract is what you pay (besides any damage to the room or fines you incur).

Am I allowed to have guests to stay?

You are welcome to have guests through the daytime, and an overnight guest for a reasonable amount of nights. You'll need to get permission from management for an extended period. They will need to provide a form of ID to check in through your resident portal, and you will be responsible for them throughout their stay. Please note, you will also need written consent from management if your overnight guest is under 18 years of age.

How secure is the accommodation?

They have CCTV in and around each property, an electronic key entry system for the main entrance, common areas, each flat and bedroom. There is also staff on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Will I need to pay council tax?

In the UK, students are exempt from paying council tax – you won’t need to pay this, but if the council do mistakenly bill you, you will need to provide details to prove that you are in full time education.

Do I need a tv licence?

If you bring your own TV, or want to watch or record programmes as they are shown live (including on mobile phones, tablets or computers), you will need to apply and pay for a TV License. This also includes TV's provided by the management.

What if something in my flat breaks?

If you’re having any problems with your room, a shared living space, or one of the communal areas, you have two options. You can log the issue using the resident portal, providing details so their maintenance team can get this sorted for you as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can come down to your reception and talk to a member of staff so they can log it on your behalf.

Can I have pets?

Unfortunately, you are not allowed to keep any pets in your room or any shared living spaces.

What happens if I don’t get on with my new flat mates?

They want your university experience to be as positive as possible – if you are having any issues with flat mates, please let them know. They will do their best to help resolve any problems you might be having.

Can I receive post and parcels?

Each flat has its own lockable mailbox located in the lobby - your room keycard will also give you access to this. If any larger packages, or anything that requires a signature arrives for you, they’ll hold onto it and let you know via text or email so you can come and collect it. For security reasons, you will need to provide photo ID and give a signature to confirm collection. Post will not be given out to other residents on your behalf without written authorisation

Can I live with my friends?

We are more than happy to accommodate groups as well as individuals. Let us know who you’re planning to live with, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you in the same flat.

Is there an age limit for booking accommodation with the management?

As a minimum age requirement, property residents need to have be or have turned 18 during their tenancy with them. This is due to the legally binding tenancy agreement that each resident is required to sign before arrival. They have no upper age limits on their accommodation, so long as the resident is in full time education for the duration of their stay.

What appliances and furniture are included in my room?

All rooms come with a bed, desk and chair. Extras such as kettles, toasters and lamps are not provided.

The Heights is just the perfect uni student accommodation! I had the pleasure of staying here in my first year and loved it so much that I am now staying in my second year, and I have also signed up to stay next year for my third year of uni too! The staff are very friendly and helpful to me and have always been quick to sort out any problems that I have had while being here (but there haven't been many). They always host social events and never fail to provide us weekly with free food and drinks in reception to keep us all going! I would definitely recommend The Heights for uni accommodation.

The staff are lovely and helpful. Security is chill, the flats are decent, and there’s a gym which is great. It’s a very social place, great for new students wanting to make friends. Ordering parcels and fast food is so easy, and we’re not directly in the centre of Birmingham, which is nice. But still so close to everything you need such as shops, uni campus and nightclubs.

I am really enjoying staying at The Heights, the reception staff and management are always so very helpful, and when I have any maintenance issues, they are resolved the same day, which really helps. The social space is a great place to study and to spend time with friends. I really like the fact that it is open 24 hours. The gym is amazing, I do not live far from the gym, but I am able to go during the day and night as this is also open 24 hours. The Heights is such a friendly place to live, and I always enjoy the social events they hold. I am really excited to be living here for my second year and hope to have the same experience.
