    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why should I live at the property?

    They want you to have the best student experience possible. That means going beyond just providing somewhere comfy and practical to live; they want you to live somewhere you feel safe and happy. And they have onsite teams on-hand 24/7 to ensure that’s the case.

    Consequently, they’re a Platinum Certified Operator by the Global Student Living Index. So, the question should really be, why should I not stay at the property?

    Do I have to be a student to live in this property?

    To take out a tenancy with them you need to be eligible for council tax exemption. This applies to all full-time students and some part-time students. However, if you’re unsure, your university or college should be able to let you know. During the summer months some of their halls offer summer accommodation which is available to students and sometimes non-students as well.

    Do I need to take out contents insurance?

    No, you do not. Contents insurance is automatically included with your rent. The property is working in partnership with Cover4insurance.com and their student insurance, Cover4Students, to provide some cover for the contents inside your room. You don’t need to do anything to activate this cover, but it is important for you to check and ensure that you fully understand the protection provided and whether it is sufficient for your needs.

    Visit Cover4Insurance to:

    • Check your level of cover
    • Review key exclusions and limitations
    • Check your policy excess
    • Learn how to make a claim
    • Extend and personalise your cover to protect additional items such as bicycles, musical instruments and photographic equipment

    The property share your details with Cover4insurance for the purpose of providing you with contents insurance.

    Can I connect to the internet?

    Absolutely. A super-fast internet connection is available in every bedroom.

    Do I need to move out during the holidays?

    Your property contract is for a fixed length of time – so your room is yours during that period. That means that you don’t have the hassle of moving your belongings out during the Christmas or Easter vacations, and you can choose to stay in your property over these holidays if you want. It’s usually possible to book additional accommodation over the summer period if you want to stay then too. But we advise booking early to ensure rooms are available.

    Do you have staff at your properties?

    The residence has a team of trained staff on site to respond to meet your needs. Their job is to make your property experience as enjoyable as possible.

    Their on-site management offices are open Monday to Friday. During these times they will answer any questions, respond to any issues and offer advice, as well as ensure a friendly face is there to greet you every day.

    They also have a highly skilled team of caretakers who are available around the clock. They’re there to resolve any maintenance issues quickly and efficiently – keeping the site safe and secure. Security guards also support the caretaker team on most sites to ensure there’s a 24/7 presence. Please check at your chosen location to confirm details.

    While most students settle into living away from home quickly, they understand it can take a little longer for some than others. So, while their tenancy agreement limits how far they can get involved, their people are trained to offer advice that helps residents to overcome a range of issues.

    For your peace of mind, all their people are criminal record background checked.

    When is the management office open?

    The management office is open Monday to Friday, each week. The opening hours are 9am-6pm Monday-Thursday and 9am-5pm on a Friday*.

    • please check with your chosen location for full details as times can vary from hall to hall.

    Their team takes safety seriously. Many of their properties have a member of staff or security guard on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to ensure help is always at hand should the need arise. Please check with your chosen location to see if this service is available.

    In addition, electronic door entry systems, intercoms and CCTV ensure that everyone who lives with them enjoys a high standard of security and the safest possible environment. So they can get on with enjoying themselves.

    What happens if I have a maintenance problem?

    The property has a dedicated caretaker team to respond to and solve your maintenance issues. They respond to every issue quickly and, if possible, will complete the repair during the first visit. Of course, this isn’t always possible and there are times when parts need to be ordered or external contractors arranged. When this happens, they’ll keep you updated on the progress.
