We cannot be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss arising from accepting mail on students behalf. Although we will make every effort to ensure the students get their mail safely, we will not be responsible if recipients fail to collect their deliveries, packages are stolen or damaged due to circumstances beyond the control of the accommodation team. We also are not responsible for packages that arrive outside office opening hours or when the accommodation team are out of the office.

Paying rent When making a booking, we will ask our students to pay a 250 non-refundable booking fee (with an exception of a 400 booking fee for The Sidings and a 350 for Gallery Apartments). This is to secure the booking of their room and ensure it is held for them. Once the tenancy commences, this booking fee becomes a refundable deposit. It is held in the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, an independent deposit holder. This will be refunded to the student in full at the end of their tenancy if there are no outstanding arrears or damage to their room and/or communal areas.
