Frequently Asked Questions

When can I book for the 2024/25 academic year?

Bookings for 2024/25 are open now! The easiest way to book is online because their website shows you live availability. A few of their room types are already sold out, but if you don't see the type of studio flat you want, you can still register your interest and let them know your budget by talking to their online chat team.

Why do I need to accept Terms and Conditions when booking?

The Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) set out the agreement between you and property management Student Accommodation. It is a legal way to ensure both sides know what agreement is being entered into when a booking is made. This is a binding contract, so they ask you to accept (tick a box) to confirm you have read and accepted the T&Cs before paying any money. You will not be able to proceed until you have ticked the box.

How much do I need to pay?

You can reserve your room by paying one week's rent (refundable holding deposit) online, on the phone or in the office. The deposit is deducted from your first rent instalment. They will then prepare a tenancy agreement for you to sign detailing the instalment dates.  Payment options - They offer three ways to pay.
4 instalments: If you know someone who is a homeowner in England (including the Isle of Wight or Isle of Man), Wales or the Channel Islands  and is willing to be your Guarantor, you can pay your rent in 4 easy instalments.  If you are on a 4 instalment plan you payment dates will be 24th July, 24th October, 24th January, 24th April. 2 instalments: If you do not have a Guarantor, they will split your payments into 2.   For a 2 instalment plan your payment dates are  24th July and 24th October.  This is a popular choice with EU or International students. Pay in full: If you would like to pay your rent in one lump sum, that is not a problem. The easiest way to pay is via your student portal (which is set up once you have made a booking) but they also accept payment by most leading debit/credit cards. If you prefer to pay via a bank transfer, they can also arrange this but note, your bank may charge for this service.
Booking after 25 April? You will need to pay your £400 Refundable Tenancy Deposit following your booking. their team will contact you to make this payment asap.

Can I request which block or floor I want?

  • A set and accountable procedure for dealing with any disputes or complaints will be in operation. 

How long is my contract?

Because their accommodation is so affordable, your total cost can still work out cheaper than living elsewhere with a shorter contract. However, they may also have some "late availability" rooms where you can move in immediately. These often have shorter contract lengths.

Depending on the length of your placement, you can rebook the same room year on year. The property offers 2 contract lengths; 48-week contracts and 51-week contracts. The longer one helps if you want to stay over the summer. Because their accommodation is so affordable, your total cost can still work out cheaper than living elsewhere with a shorter contract.

Can I renew my contract every year for the same room?

  • Internet Bills. Internet speeds are up to 200mpbs wired and uploads/downloads are unlimited.
  • For electricity, you can either go exclusive where you are billed monthly, or for a package which is £15 extra per week and includes a set number of units.

What is a waitlist booking?

Their rooms are very popular and sell out fast. If the room you are interested in is sold out, you can sometimes make a ‘waitlist booking’. When waitlist bookings are live they will show in the dropdown menu of the room booking page. If you do not see a waitlist booking option, this means it is not currently available. Using the waitlist system means you get a priority booking – securing a room before it’s re-released on their website. When you make a waitlist booking, they will take all your personal information and your credit/debit card details, but your card will not be charged until a room becomes available. However, the holding deposit (equivalent to one week's rent) will be marked as a “pending” payment by your bank or credit card provider, meaning you cannot use it for other payments. A waitlist booking is processed automatically, so it is helpful if you really don’t want to miss out on a room but can’t keep checking their website for availability. They will then contact you to make other payments, and you can decide how to pay these. If within 30 days there is no room available, your waitlist booking will be automatically cancelled. Please note: There is no guarantee a room will become available, but if it does, you will receive an email confirming your booking and information on the next steps. They also recommend you only make one waitlist booking, choosing your preferred room type.

Should I make a waitlist booking or a "live" booking?

Their website advertises the “live availability” of rooms. If a room is available, you can book it immediately. But to help, they also offer waitlist bookings on a limited number of sold-out rooms. These only appear when a room is sold out. So if you don't see this option, it's because they still have rooms available. Why go for a waitlist booking? 
A waitlist booking is great if you don’t want to keep checking the website but it is not a guaranteed, completed, or confirmed booking. Someone would need to decide to cancel their room first for a waitlist booking to become available. Because they do not know when or if this will happen, they leave it up to you on whether to make a “live” (guaranteed) booking or waitlist one. It’s important to remember, they also allocate students into waitlist rooms based on your position on the waitlist and a waitlist booking expires after 30 days. 

So if you are low on a waitlist booking – or a room doesn’t become available – you could end up with no room at all. They ask everyone to consider whether they want to book a “live” room or make a waitlist booking and take the chance another option may become available.

Can I change my room type after I have booked?

If you have booked a room, but haven't signed your tenancy agreement yet, they may be able to look at changing your room type for you. If you wish to do so, you need to contact the office which will look into it for you. If you have already signed your tenancy agreement, you would need to go through the process of cancelling your booking and following the cancellation procedure. Please refer to the next FAQ for more information on cancelling your booking. 

What happens if I want to cancel my booking?

How much they can help will depend on the timing and the circumstances of your cancellation. If you have made a booking you will have accepted their Terms and Conditions which outline the cancellation policy. 
You will need to email them within 7 days from the date of your booking if you wish to cancel. Once 7 days have passed or you have accepted your online Tenancy Agreement, there is no further ‘cooling off period’. Please read the T&Cs for full details. If you have signed your Tenancy Agreement (view a draft Tenancy Agreement) you will be charged an Early Termination Fee. The exact amount will depend on when you are cancelling. You need to get in touch and tell them straight away if you wish to cancel.

Is this management Student Accommodation suitable for first year students?

They welcome students from their very first year at University through to their very last, which is why they have a wide and diverse range of students within the property community. If you would like your own room (with a private bathroom) but want to share a kitchen and lounge with other students, their en-suite rooms at CODE Harper Road, Coventry, would be a great choice. Plus with our free gym, communal areas, and a host of free social and fitness events, there are plenty of chances to meet new people and new friends. 

What is your Fresher's Promise?

Our Fresher's Promise means that all money you have paid for your contract will be fully refundable if you do not meet the conditions of your University Offer (for example you do not get the grades needed) and you no longer have a place*. This applies if you are starting a new course - including undergraduate degrees (including Top-up degrees) and Postgraduate/Masters degrees. It does not count towards a continuing course (for example going from year 2 to year 3). All they ask is that you email the relevant communication from UCAS and/or your University before Friday 23rd August 2024. The evidence you provide must clearly show the date you accepted the offer and the date and details of the rejection. *Please note: 

  • You must already have a confirmed offer from your university (and have accepted this offer as your first choice, sometimes referred to as your "Firm" choice) when you book for the Fresher's Promise to apply.
  • If your place has been withdrawn as a result of any breach of the university’s Code of Conduct regarding behaviour – or as a result of a potential or actual breach of the conditions contained within the tenancy agreement – this offer will not apply.

Can I move in earlier that the start date on my tenancy agreement?

They can see if it's possible for you to be able to check in early, but this is not something they can guarantee as it depends on whether the current tenant has left and all cleaning/decorating has been completed. It is best to contact the office or their live chat function nearer the time of your desired check in and they will see what they can do for you. 

Do you have a service for purchasing essential items for my room?

Why do you have an onsite Police room?

The property management Beat Office is an initiative with their local Police Station to make sure students feel comfortable in the community and get to know the Police well. It's a great way for their students to find out advice and help with crime prevention in the area. The Beat Office also presents a real deterrent to anybody considering entering the site uninvited.
