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.

The property is working in partnership with Cover4insurance.com and their student insurance, Cover4Students, to provide some cover for the contents inside your room.

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.

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?
