Frequently Asked Questions

Will I Need a Guarantor?

Most of our properties require residents to have a guarantor. This person will need to commit to paying the rent if you aren’t able to so please make sure you discuss this with them. They do not have to live in the UK but must be over 18 and not live in a property. Once you have signed the contract your guarantor will be asked to provide proof of ID and their address and also sign a copy of the agreement. Some of our properties are able to offer the option to make your full years payment upfront and not have a guarantor. Please speak to our Residents’ Team to check if this is available at your chosen property.What is the Advance Rent?  Most of their properties require applicants to pay an advance rent at the time of booking. This is refundable should you decide to cancel within the cooling off period or later find your place has been withdrawn or you are not able to obtain a visa to enter the UK. The advance rent will show as a payment towards your first rent instalment on your account.How Can I Choose the Best Room For Me?  They want you to choose a room you are going to be happy living in and they know everyone has a different wish list – from the floor the room is on to the view and the amenities in the room, their Residents’ Team will be on hand to discuss this with you and help you make the best selection.

What Size is a Small Double Bed?

Their room descriptions explain whether you will have a standard or small double bed. A small double is the same length as the standard but just a tiny bit narrower. Also known as a 3/4 size bed, small doubles measure approx. 120cm wide x 190cm long. Still plenty of room for a good night's sleep, even if there's two of you sharing.

I Have a Medical Condition Which Means I Have Certain Requirements for My Room?

Please get in touch with their Residents’ Team – they are experts on their properties and most have rooms with varying levels of adaptations so their team will be able to help you. If you book online, and you indicate you have a medical condition, the booking process will automatically pause so you can speak with us.

What If I Want to Cancel My Booking?

Please refer to your chosen properties' Terms and Conditions for details of when and how you are able to cancel. Their Residents’ Team will be happy to discuss this with you if you have any questions.

How Will I Know When Payments Are Due?

All your payment dates are listed in your agreement and on their website. It’s really important you understand these payments must be made on time.

How Can I Make Payment?

They recommend using their Residents’ App to make payment – its quick and easy and can be completed in a few clicks. If you don’t have access to a smartphone, you can log into their Residents’ Portal on a laptop.

Bank transfers take longer to reach us so any payments made using this method will need to be done in advance.

Will I Need to Pay a Deposit?

They ask all residents to pay a Tenancy Deposit – please check your agreement for the date this payment will be due. The good news is that you will get the Tenancy Deposit back at the end of the tenancy if nothing is owing for damages or outstanding rent.

Deposits are fully secured by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (Custodial) in England and Wales or the My Deposits Scheme in Scotland. In the Republic of Ireland your Booking Fee automatically converts into your Damages Deposit at the start of the tenancy.

When Can I Move In?

Do I Need a TV Licence?

Yes, unless they tell you they are covering it, if you watch or record programmes as they are being shown, watch catch up TV such as iPlayer or watch live TV online you will need a license.

Can I Invite Guests to Stay In My Room?
