Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have to pay advanced rent?
This secures your booking, so that you can take a little bit of time to complete your contract without worrying.
Why do I need a guarantor?
A guarantor commits to ensuring that the terms of the tenancy agreement are complied with. Guarantors provide us with additional financial security in the event of a change in your circumstance. If you would like to pay in instalments throughout the year, you will need a UK based guarantor.
Who can be a guarantor?
In what situations might we contact the guarantor?
Circumstances change, they understand that. A guarantor provides assurance to them as your landlords, that there is someone on hand who understands and accepts the responsibility of rent, should you be unable to pay.
What details from the guarantor do I need to provide when booking?
They will need a Name, current UK address, email address and a contact number. Once you have signed the contract your guarantor will be asked to accept the agreement and provide proof of ID and address. If they are not a UK national but reside in the UK they must provide proof of settled status.
What can I do, if I don’t have a guarantor?
Don’t worry if you do not have a guarantor, they do have other options available for you. Full payment contracts are available. This would mean your rental is payable upfront at the start of your tenancy and therefore no need for a guarantor. However, they know that upfront payment can be a big ask and in these circumstances they can recommend an approved UK rent guarantor service. Please speak to your individual site team if you are looking to use a rent guarantor service.
What do I do if there is a problem with my room or flat?
How can I obtain the instructions on appliances within my flat?
Are there staff available onsite?

When can I move in?
If you booked directly with us, you will be able to move in on your tenancy start date, please check your tenancy agreement for confirmation of this, or contact the accommodation team at the site you have booked.
Can I move in earlier than my tenancy start date?
How long can I live with Property?
Property offers tenancies of different lengths, including short-term contracts. The minimum stay is 4 weeks, and all short term lets are subject to availability and must be paid in advance. If you are interested in a short-term contract, please contact the site directly.
When can I move out?

Do I need a guarantor?
To book with them you will need a guarantor. However, please note your guarantor must be in a position to pay any rent due if you are struggling to pay your rent or your student loan is late. If you have any questions about nominating a guarantor, please get in touch and they be happy to advise further. If you pay your rent in full upfront, we may be able to offer you a non-guarantor option. Please contact them prior to making your application to discuss.
How many people can share each flat?

Can I choose which flat I would like to be allocated to?

Can I find out who my flatmates are before I move in?
While they can let you know the ages and genders of your future flatmates, they cannot provide their names or any other personal information. This information is present during the self-select process on line.

Can I book with my friends?
If you’re planning on living with your friends, you’re in luck! You can all book together via our self selection process so you will be guaranteed the same flat together.
What do I need to bring with me that my accommodation doesn’t already provide?
Unsure of what you need to bring for your bedroom? they're here to help! When it comes to your bedroom, please note that they do not provide bedding. They suggest you bring along a duvet, pillows and bed linen. You may also want to bring clothes hangers, towels and a laundry bin. While they provide some kitchen appliances, they do suggest each tenant brings their own crockery, cutlery and other kitchen utensils. Upon arrival, most students living in shared flats arrange with their flatmates to buy some communal items – they recommend this as a cheaper option which would also avoid cluttering the kitchen with multiple items. For a full list of what they advise you to bring, check out your student handbook. If you are unable to bring certain items with you, don’t panic – there are plenty of shops close by where you can find the things you need.
