Frequently Asked Questions

Can I live with my friends or specify preferences for my flatmates?

Of course! Just state your friend’s names on your application, with them doing the same too. You can also say if you have a preferred gender or year of study for your flatmates. They’ll try their best to meet your preferences but it’s not always guaranteed and is subject to availability.

What payments do I need to make when applying?

When applying to live with them, there are no fees to pay. This makes it easier for you to book your perfect room!

When do I pay my tenancy deposit?

Once you sign your AST (contract), you will be asked to pay a tenancy deposit.

Is my deposit protected?

Once you have paid your tenancy deposit, they have 30 days to protect this under a Tenancy Deposit Scheme. The scheme property use is called My Deposits. You will receive an email from My Deposits on how to activate your account with them, ready to claim back the deposit at the end of your tenancy (you can only claim back the deposit as long as there’s no damage to your room/flat and there’s no outstanding payments on your account).

What is a guarantor? Do I need one?

If you’re paying ahead for the full year, you don’t need a UK guarantor. However, if you wish to pay your rent by instalments, you will need a UK-based guarantor who is aged 21 or over and in full-time employment. They’ll also need to annually earn at least 3 times your total rent amount, or be a homeowner. Your guarantor must agree to pay the rent should you default on your payment. Providing a guarantor is common practice in the UK and provides them with the security and knowledge that the rent will be paid in full and on time. If you cannot provide a qualified UK guarantor, you can contact Housing Hand to provide you with the Guarantor Service. Housing Hand specialises in dealing with International Students who cannot provide a Guarantor in the UK.
