Payment and Fees
1. The property requires you to pay £250 at the time of booking, or £1,000 if you are a Pathways student. 2. This will be offset against your first rental installment.
All Pathways students must provide a guarantor, typically a parent or guardian aged 18 or older. The guarantor does not need to be based in the UK. The guarantor is responsible for addressing any tenancy issues, including non-payment of rent, if the student fails to meet their obligations. Non-Pathways students will also need a guarantor if they wish to pay their rent in instalments. The guarantor must be a UK resident, not a student, and must confirm their ability to cover rent payments if the student is unable to. If they do not have a UK-based guarantor, they are advised to use Housing Hand, a service that can act as their guarantor for a fee. Students who pay their rent in full are exempt from needing a guarantor.
Credit and debit card.

For all other students, the property offers 2 payment options: 1. Payment in full (does not require a guarantor) 2. Payment in instalments (requires a UK guarantor or guarantor services).
