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?
What details from the guarantor do I need to provide when booking?
We 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, we 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, we know that upfront payment can be a big ask and in these circumstances we 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?

How many people can share each flat?
Our shared flats range between all of our properties. If you need any further information about how many rooms would be in each flat at your individual residence please contact your individual site team for further information.
Can I choose which flat I would like to be allocated to?
When booking directly with us, you choose which room to book into within each building, you can also see your flatmates preferences to see if you think they would be suitable flatmates for you. This gives you more control over who you will be living with.
Can I find out who my flatmates are before I move in?
While we can let you know the ages and genders of your future flatmates, we cannot provide their names or any other personal information. This information is present during the self-select process on line.
However, you can find your flatmates through our Facebook pages, or through your University’s social media – it’s a great way of getting to know everyone in your flat before you’ve even moved in!

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? we're here to help!
When it comes to your bedroom, please note that we do not provide bedding. We suggest you bring along a duvet, pillows and bed linen. You may also want to bring clothes hangers, towels and a laundry bin.
While we provide some kitchen appliances, we 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 – we recommend this as a cheaper option which would also avoid cluttering the kitchen with multiple items.
For a full list of what we 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.
Can I park on-site?
Car parking requirements are different at all of our properties therefore it is best to check with the individual site teams when booking for further information on parking.

No, smoking is a fire hazard and so for the safety and comfort of everyone, smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes/vapes is forbidden in either your room, the communal areas of your flats or any other internal area of the building. There are designated smoking areas in the grounds of every building which you are welcome to use.

As a tenant of a Property site you are more than welcome to invite guests to your accommodation for up to 2 nights at a time. If your guest is staying overnight, please let a staff member know.
