Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible to book with the property?
Do they allow couples to stay/visit?
Do I have to share a kitchen/bathroom in a studio?
As a disabled person with specific living requirements, can the property cater to these?
They make every effort to ensure that their accommodation is accessible for all and will always do everything they can to find suitable accommodation. All buildings have step-free/level access. They can provide information on the availability of disabled parking for customers, accessible WCs in communal areas for visitors, and can adapt studios—including installing grabrails in bathrooms, stair lifts in duplex apartments, visual fire alarms, and assisted door-opening devices if required.
Do I need to bring any furniture?
All apartments come fully furnished with high-quality items that provide ample storage and comfort. Due to fire safety restrictions, residents are not allowed to bring their own furniture or large appliances (e.g. fridges, heaters, air-conditioners).
Do I need to bring my own saucepans, plates, cutlery, etc.?
That’s up to you! There is plenty of storage space if you want to bring your own equipment. However, they also offer excellent starter packs for a one-off cost, which include all the kitchen and apartment essentials and will be waiting in your room upon arrival. Don't forget to order your bedding, bathroom, kitchen, and living essentials for your studio. If you order one of their premium packs, it will be delivered to your studio in time for your move-in date—making packing and shopping easier. Note that studios do not include bedding, so at a minimum, consider ordering a bedding pack directly from them for a comfortable first night's sleep.
Is there Wi-Fi in the building?
All buildings offer a superfast Wi-Fi connection, keeping you connected in your studio, around the residence, or in the hub space. You will also have your own private and secure wireless network. Unlike other providers, not only can you connect each of your devices to the internet, but you can also enable 10 personal SMART devices to discover and connect to each other. This means you can share content between your devices in a private and secure manner—just like at home—knowing that no one else in the building can access them.
Is there a common room?
One of the best aspects of living at the property is the amazing communal space available for all residents. It includes comfortable seating, pool tables, cinema areas, and private study spaces—perfect for both solo and group use.
Will I get a cleaner?
They do not provide a regular cleaning service, but if you’d like to book additional deep cleans, you can speak to a member of the management team who will help you arrange it. The housekeeping team will clean all communal areas but are not responsible for disposing of rubbish, so residents are expected to be mindful and respectful of the building.
Can my friend store their belongings in my room?
Only your belongings are covered by the insurance policy, so to ensure full coverage, it is advised not to store your friend's belongings in your room.
Can I have a guest to stay/visit?
Guests are allowed to stay overnight for up to two consecutive nights. However, they must sign in with the residence team at reception and will not be issued their own key fob. Guests must always be accompanied by the resident and cannot be left alone in the room due to health and safety policies that only residents are fully aware of.
Is the accommodation suitable for mature students?
Absolutely! You can enjoy the privacy of your own studio—without sharing a kitchen—while still benefiting from the social aspects of living in a development with fantastic communal spaces.
Are there specific times of the day that I can move in?
You can move in any time on the date your contract starts. Their team is available 24/7, so you can arrive at any time—day or night—after your contract begins. However, to ensure the best possible experience, it's recommended to book a move-in appointment in advance.
Where can I store my bike?
Bike storage spaces are available at all residences, so you’re welcome to bring yours along.
Can family and friends bring their cars when they visit?
