Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need from my student accommodation?
Before you book, it's worth considering what exactly you're looking for - and what you need - from your student accommodation.
What room type should I choose?
From en-suites to studios, We have a range of room types to choose from. Discover the differences to make your choice.
Can I live with my friends?
You can live with your friends. Whether you want to live with your best mates or newfound friends, there are room type options to suit your living style. They even have a dedicated Group Booking function on their website so you and your mates can book a whole flat, together.
Do you offer postgraduate student accommodation?
Accommodation are available to all university students, no matter their year of study. While they don’t have postgraduate-only properties, many of their properties feature studio rooms which are popular with postgraduate students who want a more independent experience of student living.
Can I rebook the room?
You can choose to keep your current room or a different one. If you fancy a change and want to book a new room type, this can either be at your current accommodation or another city.
When can I arrive?
Your tenancy agreement, which was signed at the point of you accepting your accommodation, will show the date that your tenancy begins – which is also your arrival date.
Depending on availability, some accomodations do offer early arrival. They know that plans change, sometimes unexpectedly, which is why they offer flexible tenancies
Can I change my room if I don't like mine?
The Accommodation teams will match you to a room and flat based on any additional requirements you have outlined in your booking, but this can’t always be guaranteed.
Can I bring guests into the property?
Guests may stay for a maximum of three nights per week, unless otherwise approved by the accommodation team.
What's covered by my insurance policy?
You’ll need to register to enable your policy and see:
- What is and isn’t covered
- Key exclusions - where cover isn’t provided
- Policy excess – the amount you pay when you make a claim
- How to make a claim
- Personalise cover
How do I report an act of anti-social behaviour?
The accommodation teams are available 24/7 to support you with any concerns around anti-social behaviour in your property. You can contact the residence team via the property telephone, live chat or email or speak to one of the team in reception. They can then take appropriate action. This might include speaking to the resident(s) in question about the obligations in their tenancy agreement and the effect of their behaviour on others, or informing their guarantor, university or other authorities. If you witness an incident where there is immediate risk to others, you should alert emergency services by ringing 999 immediately.
What room type can I book with friends?
Shared flat
This is the most common room type booked by a group of friends. Shared flats, with or without individual en-suites, go from three bedrooms to ten, so you can live with a smaller or bigger group of friends. You will need to speak to your property team directly about their shared flat availability, to make sure you’re booking the one that’s right for you.
Two-bedroom apartment
If it’s just you and one other mate, then you might prefer a two-bedroom
apartment rather than a shared flat. You’ll have your own bedrooms and a shared bathroom and kitchen/living area, which will be easier to keep tidy with just two of you! Only select properties have two-bedroom apartments, so be sure to double check on the property page when making your booking.
Do both residents have to be students?
Yes, to qualify for dual occupancy both the lead customer and the second tenant must be enrolled at university.
How do I request an accessible room?
During the first part of the booking process, there is the option to request an accessible room. This enables our property teams to find the most suitable room for you that meets all your needs.
How do I let you know about additional requirements?
There is a dedicated ‘Additional information’ section during the booking process, which allows you to make a note of your living preferences and any additional requirements you might need. Once you have completed your booking, your property team will be able to see the information you have added and allocate you a room based on your preferences.
When should I book my accommodation?
It’s never too early to secure your accommodation! Booking early gives you peace of mind that you’ve got one of the most important parts of the uni to-do list ticked off.
If you’re already living with the property, rebooking your room as soon as booking opens means you can secure the same room you’re currently got. Plus, you don’t have to pack all your belongings and move them to another room!
As a resident of the property, you can quickly and easily rebook your room by getting in touch with the amber agent.
What do I need to look for when finding last-minute accommodation?
The location of the property and its facilities are an important factor to consider, especially if you’re moving to a new city. Whether you're going to be studying on campus full-time or mixing it up in a blended learning environment, you're going to need to get to know the city you'll be moving to.
In terms of living space, some key things to think about when looking for last-minute student accommodation include:
- How close the accommodation is to your university campus and the city centre
- What extra facilities are available: study rooms, communal social areas, gyms etc.
- What room type would make you feel the most comfortable living away from home
I don’t like my room/flat – can I change to another?
The property team never want you to dislike where you live and if they can do something to make your living experience better, they will.
They would always advise speaking to your property team directly if you would like to change/move rooms. They will be able to see the room availability, so they can advise you of any empty rooms that you can swap to.
It’s important to note that they can’t offer a room which is graded lower than your current room. For example, if you are in an en-suite silver room but the only available spare rooms in the property are en-suite bronze, we wouldn’t be able to make the swap. However, you can upgrade if there is availability: for example, moving from an en-suite silver to an en-suite gold.
My additional requests weren’t met – what can I do?
When additional requests are made during the booking process, the property teams try their best to accommodate as many requests as possible. These requests aren’t guaranteed and are dependent on the availability at your property.
Can I access free Wi-Fi during my stay?
Essays to write, gaming to stream. Rest assured you'll stay connected with free Wi-Fi across all of the buildings.
Keeping you connected with friends and family, while ensuring you can study uninterrupted, is a key part of the living experience at the property.

How do I join the Wi-Fi in my property?

How do I connect my devices to the Wi-Fi in my property?

Who do I log a maintenance issue with?
You will need to let your property team know, either in-person at reception, or via email, telephone call or via the property app, when you have a maintenance issue.
They will make sure this is logged on the maintenance system for the dedicated in-house maintenance team to investigate and fix. Try to provide as much detail as possible when logging a maintenance request, as this will help the team to gather the correct tools needed or receive assistance from an external contractor where required.
How long does it take for an issue to be fixed?
This can depend on the severity of the issue, however the property team aim to respond to emergency repairs within 4 hours.
How do I know if my maintenance request is an emergency?
When your request is logged onto their system by the residence team, it is automatically graded based on priority. For example, an emergency request would be an overflowing toilet or loss of water/heating, whereas a moderate request could be a lightbulb change or a request for an extra piece of furniture.
Why do you need assistance from an external contractor when you have an in-house maintenance team?
If the property team need to ask an external contractor or specialist to investigate your maintenance issue further, they will always let you know. This usually happens when problems are identified with materials and services such as main entrance doors, lifts, electricity, water or CCTV. Where possible, the property maintenance teams will try their best to fix the issue without support from an external contractor.
I'm concerned about my mental health. What support is available?
