Is there a cancellation policy?
Before You Have Signed An Agreement If you have paid a holding payment and then decide to not rent the property then you will not be bound an agreement. The holding payment is only refundable in a situation where they have to withdraw the property from you. After Signing An Agreement If you have signed the agreement you are bound by the terms of it and from the start of the tenancy you will be liable for the rent in the agreement. However if you still need to end the agreement you can do so by finding someone to take the agreement over from you. Once they have signed up you will no longer be liable for your part of the agreement. They can help find someone to take over an agreement, however make no promises to be able to and until such a point that a replacement resident is found you remain liable for the rental payments.
How does the guarantor work?
What happens once I sign?
Once you and your guarantor have signed the contract, and the rest of your group if your contract is joint, then it is signed by them and the house is officially yours! They will be in touch a few months out from move in with their resident guide and some other great tips before moving in.
Can I leave early and get the remainder of my rent back?
Unfortunately, you are committed under the tenancy agreement to pay the full rent. If you find a new resident, they’ll let you out of your agreement from the day they move in, and refund you any unused rent that you’ve paid in advance (minus a £50 admin fee)*. They cannot refund your rent until you have found someone to take over your tenancy agreement, their booking is confirmed and they have paid the first instalment of their rent.
What is the payment schedule?
They try to be as flexible as possible with their payment schedules. They understand that for most of their residents it is better to make payments when student loans come in termly. Their termly payments are usually due in the middle of October, January and April with a small payment due at the beginning of the contract prior to moving in. You can also pay monthly if that is easier, they just need to let them know before the contract goes out.

Do I have to pay a deposit to reserve a home with property?
They ask that you pay a small holding payment to secure your home and take it off the market. This is then deducted from your 1st month’s rent. They do not charge a security deposit. This means you don’t have to fork out a large lump sum and worry about it being kept unfairly at the end of your tenancy.
