We may have a waiting list of people that would like to take over your licence agreement which would then relinquish you from your contract. If you find a new Licensee, we'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 350 admin fee). We cannot refund your rent until you have found someone to take over your licence agreement, their booking is confirmed and they have paid the first instalment of their rent.

For our properties in England we ask for a non-refundable holding deposit (100-250 depending on the location) to allocate you a room. Unfortunately, we cannot refund the holding deposit under any circumstances. When you move in your holding deposit will turn into a damage deposit and will be returned at the end of your license [minus any damages]. you will be required to top up the holding deposit prior to move in to make the deposit up to GBP 250.
Can I transfer my booking to a different Student Castle?
Its possible that youll be able to transfer from one Student Castle to another before moving in, but this completely depends on what we have available.

If you need to request a transfer, contact the site manager at your original Student Castle location.
Can I change my room?
If youd like to change your room once youve moved in, well do our best to accommodate you (providing were not fully booked). Any moves will incur a 50 admin fee.
