Can I pay my rent in installments?

We know that not everyone can pay an entire years rent in one go and thats absolutely fine! You're able to pay the rent in three different installments, spaced out throughout the year. We time these payments to match the typical student loan payment dates, just to make life easier.

Can I use my student loan to cover my rent?

Your student loan is yours to do whatever you want with (providing its legal, of course!). Just remember, not everyone's loan will cover the rent for their accommodation, so you'll need to think about how you're going to afford the rest of it before you arrive. We schedule our rent installments to match up with the typical loan payment dates. If you need to reschedule your rent dates we need to see your student loan schedule.

What happens if my student loan isn't paid on time?

We're more than happy to have a chat with you about circumstances like this which are out of your control. Student loans are almost always paid on time, but if they're not, we need you to be proactive and contact both the Student Loans Company and us to try to resolve the issue. 

What happens if I miss a payment?

We hope it doesn't happen, but in the unfortunate scenario that it does, just talk to us. We've worked with students for over 15 years and know things don't always go to plan. Our staff are here to help you to budget and manage your finances. If we cant speak to you about a missed payment, you may incur late charges or face legal action. You also will have given us the details of a Guarantor who well look to collect payments from in the event that you're struggling.

What is a Guarantor and why do I need one?

As part of your Tenancy Agreement with Property Management, you have a duty to pay your rent on time. We understand that sometimes that's just not possible, which is why we ask UK students to back themselves up with a responsible adult that they can trust (and one who trusts them!). Usually, students ask their parents, guardians or another family member to be the Guarantor. We hope you don't need this person, but in case of any late or missed payments, we need their details before you can book a room with us so that we can claim any outstanding balances or monies from them. A Tenancy Agreement is a legally binding contract, and so you need their permission before you get them to take responsibility. Well need some information from them, too, such as their contact details and proof of address which we collect at the point of booking a room with us.
