How do I book a room? 

You can apply to either Arrange a Viewing or Book a Room online. Their Accommodation Team will get right back to you with processes and options available to suit your circumstances.

Signing your contract?

Once you've worked with their team to choose a room, you will be sent a Tenancy Agreement that you sign to secure your room with them. At this point, They require a returnable deposit alongside a non-returnable booking fee. Your deposit is refundable subject to a satisfactory inspection at the end of your stay. This deposit is protected by The Deposit Protection Service for the duration of your tenancy. Your deposit will be protected in the MyDeposits or the DPS, this will depend on the building you reside at, for the duration of your tenancy. If you need any information on the deposit scheme please ask your Accommodation Team.

The information you have supplied will be used to process your application and manage any subsequent Tenancy Agreement accepted by you. Please note that this form only constitutes as an application, and not until your Tenancy Agreement is signed and your deposit paid is your accommodation guaranteed. If you cancel your application after paying the deposit & booking fee you will forfeit both the deposit & booking fee.

Can I share with my friends? 

They understand that friends like to stay together. Therefore if you are applying as a group please:

Make it clear on the application form of the names of your group;

Can I stay for multiple years?

Many of their residents are returning students who just don't want to leave us.

If you choose to stay for more than one year they often offer an early booking incentive.

And if you are staying they can give the rooms a thorough inspection, clean them and attend to any maintenance ready for when you return.

When my rent due? 

They collect your rent four times a year in August, October, January, and April. This allows you to avoid paying one big lump sum and also coincides with the issue of loan payments.
