The Vantage, Nottingham

If you turn 18 in the first semester of university, they can accept your booking at properties where there is 24/7 security available. An adult over the age of 18 must be a co-signatory on your tenancy agreement and must accept the terms of it. They can accept under 18s in some of their properties subject to their policy for students under the age of 18.

When applying for a room, you will be asked a series of questions to determine the type of room/flat that you require, along with any special requests you may have. Please note that special requests cannot be guaranteed except where you have a disability as defined and covered under the Equality Act 2010. They will attempt to meet your allocation needs as far as practically possible if you have a defined disability. If you have a disability, medical condition, or special request that affects your accommodation requirement, please inform them in the additional notes section when completing your application, either online or by paper form. You are encouraged to disclose any special requests for your stay, such as your preferences regarding culture, religion, sex, gender, etc., to enable them to make an informed decision about your room allocation. Where appropriate, an applicant may be prioritized through the allocation categories as a result of disclosing a disability to them.

You must be a full-time student to live with them. You can book with them whether you have a conditional or unconditional offer. However, please be aware of their cancellation policy before booking if your place at university is not yet confirmed.

No pets of any kind are permitted at property, except registered assistance dogs.

You can bring most of your belongings, but some electricals aren't suitable for their properties. Non-UK-compliant electricals, such as rice cookers, are not suitable for use with UK power outlets, and this can cause fire risks.

If you are applying to live with friends, please ensure that you follow their ‘create application’ link online, list the friends that you would like to live with, and they will then contact them and make the arrangements for you.

You would need to make a formal request to the accommodation team of the property you are residing in. If you request to move rooms during your tenancy, you will also be issued new documents confirming the details of the room move, which you will need to sign or accept online. If your new room is more expensive, you and your guarantor will be liable for the higher rent from the date you are given access to it.

Your room is yours for the full contract period, and you don’t need to move out during academic breaks.

Contents insurance is included at some properties, which will be shown on the property page. Details of the insurance can be obtained from the property manager when you check in. If you wish to confirm whether the property offers contents insurance, please contact the property team directly. They advise taking out contents insurance if it is not included at your property. Property is not liable for the loss or damage of your personal belongings and room contents.

If you are a qualifying full-time student, you will be exempt from paying council tax. You must provide them with your council tax exemption certificate, which your university will be able to arrange. If you do not have this when you move in because you have not yet enrolled in your course, please ensure that you bring with you the name of your university and your university student ID number.

On-site car parking is available at some properties but is not included in the rental price unless explicitly stated and confirmed in writing. Payments for car parking permits are separate from your tenancy agreement. Please speak to the property team if you wish to purchase a car parking space. Car parking spaces are very limited and are strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.

Yes, they do. Property uses ProtectionMark as the provider.

For help and advice on dealing with stress and your mental health, please visit the Student Minds website. Here, you will have access to many resources, including short videos, podcasts, and guides that you can use at home. Student Minds is the UK’s leading student mental health charity, and property is proud to be their charity partner.

All utility bills such as gas, electricity, and water are included in your rent (excluding Aspen Student Living). Unlimited Wi-Fi* is also included. Your TV licence is not included in your rent, as this is not classed as a utility, and it is your responsibility to purchase. All their properties offer a Wi-Fi connection at the stated level** included within the rent, and there is no additional charge for using the on-site internet. Some providers may offer more services and packages at an additional charge, which you are under no obligation to use. If you choose to add additional features to your internet package, that relationship is between you and the service provider directly and does not fall under the terms of your tenancy.

All rent that is due must have been paid when you check in. If you are having difficulties or this will be a problem, please contact the property as early as possible, and they will assist you.

If you are unable to provide your own UK guarantor, they recommend the service of Housing Hand.

To be a guarantor, you must:
Be a resident in the UK (or Ireland if Aspen) for a minimum of 1 year Be over 21 years of age Be a homeowner or in full-time employment Provide a copy of photographic identification, such as a passport, driving licence, or ID badge Provide a copy of proof of your UK address, which must be less than 3 months old, such as a utility bill (e.g., electricity, water, gas, telephone), a bank statement, or a council tax bill.

You can defer your rent instalments to align with your student loan payments if you wish. All requests for deferred payments must be made by August 1st in each academic year to the property team. You will be required to provide evidence of your student loan schedule to the property team for the payment plan to be set up. You will be required to pay two weeks' rent 14 days before your contract start date, which will be deducted from the balance of your first instalment on the agreed date. A one-off admin fee of £50 will be charged and payable with the initial two-week rent payment, and this £50 admin fee will not be deducted from the balance of rent due. Please note deferring your rent must be pre-arranged and agreed with the property manager before your move-in date. If no arrangement has been made, rent is due as per your tenancy agreement.

They may be able to accept sponsors in place of guarantors in some cases. However, this depends on the terms of your sponsorship and whether your sponsor is willing to guarantee rent payments. If you are a sponsored student, please contact your chosen property directly to enquire about using a sponsor in place of a guarantor.

Deposits vary by property, and your deposit is placed into a deposit protection scheme, where it is held safely throughout the academic year and will be returned to you at the end of your contract subject to the contract terms.

Your deposit will be returned to you after your tenancy agreement has ended and your room has been inspected. The amount returned to you will depend on any outstanding charges and any damage found in your room or the communal areas of your apartment. Please see your tenancy agreement for more information. The deposit can take up to 28 working days to be credited at the end of your tenancy period. All deposits are secured with a deposit protection scheme, such as the Tenancy Deposit Scheme or Safe Deposits Scotland. You will be contacted by the deposit protection scheme and asked to authorise the refund and submit your bank details to them. For this you will require your deposit repayment ID, which will have been sent to you via email at the time of registering your deposit.
