Frequently Asked Questions

Do I pay a booking fee or advance rent?

They ask for an advance rent payment (£100 to £300 depending on the location) to allocate you a room. For their properties in England, this will be deducted from the first instalment or payment which is due before the tenancy start date. For their properties in Scotland, this will deducted from the first instalment or payment due on the tenancy start date.

How do I sign my copy of the Licence Agreement?

Once you’ve accepted an offer, you’ll be sent a link to Adobe EchoSign’s secure electronic signature system. You need to use this to sign your Licence Agreement electronically, after which you’ll need to upload your documentation. At this point they will confirm your booking and you can make your first rental payment. If you have a guarantor they’ll also need to sign and upload their ID/proof of address – (only once you have signed). They perform a credit check on all guarantors. They accept passports, driving licences and national identification cards as valid proof of ID. You will receive an electronic copy (signed by us) on your move in day.

What happens if I want to cancel my booking?

Get in touch and tell them straight away. How much we can help will depend on the timing and the circumstances of your cancellation. Licence Agreements are legally binding, so once you have signed and returned your contract you're required to pay your rent. If (under special circumstances only) you need to pull out of the Licence Agreement, they will help try to find a replacement Licensee for your room - but they can't guarantee that they will be able to. If a new Licensee is found then they can release you from your licence, but there will be a re-licence fee*. If you require a copy of the re-licence terms and conditions then please contact.

Can I leave early and get the remainder of my rent back?

Unfortunately, you are committed under the licence agreement to pay the full rent, however if you decide you want to leave early please tell the managers of your site asap. They 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, they will let you out of your agreement from the day they move in, and refund you any unused rent that you've paid in advance. They 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.

What bills do I need to pay?

All utility bills (gas, electricity and water), WiFi and contents insurance for your belongings are all included. If you bring your own television or use one that is pre-installed in your room then you will have to buy your own TV licence. If you cease to be a full time student during the occupation of your room then you will become liable for council tax. If the second occupant of a double occupancy room is not a student then they may also be liable for council tax.

Can I transfer my booking to a different Management location?

It’s possible that you’ll be able to transfer from one Management location to another before moving in, but this completely depends on what they have available. If they can transfer you, your booking fee will move with your room – and unfortunately they can’t guarantee that you’ll get the same sort of room. If you need to request a transfer, contact the site manager at your original management location.

How long is the contract?

Most of their contracts run for either 43, 44, 50 or 51 weeks. This will be indicated when you make a booking.

What are Guarantor details?

If you want to pay your rent in instalments, you’ll need a guarantor. This is someone who is willing to sign a contract saying they’ll pay your rent if you fail to do so. If your guarantor resides within the UK, they will run a credit check on your guarantor – if they happen to fail they will get in touch about what to do next. Your guarantor cannot be another student or a government. In the circumstances where you do not have a guarantor, you can register with Housing Hand who will act as guarantor subject to meeting their terms and conditions. More information on this service can be found here. Alternatively, you will need to pay your rent for the whole Licence Agreement/AST in advance.

What is included in my rent?

All your utility bills (including super-fast broadband and WiFi) are included, as is contents insurance for your room.

What happens if I can’t make my payment on time?

Talk to them - they will always work with you to find the best way for you to pay your rent.

Can I move in earlier or later than my Licence Agreement date if need be?

This depends if your room is ready, so it’s best to contact the scheme direct. You would need to pay for the extra days beforehand.

What's the best way for me to pay for my rent?

Debit card, credit card or bank transfer are all fine – make your choice when you complete your booking.

When do I need to pay?

For their sites in England, if you have a guarantor then you can pay in instalments in September, January and April. The 1st payment will be due before your licence starts, depending on the location, it can be 12 days to 1 month prior to the tenancy start date. If the 1st instalment of your Student Loan is paid after this date then we can accept a payment of 4 weeks rent 1 week before you move in, with the balance paid when you receive your loan.

Can I book if I'm under 18?

All residents living at one of their schemes in England are required to be over the age of 17 during the academic year booked, and residents living in their schemes in Scotland to be age 16 or over. Exceptions may be available on a case-by-case basis, and you will need to contact the site to get approval. If in doubt, please contact the respective schemes and the on-site team will be able to advise you.

How do I apply for a visa to the UK?

You can apply for a student visa to study in the UK if you’re 16 or over and you: - have been offered a place on a course by a licensed student sponsor - have enough money to support yourself and pay for your course - the amount will vary depending on your circumstances - can speak, read, write and understand English - have consent from your parents if you’re 16 or 17 - you’ll need evidence of this when you apply

How do I open a bank account?

The UK has lots of banks, including National Westminster (NatWest), Barclays, RBS, Santander, HSBC and Lloyds. All of these offer special bank accounts for students, which usually include an interest-free overdraft. All high street banks have the same basic range of services – savings accounts, credit cards, overseas cash transfers and so on – but they offer different deals to attract new customers, so shop around to find your favourite. To open a bank account you’ll need to visit a branch of your bank with the appropriate ID. Your passport, driving licence and one or two forms of proof of address (such as a bill or licence) will usually be enough. Bank accounts take a few days to get up and running, so try to open yours before you leave for university – or make sure you have a credit card to keep you going when you arrive.

If I want to get a part-time job, where should I look for opportunities?

You’ll find that your student union often has job adverts, and if you’re looking for shop, bar or restaurant work you can usually spot “Help wanted” signs in the shop windows. Your local Jobcentre will also have opportunities – simply head to the website and search by area.

How do I register with a doctor?

Most surgeries now offer online registration – once you’ve found your local GP, check their website. Check with them too for any recommendations.

If I’m an international student can I open a bank account in the UK?

No problem – you’ll just need the same identification as other students. Take your passport, driving licence and at least one proof of address document such as a bill or licence. If you can get a letter from your bank at home recommending you, that’s even better – but you don’t strictly need this, and you absolutely do need the ID mentioned above.

Is bedding included with the room?
