If I haven’t been accepted to university yet, can I still secure a room?

You certainly can. And in the event your place is declined, you can cancel free of charge, unless:

You did not complete all necessary steps required by your university to complete your application in time
The Occupation Period outlined in your Licence Agreement has begun.
If you are initially declined a place to study at university, or progress into the next academic year, you must immediately notify them if you intend to appeal the decision. They will confirm to you whether you will continue to benefit from this additional policy during and subsequent to your appeal being made.

Are the rooms suitable for disabled access?

They have many accessible rooms across their buildings – these feature a bigger bathroom, step-free access, and adaptable features.

Are pets allowed?

Unfortunately, accommodation facilities are not suitable for pets, so they do not allow them in their buildings. But they love to see your photos of them!

Can I have visitors? How long can they stay?

Of course! You can have a guest stay up to 2 consecutive nights free of charge. You’ll need to make sure that they are signed in at reception, and always with you whilst in the building.

Can I move into accommodation early?

It might be possible to check in earlier than your contract starts, if your room is empty over the summer. Get in touch and they can let you know the earliest date that you can move in.
Once your contract has officially started, you can move in at any time. Closer to the start date, we’ll ask you to let them know when you plan to arrive so that they can make check-in as seamless as possible – but if you need to amend this date and time, you can easily do so from within your Accommodation Account.

How long is the usual contract?

For most buildings at the property, you can choose between two contract length options: 45 weeks or 52 weeks. Booking a 52-week contract allows you to stay in the building over the summer holidays.
Some of their buildings only have the option of 45 or 52-week contracts – you’ll see the options available when booking your room.

Do you do short-term contracts?

They have some studios available with shorter contracts in their residences across the UK and Spain. Perfect if you are only studying for a term at a time or on a language course that lasts a few months.

What are the payment options?

When you book your room, you’ll be offered the choice of paying in One (Annual) or Four Instalments. You’ll pay for the first 4 weeks of your contract when you book – this is the Advance Licence Fee.
During the booking process, you’ll be presented with the payment due dates and amounts dependent on the building and instalment option that you’ve chosen.
When it’s time to pay, you can simply make your payment via card or bank transfer via your accommodation account. They have a number of payment methods dependent on the country your bank is located in – but these include all major credit and debit cards, and if you’re an international student, even bank transfers to a local bank in your home currency!

What happens if I forget to pay on time?

If you think you might not be able to complete your payments on time, it’s really important that you get in touch with them at the earliest opportunity.

Can I book my room close to my friends?

Do I need a guarantor to book a room?

No, you don’t need a guarantor to book a room at the property.

Do you charge a deposit?

They don’t charge a deposit to live at accommodation. However, if any damage occurs while you live in the room, you will be expected to pay for any damages caused before you check out.

The Advance Licence Fee payment that you pay when you book your room is a pre-payment of the first 4 weeks of your contract and therefore isn’t refunded at the end of your stay.

What is your cancellation policy at accommodation? Can I cancel if I’ve already booked or paid?

24/25 Academic Year
Unless you have booked a Clearing Room (see special cancellation terms for Clearing Rooms below) you can cancel free of charge if you are within your cooling off period; your cooling off period is 5 days from the date of booking, for bookings made until 27th May 2024, and 48 hours for bookings made on or after 27th May 2024.

You can also cancel free of charge under the below additional policies:

“No Place, No Pay”

If you are declined a place to study at a university located in the same city as your accommodation, you may cancel and obtain a full refund, unless:

You are declined a place for any reason other than not meeting the academic requirements to obtain a place (including, but not limited to, academic or other misconduct, financial reasons, your place being revoked or withdrawing from your application or course)
You did not complete all necessary steps required by your university to complete your application in time
The Occupation Period outlined in your Licence Agreement has begun.
If you are initially declined a place to study at university, or progress into the next academic year, you must immediately notify them if you intend to appeal the decision. They will confirm to you whether you will continue to benefit from this additional policy during and subsequent to your appeal being made.

“No Visa, No Pay”

If you are declined a Visa to study in the UK, by UK Visas and Immigration, you may cancel and obtain a full refund if notice is provided to them before 16th August 2024, unless:

You did not complete all necessary steps required by UKVI to complete your visa application
Your university was unable to issue you with a CAS Number to obtain your visa owing to you not completing all necessary steps to complete your application to study.
Under both additional cancellation policies:

You must supply suitable proof to them in writing within 48 hours of being made aware of the change in circumstances and they may request additional information to support your cancellation request to satisfy ourselves of the circumstances of your request.
If at any point you have checked in to your Accommodation, you are unable to cancel your Agreement free of charge and must find a replacement student.
Should you need to make a request to cancel your accommodation under any of the above policies, you should send your request in writing (with supporting evidence attached)
Once you have booked and your cooling period has elapsed, you are bound into a legal licence agreement which requires you to pay for the full period of the licence agreement. They suggest if you are unsure about exam results, receiving your visa or other condition on you attending University that you contact us.
If your cancellation request is accepted for one of the above reasons, any Advance Licence Fee Payment will be fully refunded to the account from which it was paid.

Clearing Room Cancellation Policy

There is no cooling-off period for their Clearing Rooms.
You can only cancel free of charge in line with the “No Place, No Pay” policy above.
Outside of these terms, in order to cancel you must organise a replacement student to take over your contract and take over the liability for the License Fee (and you will still be responsible for all payments until a replacement is found). For the avoidance of doubt, if at any point you have checked in to your booking, you are no longer eligible to cancel free of charge and must find a replacement student.
If your cancellation request is accepted for one of the above reasons, any Advance Licence Fee Payment will be fully refunded to the account from which it was paid.

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

Unfortunately, you are committed under the license period to pay the full license fee. They may have a waiting list of people that would like to take over your booking which would then relinquish you from your contract. They cannot refund your license fee until a replacement is found to take over your booking. 

Are utility bills included at accommodation?

Do I need to pay for a TV license and council tax as a student living at accommodation?

If you’re living in Spain, you do not need to buy a TV Licence.

You shouldn’t need to pay council tax in the UK as a full-time student. They might ask for evidence of your student statthem at any point during your stay in order to ensure you are exempt from council tax.
