Booking your studio is easy! The booking process is four simple steps and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. You will need to find your location first and then select the room you want to book.

Do you allow short term lets?

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

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

Talk to us! They will always work with you to find the best way for you to make your payment. It may be possible to change instalment plans or change your licence agreement to adapt to your requirements.

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.

In most cases - yes! This is dependent on whether the room you have booked is available and will be subject to an additional cost. To check availability and arrange an early move in.

When can I come to view an apartment?

Viewing schedules are the following: Tuesday – 11 AM – 8 PM Friday – 1 PM – 6 PM Saturday 10 AM – 2 PM You need to inform Management prior 24 hours to schedule a viewing, and share the below format - Details required: Building of Interest Room types most of interest Is the student keen on a specific room? Approximate budget available Discounts Mentioned/Agreed? Key Information about what they want What term length do they require Where are they currently living and why are they leaving? (if they aren’t a 1st year) What University are they at and what are they studying? What year are they in (have they even started university)? Have you discussed any interests or hobbies they have?.

Do you allow couples to stay / visit?

They love having couples live in the accommodation and it’s ideal if you want to share the license fee with someone else. There is a 20% price increase to cover the additional usage of electricity and water, internet and wear and tear to the accommodation and communal spaces. The Advance License Fee remains the same for two people sharing a room. If you are staying in a "cluster" room in the London Lewisham Exchange residence, these are single occupancy only and dual occupancy is not available.

Do I have to share my kitchen/bathroom in a studio?

Not at all! All the self-contained studios have an ensuite bathroom and kitchen area within the apartment. There is a communal student area outside of your studio that has individual and group study spaces, pool tables, gym facility and relaxation and social ‘zones’ for you to enjoy whenever you need a break from university work!

As a disabled person I have specific requirements for my living needs, can Accommodation cater for these?

They make every effort to ensure that the accommodation is accessible for all and they will always do everything they can to find you suitable accommodation. All Accommodation buildings have step-free/level access. They can provide information on the availability of disabled parking for customers, there are accessible WC’s in the communal areas for visitors and a hearing loop at reception. Adaptations can be made to the studios including grabrail provision in bathrooms, stair lifts in accessible duplex apartments, visual fire alarms and assisted door opening devices if required. Information can also be made available in alternative formats e.g. large print and braille.

What bills do I need to pay?

All utility bills (gas, water and electricity), super-fast Wi-Fi and contents insurance for your belongings are included. Your fortnightly cleaning service and grab and go breakfast every weekday is also included in your license fee. You are responsible for the purchase of a TV license if you intend to watch or record live terrestrial TV programmes or use BBC iPlayer, even if you have been provided with a TV by Accommodation. If you do not wish to purchase a TV license you will need to complete a TV license exemption form which will be available from your accommodation team.

Is bedding included within the room?

Bedding is not included as standard in your room. You can purchase a starter pack which includes kitchen utensils, bedding and more. All items will be waiting for you in your room when you arrive. If you order one of the premium Accommodation Packs, you’ll get this delivered to your studio in time for your move in date – leaving you less to pack, and less to go out and buy in the shops.

What size bed will my studio have?

Most studios have a double bed, some are small doubles, but many are king or even super king size. Depending on the room type you're considering, the senior team will be happy to confirm this for you.

Are there fridges included in the rooms?

Yes – every studio and apartment has a fridge with a freezer compartment.

Do I need to bring any furniture?

Are there kitchen facilities in my room?

All of the studios will include a combination microwave oven/grill, a ceramic hob, a sink, a fridge with freezer compartment, and storage space for your food. If you’re staying in one of the cluster rooms then these appliances will be in the shared kitchen.

Do I need to bring my own saucepans, plates, cutlery, etc?

Well that’s up to you! If you want to bring your own equipment then there is plenty of storage space but they also offer excellent starter packs for a one off cost which includes all of the kitchen and apartment essentials you will need and will be waiting for you in your room on arrival. Don’t forget to order your bedding, bathroom, kitchen and living essentials for your studio. If you order one of the premium Accommodation Packs, you’ll get this delivered to your studio in time for your move in date – leaving you less to pack, and less to go out and buy in the shops. Remember, your studio doesn’t include bedding, so as a minimum consider ordering your bedding pack directly from us for the perfect first night’s sleep!

Is there a TV in my room?

Yes! Every studio and apartment (with the exception of Charles Building in Manchester, CS-B9) is fitted with a flat screen SMART TV. The TV comes complete with Freeview and the ability to download apps once connected to your super-fast Wi-Fi! You are responsible for the purchase of a TV license if you intend to watch or record live terrestrial TV programmes or use BBC iPlayer, even if you have been provided with a TV by Accommodation (excluding the buildings in Spain).

They also hold regular events in the communal space hosted by the residence teams. If you have a suggestion, let us know and we’ll make it happen!

Will I get a cleaner?

Our brilliant housekeeping team will provide a 20 minute clean of your floor, kitchen worktop surfaces and en-suite to keep things clean for you. They do this to ensure your room is kept in the very best condition throughout the year and to minimise the damage.

What is your cancellation policy?

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 25th May 2022, and 48 hours for bookings made on or after 25th May 2022 If you are declined a Visa to study in the UK; until 16th August 2022 If you are declined a place at university (not applicable if you choose to withdraw from your place at university) To be eligible to cancel, you must supply suitable proof to us in writing within 48 hours of being made aware of the change in circumstances (proof is not required within your cooling-off period). 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. Once you have booked and the 5 days has elapsed (or 48 hours after 25th May 2022), you are bound into a legal licence agreement which requires you to pay for the full period of the licence agreement. Management suggest if you are unsure about exam results, receiving your visa or other condition on you attending University that you contact them.
