      Payment Info

      Deposit Fees: 

      Deposits vary by property ranging from £50-£250 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.

      The deposit you pay when making the application cannot be used towards a rent instalment as this is secured with a deposit protection scheme for the duration of your tenancy.

      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 30 working days to be credited at the end of your tenancy period.

      Rent Payments:
      If you have a valid UK Guarantor, you can choose to pay your rent in three instalments, which are due in September, January and April.
      If you don’t have a valid UK Guarantor, you are required to pay the full rent in August, 1 month prior to your contract start date.
      Please note you must have paid the rent due by the time you arrive to check in.
      Pay in 10 instalments with an additional one-time admin fee (UK based guarantor required)

      Mode of Payment:
      Pay using a debit card or a credit card online, over the phone or at the reception
      Pay via direct debit or bank transfer

      FIRST YEAR STUDENT WAITING FOR EXAM RESULTS
      If you’re still waiting for your exam results and you’re not sure whether your place at
      university is confirmed, don’t worry, you can still apply. 
      If you are a prospective first year Undergraduate or Postgraduate student and your
      offer of a place at your preferred University or Higher Education Institute is
      withdrawn by the University or Higher Education Institute because you do not
      achieve the required entry grades, you may be eligible to be released from this
      agreement. 
      You must provide written evidence from the University that you do not have a place
      within 3 days of your results being published (and no later than 28th August,
      whichever date is sooner) and we will release you from the contract without penalty
      and refund the deposit paid. 
      You may also be eligible to be released from this agreement if you are a prospective
      first year Undergraduate student and you choose to go to a different University
      because you have exceeded your expected grades.

      you will need to supply us with a copy of:

      You can cancel your tenancy agreement for up to 14 days after the date of your
      booking (the Initial Cancellation Period). For bookings made from 1st August to 30th
      September ahead of the academic year the booking is for, the Initial Cancellation
      Period reduces to 7 days. We will refund the full security deposit. 
      Please note, £20 will be deducted from the refunded amount to cover any
      international bank charges for deposit refunds made to non-UK banks. 
      If you cancel your booking after the Initial Cancellation Period, you remain liable for
      the weekly rent (for each and every week or part week) until you are able to find
      another tenant that is acceptable and we are able to re-let the room. The
      replacement tenant must be over the age of 18 and have the necessary student
      status (it is your responsibility to find another tenant and provide them with the
      correction information). If you find a suitable replacement tenant and the room is re-
      let we will refund your deposit, less any appropriate charges, as well as a deduction
      of £50 for the variation of the contract.
