Your yearly rent is calculated as your weekly rent times 52 weeks, divided by 12 payments (monthly) or 4 payments (quarterly).
An initial payment of £200 is required to reserve a room. The £200 holding retainer paid to reserve your property will be deducted from your first month’s rent.
The contract will outline the dates on which rental payments are due. We request that all tenants pay rent via Direct Debit. However, payment can be made over the phone, via our website, bank transfer or standing order. Please note there may be a 72 hour delay from making the payment to the payment showing on your tenant portal. We accept Mastercard and Visa. Payment plans can be changed to monthly, quarterly or in line with student loan payments. We ask tenants to contact us with details of payment plan change requests and we will get back to you.
Please note the first rental instalment date cannot be altered and 14 days notice minimum is required for any payment plan changes.
All tenants must have a UK based guarantor in order to pay in installments.
Cancellation Policy
Once the holding retainer is paid, this is non-refundable after 24 hours. A student can still drop out after a holding retainer is paid. Once a student becomes fully contracted (in receipt of a countersigned contract) they are unable to drop out of the tenancy unless they find a replacement. The student is responsible for finding their own replacement and is liable for the rent until they do so. A replacement is only possible whilst there is still at least 6 months remaining on the tenancy.
Q. What is a guarantor?
This is someone who is willing to guarantee your rent payments on your behalf. This is standard practice with student rental properties due to your employment status. A guarantor is signing the tenancy agreement confirming that they are guaranteeing your obligations in the contract.
Q. How do I pay my rent?
You will need to pay your rent quarterly. The easiest way to ensure your rent is paid on time is to set up online payments via your internet banking. Many of our tenants have found this an easy way of making payments with the added benefit of not remembering payment dates! Once completed please send a print screen confirmation to [email protected]. Alternatively, if you wish to go to the bank to enable payments to be set up for you, please email us for a standing order mandate form. You will then have to fill this out with payment dates and amounts and take this to your bank.
Q. Are bills included in the rent?
Please refer to your tenancy agreement to see whether bills are included in your rent.
Q. Why must my Guarantor be UK based?
Property laws are different outside of the UK. This means that it is not possible for your guarantor to be based elsewhere.
