If the student is an international student then the student is required to pay the rent in full before the move in, if the student does have a UK guarantor and wants to pay in 4 instalments (July, October, Jan and April), then the guarantor needs to sign the contract as well. We will need the guarantor to provide us with UK passport, proof of address and proof of income (bank statement or payslips).

There is a bike storage shed, where keys are available from the office.

Q. Can I have friends/family to stay overnight?

You are responsible for any guests that you have staying with you and are liable if they cause any problems. But of course, friends and family are always welcome at Beehieve.

Q. Why are my windows restricted?

Your window may have a restricting device that limits how far it opens. It's there for your safety so it's important that you don't disconnect or damage it, or let anyone else do so. If the window fittings do become damaged, you need to tell a member of the property team straight away.
