The Reservation Payment secures your chosen property. It’s either £125 per person or the equivalent of one week’s rent—whichever is lower.
This payment is non-refundable, but don’t worry—it will be deducted from your first month’s rent when your tenancy begins.
💡 Important: You must pay this via bank transfer, so please read your Property Reservation Email and all attached documents carefully before making any payments.
The Reservation Payment is non-refundable, so you must be 100% sure before reserving a property.
If someone in your group decides not to go ahead, you’ll need to find a suitable replacement within the agreed timeframe.
A Guarantor is someone who agrees to cover your rent if you’re unable to pay. To be eligible, they must live and work in the UK and their annual income must be 30 x the monthly rental amount.
The Lead Tenant is usually the most organised person in your group! We’ll mainly liaise with them regarding paperwork, key collection, and general tenancy matters.
This means that you and your housemates share full responsibility for the tenancy.
You are all collectively responsible for:
✅ Paying the rent in full
✅ Looking after the property
✅ Any damages or issues that arise
Make sure everyone in your group understands this before signing the contract!
We know most students head home for the summer, so for many of our properties, July and August rent is half price.
You can usually store your belongings, but you won’t be able to move in until September.
Every tenancy is different, so please double-check the details with us when applying.
Your deposit amount depends on the property you’re renting.
🔒 Rest assured, your deposit will be held securely in one of the three government-backed schemes and returned at the end of your tenancy—provided the property is in the same condition as when you moved in.
Rent must be paid via standing order or bank transfer.
📅 Please refer to your tenancy agreement for exact due dates and payment details.
