Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer dual occupancy?

Yes, they do! Some of their studio apartments are available for dual occupancy, so you can share the space with a partner or friend. Dual occupancy allows you to enjoy the convenience and comfort of a private studio or apartment while splitting the cost, making it a great option for those who prefer to live with someone they know. To book a dual occupancy studio apartment, simply get in touch with their dedicated team.

What happens if I can’t make a payment?

Once you sign the tenancy agreement, it confirms you have accepted the terms and conditions of your contract. This means that you’ll now be responsible for ensuring your payments are made. Avoid falling into arrears with your rent and speak with their Customer Engagement Team.

I haven’t paid rent yet, can I still move in?

You will need to pay your rent upon checking in, otherwise they won’t be able to hand over the keys to your room. If there have been changes in your circumstances preventing you from paying your rent, please speak with their Customer Engagement Team.

What should I do if my Direct Debit fails?

If your direct debit fails, you should first check with your bank to find out why. Often, it’s due to insufficient funds or because you are making a payment to a new account. You can contact their Customer Engagement Team and they will provide you with some helpful advice.

Can I book a dual tenancy?

Yes, if you would like to buddy up in one of their beautiful rooms, you can. They offer dual occupancy in their studio apartments; the bigger studio apartment is recommended if you’d love that extra space. Note: Dual tenancy is not available in their shared apartment.

Am I allowed guests?

Your friends and family are more than welcome to stay. But while they’re here, they’ll be your responsibility. So careful! If they cause damage to the property, or disruption for people living with you, this will be your responsibility. Extensive stays (that’s longer than a week) aren’t allowed.

Is there 24/7 security at my accommodation?

Every building has a secure entry, and students are given a 24-hour contact number to call if they have any concerns about safety or security.

What happens with my post and parcels?

Depending on your accommodation, parcels are delivered to designated hub locations in the city, where residents can collect them at their convenience. Alternatively, residents may choose to accept delivery in person from the courier or arrange for the parcel to be left at an official drop-off location specified by the courier company. Unfortunately, they’re unable to guarantee a member of staff will be able to accept your parcel in un-manned locations.

How do I report a noise complaint?

Let’s be respectful of each other. Please be considerate of how much noise you’re making – especially between 11pm and 7am. If other residents complain about you or your guests making too much noise – especially if complaints are serious or persistent – they may have to ask you to leave the building.

How do I send a request to the maintenance team?

Something broken? Faulty? Their onsite maintenance team will get right on it. Just let your Accommodation Team know or simply use the Hello Student app. Through the app you can raise a ticket for maintenance issues.

The app is handy not only for raising maintenance tickets, it also allows for general enquiries, delivery status checks, visitor requests, and more.

Do you offer contents insurance to protect my belongings?

Yes – they offer free contents insurance during your stay with them. They’ve partnered with Cover4insurance, one of the best student insurance providers.

Bedding.

How do I set up a UK bank account?

Setting up a UK bank account is super easy. Here’s what you need to do: Step 1: Choose a bank – some of the most popular banks in the UK are Barclays, NatWest, and HSBC. Step 2: Do your research, and make sure that you are eligible to open an account. Step 3: Prepare your documents. Normally, UK banks require: Now that you’re well prepared, you can either set an appointment with the bank you have chosen, or you can simply open your bank account online, in less than 10 minutes.

Do I need a UK phone number while I’m studying?

Getting a UK phone number is not a requirement, but it is a good choice to avoid racking up high charges when you call home while studying in the UK. Check out all the deals for international calls and make sure you get the phone and deal that’s right for you.

Can I have parcels delivered ready for my move in date?

Yes, however they recommend that you have parcels delivered once you have already moved in so that they can be collected, as some buildings may not have enough storage space for the quantity of parcels that are typically received. If you are still planning on delivering parcels for your move-in date, please let your Accommodation Team know ahead of time if you have not moved in yet.
