    Am I allowed to have guests to stay?

    You are welcome to have guests through the daytime, and an overnight guest for a reasonable amount of nights. You'll need to get permission from management for an extended period.

    Will I need to pay council tax?

    In the UK, students are exempt from paying council tax – you won’t need to pay this, but if the council do mistakenly bill you, you will need to provide details to prove that you are in full time education.

    Do I need a tv licence?

    If you bring your own TV, or want to watch or record programmes as they are shown live (including on mobile phones, tablets or computers), you will need to apply and pay for a TV License. This also includes TV's provided by the management.

    What if something in my flat breaks?

    If you’re having any problems with your room, a shared living space, or one of the communal areas, you have two options. You can log the issue using the resident portal, providing details so their maintenance team can get this sorted for you as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can come down to your reception and talk to a member of staff so they can log it on your behalf.

    Can I have pets?

    Unfortunately, you are not allowed to keep any pets in your room or any shared living spaces.

    What happens if I don’t get on with my new flat mates?

    They want your university experience to be as positive as possible – if you are having any issues with flat mates, please let them know. They will do their best to help resolve any problems you might be having.

    Can I receive post and parcels?

    Each flat has its own lockable mailbox located in the lobby - your room keycard will also give you access to this. If any larger packages, or anything that requires a signature arrives for you, they’ll hold onto it and let you know via text or email so you can come and collect it. For security reasons, you will need to provide photo ID and give a signature to confirm collection. Post will not be given out to other residents on your behalf without written authorisation

    Can I live with my friends?

    We are more than happy to accommodate groups as well as individuals. Let us know who you’re planning to live with, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you in the same flat.

    Is there an age limit for booking accommodation with the management?

    As a minimum age requirement, property residents need to have be or have turned 18 during their tenancy with them.
