The property is proud to agree to the principals required by the ANUK Code of Standards. Fully supported by NUS, the National Code is voluntary and aimed at both educational establishments and private sector suppliers. Those who join make a commitment to provide students with a first-class housing service and agree to provide information, reassurance and a clear procedure if a dispute occurs.

Living in a building covered by the Code means:

• Your contract is clearly written, stating what you are paying for and how much your rent is, with reasonable terms and no hidden costs.
• Best practice day-to-day management is supported and recognised.
• Your accommodation should be fully prepared for you when you arrive to take up residence.
• our accommodation meets with a set of nationally recognised standards in respect to services, furniture and fittings.
• Repairs and maintenance are carried out within agreed timescales.
• Your building will meet with, and exceed, the required health and safety standards.
• You will be given information to explain what management routines are followed in the buildings.
• There’s a set and accountable procedure for dealing with any disputes or complaints.

All rooms that are let directly to students are done so using an assured short-hold tenancy agreement or Licence. These agreements outline what is expected of the resident and, similarly, properties’ obligations as a landlord.

The agreements are a legally binding document and should be read carefully. Once signed they are for a fixed term and should the resident wish to move out of the accommodation before the end date, they will remain liable for the full rent until the end of the contracted period and are responsible for the condition of the property regardless of whether they are staying in the hall or not.

The property designed their homes that provide everything you need to enjoy living with them. Their flats come kitted out with all your cooking appliances: cooker, hob, kettle, toaster and microwave – and some sites also provide cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils*.
