FAQS

Ideally you will view our homes in a group and please remember when you view the house its probably someone else’s home at the time- so we are privileged to be allowed to look around.  Please respect their privacy and don’t take pictures.  Also try to imagine what the house might look like with your belongings and housemates – and be assured we will complete a full clean and any maintenance before you move in!

We will also give you a copy of a contract before you make your decision, and you can discuss this with your parents/guarantor. Should you have any questions then we are happy to talk these through with you. 

Each of you will need to sign a Tenancy Agreement (strictly speaking this is called an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement or AST).  We issue individual agreements to each of you but once signed it’s your responsibility not to change your mind or if you do; to pay the rent until you or we find a suitable replacement.

You will also need a guarantor who will is legally obliged to pay the rent should you not be able to.

We ask you for an advance rent payment of £250 to secure your tenancy and that payment goes towards your first terms rent.

You can move in any time on or after the date your agreement starts.  Please call a few days ahead so that we can arrange to meet you and hand-over your keys.  You will also need to pay your Deposit on or before moving day.  Your deposit gets sent straight to the Deposit Protection Service (DPS) who hold it until the end of your tenancy.

What you need

  • bedding (duvet, cover, pillows, sheets etc),
  • towels
  • clothes hangers
  • cleaning, washing-up and laundry items.

You might not need to each bring pots and pans, cutlery, crockery and utensils.  It’s a good idea to discuss this with your housemates and decide who is bringing or buying what.

All are homes are fully furnished and we provide a vacuum cleaner.

We normally expect three rental payments to coincide with your student loan payments via bank transfer.  If your funding is different, we can also accept 10 monthly rent payments.
