Frequently Asked Questions
Can I book with friends?

How to book
Booking is simple. Choose your city, select a property and room, and follow the steps to secure your space. You'll need a valid photo ID, proof of address, and your university acceptance letter. If you'd like help during the booking process, feel free to get in touch with our team.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations after signing your agreement are possible, but only if a replacement tenant is found and other conditions are met. An admin fee may apply. For full details, please get in touch with us.
Do I need a guarantor?
If you choose to pay in instalments, you’ll usually need a UK-based guarantor. If you don’t have one, you may still be able to book by paying in full. If you’re unsure, we recommend speaking to us for guidance.
What do I do if I don't get a place at University?
If you're a first-year student and don’t receive your university offer, you may be eligible to cancel your booking. We’ll require official documentation, and in some cases, a suitable replacement tenant. Please reach out to us to talk through your situation.
