Definitely! If you’re interested in living in a cluster flat with your friends, just let us know who you want to live with, and we’ll do our best to make it happen. Be aware, we are more likely to be able to facilitate this early in the year, with many sites selling out the closer we get to September.

We don’t give out names for privacy reasons, but you can get a better idea of who you’ll be living with via our residents groups that are shared prior to check-in or by asking your site team to provide you with information such as gender, year and uni.

About two months before your move-in date (selected when booking), you’ll be able to book a move-in slot that works for you. If you need any support for accessibility or travel reasons, be sure to let us know at this stage. If you need an early check-in, we may be able to help too, just reach out to your Residence Team and they’ll be happy to let you know availability and pricing.

Unlike many other providers, we don’t require a deposit to secure your booking. Instead, we ask for an advance rent payment, which we’ll take off your first rent instalment. It’s like a little gift to yourself when September rolls around!

We work on a 5 day “cooling off” period. This means that should you need to, you can cancel your booking within 5 days of signing your tenancy agreement, as long as you have not yet moved in.

If you need to cancel after the “cooling off” period, we’ll allow it in certain circumstances, like if your UK visa is refused or you don’t make the grades for your chosen university. Just make sure to send us your UCAS notification or visa refusal documentation within 72 hours of receiving it.

You can also transfer your obligations to someone else if you find a replacement tenant who’s eligible to live in the property. We’ll need to run some checks to confirm their eligibility, but once everything’s in order, they’ll take over the tenancy agreement.
