1. Eligibility
1.1 This Best Offer & Price Guarantee (“Guarantee”) applies only to bookings made for the 2026/27 academic year.
1.2 To qualify, the applicant must:
- (a) Have completed a booking for the 2026/27 academic year with a minimum tenancy length of 41 weeks; and
- (b) Have completed the booking before 00:01 on 24th April 2026 (“Eligibility Deadline”).
1.3 The Guarantee applies only to the room type booked and on a like-for-like contract length basis.
The comparison must be for the exact same room type within the same property, including (but not limited to) size category, ensuite type, shared facilities, and any other defining features.
2. What This Guarantee Covers
2.1 If, after making a qualifying booking and before the tenancy start date, the applicant identifies a better offer or lower price for the same room type provided directly by Now Student Living, we will honour the better offer or match the lower price, subject to these Terms.
2.2 For the purposes of this Guarantee, a “better offer” may include, but is not limited to:
- Lower weekly or total rent;
- Cashback on rent;
- Upfront or end-of-tenancy discounts;
- Voucher incentives (for example, retail vouchers); and
- Free or discounted services (for example, laundry credits, cleaning services, or bedding packs).
2.3 Only offers that are actively available at the time of the claim and provided directly by Now Student Living qualify for comparison.
Third-party reseller or agent promotions are excluded unless explicitly stated otherwise.
3. Method for Comparing “Better Offers”
To ensure fair comparison across different incentive types, any competing offer will be assessed based on its reasonable equivalent monetary value, as determined by Now Student Living:
- Cashback or Rent Discounts: Compared at full face value;
- Vouchers: Compared at full face value, unless restricted-use vouchers apply, in which case a reasonable discount factor may be applied;
- Free Laundry, Services, or Add-ons: Compared using the advertised value of those services as set out in the applicable offer terms; and
- Bundles of Multiple Offers: The total combined equivalent value will be calculated to determine the overall benefit.
4. How to Claim
4.1 Claims must be submitted by the applicant via email within 7 days of the competing offer being published.
4.2 Applicants must provide reasonable evidence of the competing offer, which may include screenshots, website links, promotional emails, or published price lists.
4.3 Now Student Living reserves the right to verify the competing offer and confirm its availability at the time the claim is made.
4.4 If a claim is approved, Now Student Living will apply one of the following within 14 days, as appropriate:
- An adjusted rent price;
- A credit to the resident’s account; or
- An update to the relevant internal reference source to ensure the approved offer is reflected when the incentive is distributed.
