Cancellations: Risk-Free Bookings for 2026/27

Cancellation Before Countersigning
If you cancel your booking before the agreement is countersigned, your advance rent payment will be refunded.

Cooling Off Period
If you booked online or by phone and have not viewed the accommodation in person, you have a 72-hour cooling-off period after booking (reduced to 24 hours from 1st August 2026).
During this period, you may cancel your booking provided you have not moved in. To cancel, please email the Residents’ Team with the subject line: “Cooling Off Period Cancellation.”
Refunds will be processed within 10 working days.

Cancellations for Exceptional Circumstances After the cooling-off period, you may cancel before the tenancy start date only if:

• You are unable to obtain a visa to enter the UK
• You did not receive the required grades to attend your chosen university
• You failed to achieve the grades needed to continue your studies

Please provide supporting evidence (e.g. UCAS notification or visa refusal) to your Residents’ Team within 72 hours of receiving it.
Your advance rent payment will then be refunded.
If you receive this notification after your tenancy start date, you remain responsible for rent payments up to the date you provide evidence and we confirm your release. No other cancellation requests will be accepted before or during the tenancy.

Finding a Replacement Occupier for your accommodation.
If you wish to end your license to occupy early, you may find a replacement licensee acceptable to the landlord. The new licensee will sign a new agreement, which may be at a different rent to match the current market rate.
Before we accept a replacement:

• Your rent account must be fully up to date
• Any rent owed up to your leaving date must be paid

Once the replacement licensee has signed and paid, they will assume responsibility for all future rent and obligations. Until then, you remain responsible for the rent until the original end date.
