1st Year Applicants And 1st Year Postgraduate Student Only
If you are a prospective first year Undergraduate or Postgraduate student and your offer of a place at your preferred University or Higher Education Institution is withdrawn by the University or Higher Education Institution because you do not achieve the required entry grades, you may be eligible to be released from
this agreement.
You must provide written evidence from the University that you do not have a place within 3 calendar days of your results being published (and no later than 28th August, whichever date is sooner). We will release you from the contract without penalty and refund the deposit paid.
You may also be eligible to be released from this agreement if you are a prospective first year Undergraduate student and you choose to go to a different university because you have exceeded your expected grades.
To apply to be released from this agreement in the circumstances referred to above, you must:
send an email from the email account you booked with to: salesenquiries@wearehomesforstudents.com or to your property email address if already in residence confirming that you wish to cancel your booking, stating your full name, details of the property booked;
send the written rejection letter from your chosen university/college or UCAS, a screen shot of your UCAS status which confirms that the required results were not achieved, or a copy of the proof of acceptance of your new university by UCAS adjustment.
These document(s) must be received by us within 3 calendar days (and no later than 28th August, whichever date is sooner) from the date your results are published.
On receipt of the required documentation, it will be verified and, provided we are satisfied, we will cancel your agreement and process the refund of your deposit in full within 30 days.
If you fail to provide the information within 3 days, you will remain liable for the rent for the whole length of the contracted tenancy until another tenant that is acceptable to the landlord is found and the room is able to be re-let.
2nd Year & Subsequent Year Students
Important: Once the offer has been accepted and the security deposit paid, the booking is complete, and you have entered a legally binding contract.
You should be certain that you understand the terms of this legally binding contract before accepting it.
You can cancel your tenancy agreement for up to 7 calendar days after the date of the booking, which is known as the Initial Cancellation Period, or ‘Cooling Off Period’, by sending an email to salesenquiries@wearehomesforstudents.com or to your property email address if already in residence.
Providing your booking is cancelled within this Initial Cancellation Period, we will refund your full security deposit.
Please note, refunding the deposit after cancelling the booking may take a number of weeks depending on where it is up to in the process of securing it with the tenancy deposit scheme, and we cannot influence the speed of this refund.
Outside of the Cooling Off Period, termination of your tenancy agreement will only be authorised if a suitable replacement tenant is found, if any applicable legal notice that applies under current legislation is issued, or if your place at your University or Higher Education Institute is withdrawn because you do not achieve the required grades to proceed into your next year.
To apply to be released from this contract if you do not achieve the required grades and your place at university is withdrawn, you must:
send an email from the email account you booked with to: salesenquiries@wearehomesforstudents.com or to your property email address if already in residence confirming that you wish to cancel your booking, stating your full name, details of the property booked;
send a letter from your university/college which confirms that the required results were not achieved, and that your place has been withdrawn.
These document(s) must be received by us within 3 calendar days from the date you receive this confirmation.
If this confirmation is not received until after your tenancy period has started, you will be liable for the rent from the start of the tenancy until another tenant that is acceptable to the landlord is found and the room is able to be re-let.
On receipt of the required documentation, it will be verified, and provided we are satisfied, we will cancel your agreement and process the refund of your deposit in full within 30 days.
If you fail to provide the information within 3 calendar days, your deposit will not be refunded, and you will remain liable for the rent for the whole length of the contracted tenancy until another tenant that is acceptable to the landlord is found and the room is able to be re-let.
The deposit paid is non-transferable and cannot be moved to another applicant, or another year.
