Cancellation policy

"These terms and conditions shall be governed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales"

  • Holding Deposit

    • Holding Deposit

    On making your booking with CRM Students you will be asked to pay a Holding Deposit. Payment of the Holding Deposit constitutes your acceptance that the Holding Deposit is retained to secure your room in accordance with these terms and conditions. You agree by us holding a deposit that the deadline to conclude the Tenancy Agreement following the receipt of the Holding Deposit fee shall be 14 days thereafter, or any other period agreed by us (the "deadline"). By entering into the Tenancy Agreement your Holding Deposit converts to your refundable Security Deposit. If your tenancy agreement is an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) in England or an Occupational Lease in Wales, it will be protected in an independent government approved tenancy deposit protection scheme, such as the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). Unless otherwise stated on the site’s web page, your Security Deposit will be refunded to you at the end of your tenancy if there are no outstanding arrears or damage to your room and/or communal areas. By paying your Holding Deposit, you give us express consent to use the details provided by you to undertake searches against sanction lists maintained by the government of the United Kingdom, United States, and other countries we choose including those maintained by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). This will not affect your rights and/ or our obligations to you under the Data Protection Act 2018. You have the right to ask us to not undertake such searches, but in doing so we will not be able to progress your application. CRM Students will make relevant checks to confirm your place at university and will then make you an Offer of Accommodation where you will receive your online Tenancy Agreement via the Student Portal. The Tenancy Agreement sets out the full terms and conditions under which you agree to rent a room with the Landlord, your guarantor, and CRM Students Limited as Agent. You will need to log into your account, check your details, read your tenancy agreement, and sign the online contract before uploading relevant identification documentation. You will be asked to pay the full years rent up front unless you have a UK based guarantor. If you have a UK based guarantor, you can pay your rent in 3 or 4 instalments. The first instalment needs to be paid 5 weeks before your contract starts. You will not be able to move into the property if this has not been paid. The second rent instalment is due in September, the third in January and the final one in April. If for any reason we are not able to make you an Offer of Accommodation, we will contact you as soon as possible detailing reasons why or with an alternative solution. If we cannot offer an alternative or the alternative is not suitable, we will refund your Holding Deposit in full via the original method the payment was made

Frequently Asked Questions

I am 16, can I still book an accommodation with CRM?

Yes, you can only if you are booking in Scotland where the legal age is 16 but in other countries we only accept bookings from individuals over 18. Additionally we only accept students with full time education.

Can I get female only accommodation?

Yes, we do offer accommodations exclusively for women, but only with prior notice and subject to available rooms.

Why do you need a Guarantor?

If you're planning to pay your rent in installments, we ask for a UK Guarantor. This adds security, ensuring rent is paid in full even if you can't make a payment.

What's involved in being a Guarantor?

By becoming a Guarantor, you're agreeing to cover the rent and vouch for the resident's behavior if they can't pay. Please only agree if you're comfortable taking on this responsibility.

I'm an International Student and don't have a UK Guarantor

No worries! Housing Hand specializes in assisting international students by acting as their UK Guarantor. Contact them directly for assistance

Do You Need a Guarantor?

Most landlords and letting agents require a UK-based guarantor. Without one, you may be asked to pay your full year's rent upfront. To help students navigate this, we've partnered with Housing Hand, which can provide a recognised certificate of rental guarantee, giving both you and your landlord peace of mind.

It's worth knowing that several of our student halls don't require a UK-based guarantor at all, allowing students to pay rent in convenient instalments instead. To find out which properties qualify and how to get started, reach out to our team. We're happy to guide you through the booking process from start to finish.

    Best bit is the community! One more best bit, top management. One more, top maintenance. I had a broken shower, raised a ticket in the morning fixed by the boss man Phil the same day. Rent includes everything from wifi, water, electricity to even hoovers for weekly room cleanup. And there are so many big TVs, watch cricket, footbal, netflix, and ALSO PLAY ON A PS5 💯

    Enso is an amazing student accommodation with an even better experience to be had. 🔥 From the really well maintained and clean social spaces to the extremely friendly and super helpful working staff on site who make everyday a little bit easier as you navigate any troubles, issues or queries you may have. Phil, Eren and Nicola will always be ready to assist with any sort of trouble you may have. The rooms are exactly as advertised and truly value for your money. Extremely spacious with all necessary amenities you may require to make your living experience as comfortable as possible. Tenants are extremely friendly so you’re bound to make a friend or two simply by just walking down the hall. It’s close to the university as well as various shops so you’re not really going to miss out on any essentials you may need through your stay. All in all, my stay has been really stress-free and prompt assistance on issues I may have had was just the icing on the cake. Would definitely recommend Enso if you looking for a lovely, comfortable and fulfilling student experience at an accommodation. 10/10

    I had a great move-in experience thanks to the incredibly friendly and responsive staff. They were more than happy to guide me through the process and answered all my questions with ease. While the studio was just as expected, the bathroom was surprisingly spacious - much larger than it appeared in the photos, which was a nice bonus. The communal areas are also clean and well maintained, so I’m genuinely looking forward to my stay here.

    As a parent, I’m extremely pleased with the quality of service at this student accommodation. The staff are consistently friendly, supportive, and available around the clock, which gives me great peace of mind knowing my child can get help at any time. The environment around the building is always clean, quiet, and well-maintained. Recently, my child’s fridge stopped working, and after reporting it to maintenance, a brand-new fridge was provided within just two days. I truly appreciate the team’s efficiency and dedication. Highly recommended.
