  • What Happens If I Want To Cancel My Booking

    Get in touch and tell us straight away. How much we can help will depend on the timing and the circumstances of your cancellation.
    Licence Agreements are legally binding, so once you have signed and returned your contract, you're required to pay your rent. If (under special circumstances only) you need to withdraw from the Licence Agreement, we'll try to find a replacement Licensee for your room, but we can't guarantee we'll be able to. If a new Licensee is found, then we can release you from your licence, but there will be a re-licence fee*. If you require a copy of the re-licence terms and conditions, please get in touch with us.

  • Guarantor
  • Guarantor

    If you want to pay your rent in instalments, we accept both UK and International guarantors. This is someone willing to sign a contract saying they’ll pay your rent if you fail to do so. Your guarantor cannot be another student or the government. In the circumstances where you do not have a guarantor, you can register with Housing Hand, who will act as a guarantor, subject to meeting their terms and conditions.
    Alternatively, you will need to pay your rent for the whole Licence Agreement/AST in advance.

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.

    I lived in Maltings during my postdoc and had a really positive experience. The maintenance team were great , Gary in particular was super lovely and very quick to fix a bad leak I had in my shower. Really appreciated how responsive and helpful he was.

    Best accommodation in the uk honestly. Everything here is just perfect. People are so nice and helpful the building is just beautiful and so are the rooms. If you are coming to study in essex uni, this university should be on your priority list

    My biggest regret is not choosing this accommodation when I was studying in university of Essex. Maltings is so much better than any other accommodation in Colchester. Better staff, better buildings and rooms. Beautiful lake side view too. Everything about this accommodation is so good. The rooms feel like home only not an accommodation. I would 100% recommend opting for this accommodation. I came to see my friend here once and I just fell in love with this

    I’m currently living at The Maltings, and I can confidently say it’s an ideal place for students. It’s safe, affordable, and there are no hidden or unnecessary costs. The amenities are fantastic—they even have a cinema where I hosted a movie night with friends completely free of charge. The community spirit here is excellent, with events like Pizza Day and other fun activities that encourage residents to connect and socialize. If you’re a student looking for a safe, friendly, and engaging place to live, The Maltings is the place to be—come see for yourself!

    I truly enjoyed my stay here! The place was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly located. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming from the very start. Carmen’s professionalism stood out throughout my stay — she was not only kind and approachable but also attentive to every detail, always ready to help and ensuring everything was just right. Her thoughtful care made the experience exceptional. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to others
