    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.

    * Please note that additional charges apply for this service.

      A great location with connections to the central line straight outside the building. The staff and the reception team are always friendly and will be more than happy to help you if you have any problems. The rooms themselves are a good size with good storage for food/clothes/books. They also come with a decent sized TV and a good area to work. The only drawback is that my room doesn't have a window that can be opened, however the filter and air con system is good so it isn't too much of an issue.

      I have found that this flat has received a lot of negative reviews this year, but the problems were all in Block A. I am still living in Block B, and I hope that those of you who are reading reviews and hesitating to choose this flat can trust me that the facilities in Block B are fantastic. The air conditioning works great, it's cool in the summer, the large window gets great light, and the bed is a great size. The lift in Block B is always available. the price for 2022 is also very reasonable (compared to the city centre). Convenient transport (central line is downstairs) can take me to the city centre for classes very quickly. But this year it seems like the price has gone up very fast. Besides, the receptionist in Block A are really nice and I am very glad to meet you.
