    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've been with dh since sept 2024 and i literally cannot say enough about how lovely it is to live here. the staff are unbelievably sweet and the support they provide is unquestionably some of the best you could receive from private halls. the receptionist always makes it a pleasure to enter the building. the maintenance staff are always quick to respond in hours and beyond efficient in doing the requests they're given. the actual amenities within the building itself are adequate and make every flat feel halfway there to being homey. the lobby has various activities and lounge area which just gives us even more of the building to be happy and carefree in. i've rebooked for 2026 and likely plan to remain here til the end of my degree. i'm glad i picked discovery heights and i implore anyone searching for accommodation within plymouth to seriously consider this place.

    Lived here for a semester now, and ive rebooked for next year - the accomodation itself is in a very convenient location, with Sainsburys right by it, and campus just across the road directly infront of reception. Ive found my room to be a lovely size, with plenty of storage space and a good sized desk. When my toilet broke and stopped flushing, maintenance came to my room to fix it in less than an hour, and iirc i put in the maintenance request either out of hours, or just before they finished on a friday, so thats pretty good service The kitchen/ living room is large enough to comfortably fit the whole flat (I got lucky and we're like a stones throw off being an actual family), aswell as a bunch of friends. The actual kitchen facilities are good aswell, I quite enjoy cooking and can comfortably make moderately complex (by non-student standards) dishes very comfortably Ive quite enjoyed my time here so far, and i look forward forward to the rest of my time here

    Great place to live, especially in first year! The staff are lovely, and always greet you with a friendly face. Maintenance are really on top of jobs and often come promptly after requests are made! Cannot fault anything really - the building is always clean and residents are respectful too. Massive bonus being over the road from campus and just down the street from drakes circus! There is also lots of chance to join in in social events in the common room- a great way to speak to new people. Overall a really great option for student accommodation in Plymouth :)

    I've really enjoyed my time at Discovery Heights so far, and it's been a really nice experience. I'm very glad I chose to live here for first year, and second year going forward. The staff, especially Ellie :), are all super helpful, friendly and welcoming. They're always there if you need them, and most maintenance issue are resolved fairly quickly. The actual accommodation itself is super nice as well, and the proximity to campus is great as it's only a couple minutes away. Overall I love this accommodation and it's a great place to stay if you're looking!!

    I have had a very good experience at this accommodation. The staff is genuinely nice, always happy to help. The building's always clean and maintenance guys fix any issue within less than 2 days. The reception team especially has been very welcoming and organise loads of events like Christmas colouring, grab-a-snack days, support during exams and so many more! There's loads of board games, books and instruments alongside a pool table and table tennis table so these make it easy to wind down and have a good time with friends. The location is super convenient with university being right across the road, close to train station and we're next door to tesco. Overall, it's really comfortable and such a friendly place to live in, I'd highly recommend for anyone looking for a good experience and meeting new people : )
