    • 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.

    There are friendly staff and delicious breakfast, and the daily cleaning is very good. There are often some festival activities to give us some small gifts and snacks, if there is a chance I will recommend it to my friends

    It's a delightful time to live here in this accommodation since the last September. The building is quite new and fresh, a bunch of facilities such as fitness studio, party kitchen and cinema are amazing. It's a pity that the year 2020 is the pandemic year and I don't have so many chances to socialize with friends here, hopefully, it will be better for the vaccine is ready. Though it is tough during this time, the kind administrative teams, a handsome tall mate and a caring young lady as well as a lady for room maintenance, helped me a lot, they are super nice person. Overall a good place to stay in the UK.

    I’ve been living at New Century Place for the past academic year, and I must say it has been an incredible experience. The accommodation is exceptionally cozy, making it feel like a home away from home. From the moment I moved in, Harry and Claire, who are part of the amazing staff here, have been incredibly supportive and friendly. They always go above and beyond to help out, whether it’s a small query or a larger issue. Their dedication to ensuring residents are comfortable is truly commendable. One of the standout features of New Century Place is the vibrant community atmosphere. The staff regularly organize cool events that make living here enjoyable and foster a sense of community. They are particularly attentive to cultural diversity and do an excellent job of celebrating various festivals. The Chinese New Year celebrations this year were spectacular, with beautiful decorations, traditional activities, and delicious food. It was a wonderful way to connect with fellow residents and celebrate our diverse backgrounds. Additionally, the accommodation offers excellent facilities, including good car parking in the basement. As someone who drives, having a secure and convenient parking space has been a huge plus. The parking area is well-maintained and easily accessible, adding to the overall convenience of living here. I also want to extend a special thanks to Matt, the maintenance manager, who has been a lifesaver. Whenever something broke in my room, Matt was quick to respond and repair it efficiently. His promptness and professionalism ensured that I never had to worry about maintenance issues for long. Overall, New Century Place is a fantastic student accommodation with a warm and welcoming environment, great facilities, and a dedicated team. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable place to live while studying.

    A great place to live, virtually over the road from Reading city centre. They rent to professionals and students with on site security staff which is brilliant. Lots of different types of rooms to choose from. Highly recommended.
