What is the holding deposit?

A £150 holding deposit is required when you apply to secure your booking. It is credited toward your first rent instalment and becomes part of the payment record. Once the tenancy agreement is signed, both tenant and guarantor are fully bound by the contract and all payment obligations.

Can I book without a guarantor?

Yes. You can still secure a booking without a guarantor by paying the full rent in advance. This payment must be made by 1 August 2026, otherwise the booking may be cancelled.

When is rent due?

The first rent instalment is due on 1 August 2026. Further instalments are due on the dates set out in the tenancy agreement. Rent must be paid regardless of student finance or bursary timing.

Are monthly payment plans available?

Yes. If you receive a monthly bursary, you may request to pay rent in monthly instalments by contacting the residents’ team.

The above payment policy is a synopsis of the property’s payment policy. There could be a few changes incorporated from time to time. Hence, we recommend you review the full Accommodation Contract for a comprehensive understanding of their payment policies.
