What’s included in the student’s rent?

All bills are included in your rent, here is a clear breakdown of them all below for you:

Electricity, gas, broadband and water. No need to worry about rising energy costs, we’ve got you covered.

 

High-speed internet and Wi-Fi

Throughout the building and bedrooms, with an ethernet* cable connection in your room. You’ll receive details on how to connect your devices when you move in.

*There is currently no ethernet connection available at Centro Court, Piccadilly Place, Widcombe Wharf, Canal Bridge and Radway House.

 

Council tax

As a student, you don’t have to pay between your course start and end date. Once your course has officially ended, you’ll no longer be classified as a student. So, if you keep living in the UK after your course is over, you’ll have to start paying council tax. To avoid paying council tax, you’ll need to request a Student Status Certification from your university then send it to us so that we can provide it to the council for you. We’ll give you more information on this when you move in.

 

TV

A flat-screen, 32-inch TV, to be precise – with 40 channels. Most of our apartments and studios have a TV in either the bedroom or shared common space – but do check with your accommodation manager to make sure.

Bringing your own TV? There’ll be a TV aerial point in your bedroom, so it’s easy to set up.

Remember: you’re responsible for getting your own TV licence.

 

Personal contents insurance

We’ve got you covered. To see exactly what for, just ask your accommodation manager.

 

Furniture

Please see types of room here for more information on what each room type includes. You’ll always get a comfy bed, desk, chair, bookshelves, wardrobe, and plenty of storage.

 

Cleaning

You’re responsible for cleaning your own room, and your shared kitchen if you’re living in an apartment (that’s fair, right?!). We’ll take care of everywhere else such as corridors and communal areas.

 

Friendly management team

Your accommodation team are like administrators, event planners, and a buddy, all rolled into one. They will:

• Welcome you to your new home, give you your keys and show you around.
• Tell you everything you need to know about the local area – the best shops, where your campus is, and much more.
• Arrange events for your whole building to enjoy (if you have any ideas, they’d love to hear them).
• Keep your parcels safe and email you when they arrive.
• Take your rent payments and answer any questions about booking or accounts.
• Arrange maintenance visits for your room.
• Be there. To talk, to listen, about anything that’s on your mind. If you want to arrange a quiet private chat, just ask.

Head to reception to chat to your accommodation team – that’s their base during working hours. Even after hours though, there’ll always be a resident representative on site for anything you need.
