    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I book over the phone?

    Yes, absolutely! You will receive detailed assistance with property selection and booking. For more information, feel free to get in touch with the Amber agent.

    Can I view your rooms?

    Yes, of course! You can arrange a time to come for a viewing here. One of their lovely site team members will be able to show you around.

    Who is eligible to book with the management?

    Any full time student can live with property. If you are unsure as to whether you quality please call them on the relevant reception number to discuss your situation.

    If I am doing an internship / placement year, am I allowed to live in the property?

    As long as you are still registered as a full time student and your placement is part of your degree/course then yes, you can still live with management during the academic year. Outside of the academic term, some of their properties are able to accommodate non-students and part time students on a short term basis so do get in touch if this is something you require.

    Can I make special requests on my application such as living in an all-female flat?

    Yes. On their online application you will find a section for additional information. In this section you can state any such special requests. Although they are not able to guarantee every request as it does depend on specific requests, the number of people making requests and the fact that they do not actually allocate rooms until a few weeks before tenancy start they do try their best to make sure as many requests as possible are met. However in the vast majority of cases, they are usually able to successfully accommodate requests such as same gender, postgraduate or undergraduate flats. Its a good idea to contact sites to discuss.

    Are the room pictures on the website of the exact room I would receive?

    The room pictures on the website are only indicative of the room type and not of the actual room you may be allocated. The reason for this is firstly they have so many rooms across the country, that it is not possible to put an image of every single room. Secondly, they receive many room preference requests from students i.e. female only, postgraduates only etc that they must wait until close to check in to allocate an exact room to make sure they do their best to meet resident requests. However you will of course be allocated the room type you have selected.

    Will I get a chance to meet new people and make friends at property?

    Yes, definitely! They run an extensive events calendar across all their sites. An aim of this program is to allow residents to meet each other and make new friends.

    What is your insurance policy?

    By partnering with Endsleigh, the No.1 student insurance provider, they’ve arranged contents insurance for all their students staying with them for free! It is important all students confirm their cover to ensure you understand what is and isn’t covered.

    Which bills are included?

    All your energy, water and insurance costs are included in the rent making it easier to budget and your student loan can go further! Dont forget to check out whether you will need a TV Licence at https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk as the management do not cover this.

    Is there parking provided?

    Unfortunately, they are not able to provide parking at their sites. However, there are on street and off streat options available near all of their sites.

    What is the number of devices that can be connected to the wifi?

    The Wi-Fi network has a limit on the number of different wireless devices that can be registered on the network. The number is devices residents can connect is 3.

    What resources and documents will I need during my stay?

    Contact the sales agent to know the resources and documents you will need in advance of and during your stay.
