Can I cancel my booking shortly after accepting my offer or paying a deposit?
Yes, you may cancel your booking within 7 days of the following:

• Accepting your offer, or

• Paying your deposit

(This is the initial cancellation period.)

Conditions:

• You must not have moved into the property

Outcome:

• You will receive a full refund of your security deposit
  
  

What happens to my deposit refund if I cancel within the 7-day initial cancellation period?
Refund timing depends on whether the deposit has been transferred to a third-party deposit protection scheme.

If the deposit has NOT yet been transferred:

• A refund is normally made within 28 working days of cancellation

If the deposit HAS already been transferred to a deposit protection scheme:

• A refund may take up to 60 days due to the scheme’s processing time

• The refund will be issued directly by the deposit protection scheme

• You will need a repayment ID issued to you by the scheme to receive your refund

• Once transferred, the landlord cannot influence or speed up the scheme’s processing time

Legal context:

• Deposits are secured in a third-party deposit protection scheme due to legal obligations
  
  

What happens if I cancel after the 7-day initial cancellation period?
You will remain liable for rent.

You will be responsible for:

• Weekly rent (including each week or part-week)

This liability continues:

• Until the room is successfully re-let
  
  

What happens if the room is re-let after I cancel?
If a replacement tenant is found:

• You will be released from the tenancy agreement once the room is re-let

• A £50 variation of the contract fee will apply

• This fee will be recovered by retaining part or all of your deposit

• If your deposit is less than £50, the full deposit amount will be retained
  
  

How is my deposit handled in cancellation cases overall?
Within the 7-day Initial Cancellation Period:

• Full deposit refund, provided you have not moved in

After the 7-day period:

• You remain liable for rent until re-letting occurs

• A £50 contract variation fee applies if the room is re-let

• This fee is deducted/retained from your deposit

• Deposit refunds may be delayed if already transferred to a deposit protection scheme (up to 60 days) and processed by that scheme directly
