Payment & Cancellation
Payment Terms
What are the payment options?
For most room types and contract durations, we offer two payment options:
Full contract payment: You pay for the full duration of the accommodation in one payment at the
time of booking. Some of our locations will offer you the option of splitting the payment by
making an advanced rent payment on booking, this is usually £200 which is deducted from the
total payment which is due on the 1st August.
NB: If you book a room after the 1st August you will need to make the full payment at the time of
booking.
Instalment plan: The full value of the contract is broken down into several payments spread
throughout the duration of your contract. You will need to make an advanced rent payment
when you book of £200 which is deducted from your second rent instalment.
Please note: To be eligible for an instalment plan you will need a Guarantor.
NB: If you book a room after the 1st August you will need to pay the advanced rent and first
instalment payments at the time of booking – a full instalment breakdown is shown once you
select book now and start the booking process.
