    How long do I have to change my mind after booking?<\/strong><\/p>

    There is a 14-day cooling-off period starting from the date the Offer of Accommodation is received. During this time, a cancellation entitles the applicant to a full refund of the holding deposit.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    What happens if I cancel after the 14-day window?<\/strong><\/p>

    Once this period expires, the holding deposit is no longer refundable. Additionally, the applicant and their guarantor become legally responsible for the full terms of the tenancy agreement.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    Can I be released from my contract if I don't get the required grades?<\/strong><\/p>

    Yes. If a first-year student fails to meet entry requirements or chooses a different university after exceeding their grades, they can be released. However, official evidence from UCAS or the university must be provided within 72 hours of exam results.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    What if my UK Visa application is denied?<\/strong><\/p>

    The tenancy can be cancelled with a full rent refund if official proof of the visa refusal is submitted within 72 hours of receiving the notification.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    Can I cancel if I decide to defer my studies for a year?<\/strong><\/p>

    Yes, provided notice and evidence are given at least one week before the tenancy starts. In this specific case, any rent paid is refunded, but the holding deposit is kept as a cancellation fee.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    What if I want to move out early for other reasons?<\/strong><\/p>

    To be released from the contract early, a suitable replacement tenant must be found. This person must be a full-time student, at least 18 years old, and have a UK guarantor. A \u00a350 fee is charged for processing this change. If no replacement is found, the original resident must pay the rent for the entire duration of the contract.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    The above cancellation policy is a synopsis of the property\u2019s cancellation 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 cancellation policies. <\/em><\/p>","payment_terms":"

    What is the purpose of the holding deposit?<\/strong><\/p>

    The holding deposit serves to reserve the room while the application is processed. It must be paid upon booking and sets a 14-day deadline to sign the tenancy agreement.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    What happens to my deposit once I sign the contract?<\/strong><\/p>

    The holding deposit automatically converts into a security deposit. These funds are held in a protected government scheme (TDS) and are returned at the end of the stay, provided no damages or rent arrears exist.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    How is my student status verified?<\/strong><\/p>

    Enrollment checks are conducted with the relevant university. Once confirmed, an official Offer of Accommodation is sent, and the contract becomes available for electronic signature.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    What are my options for paying rent?<\/strong><\/p>

    Rent is generally due in one full annual payment. However, students with a UK-based guarantor can pay in four instalments. The first payment must be settled five weeks before moving in.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    What if you cannot provide me with a room?<\/strong><\/p>

    If a booking cannot be fulfilled and no alternative is available, the applicant will receive a full refund of their holding deposit via the original payment method.<\/p>","building_notes":"","booking_procedures":"","price_structure":"Month","minimum_short_term_week":null,"building_views":0,"videos":"","video_src":"","video_schema_uploadDate":"2019-12-20 06:50:02","virtual_tours":"
