Is it possible to pay the rent for my Plymouth student home in instalments?

Yes, you can pay in instalments. However, some providers may require you to have a UK guarantor. Refer back to your accommodation expert for further help on the matter.

What is usually included in the rent?

This mainly depends on your accommodation provider or landlord; many Plymouth student houses offer essential utilities such as electricity, water, and gas in the rent, while some also offer Wi-Fi and insurance at no extra cost. Again, however, referring to the listing pages or contacting an accommodation expert for the specific rent inclusions is recommended.

Are discounts offered to students booking student accommodations in Plymouth?

Yes, students who book early or a while in advance are eligible for good discounts and pay lower rent in Plymouth. You can also save on rent by making a group reservation. Other offers are constantly available; we recommend you keep an eye out for the latest ones on our website!

What is a UK guarantor, and do I need to have one?

A guarantor is a person who signs the rental contract with you and commits to paying your rent if you are unable to do so yourself. A guarantor is often a family member, but it can be anyone. Most UK landlords require you to have a guarantor, so you’ll probably need to find one if you’re planning to study and live in Plymouth.
