We know that money matters and understand that when looking for a student property, knowing what to pay, why your paying and how to pay can all be a little bit confusing so below you can find all of this information.
What will I need to pay and why?
Deposit
Once the agency fee payment has been made you will have 7 days to make deposit payment. The deposit is most commonly equal to 1 or 2 months rent. This is then protected in one of the 3 government schemes and will be returned to you at the end of the tenancy subject to the condition of the property
Summer Rent
If you are living in a property that has specific summer rental terms such as half or three quarter rent this will need to be paid before the 1stJuly. You can either pay the full amount for both July and August or make the payments for 1 month at a time. As all rent payments are due on the 1stof each month we recommend setting up a standing order or sending your rent for the 25thof the month to ensure that funds always clear in time.
Monthly Rent
If you are living in a student property, with specific summer rental terms, then full rent will be due from the 1stSeptember for the rest of the academic year. This will need to paid via standing order that must be set up by each individual tenant. We request that standing orders are set up for the end of the month to ensure that funds always clear in time if the 1stfalls over a weekend or bank holiday.
Who do I pay and how?
The payments of the agency fee, deposit and deposit protection fee (DPS fee) will all be made to ourselves as an agency. You have a choice of how you chose to make these payments:

When making rent payments, who you pay this too is dependent on whether the property you are renting is managed or let only. These details can be found on the front page of your agreement along with the bank details of your landlord, should you be renting one of our let only instructions.
If you are renting one of our managed properties you will need to make payment to the following details:

We do ask that for all tenants in managed properties, a standing order is set up for the 25thof each month to ensure that funds always reach your account. You can set up a standing order on your online banking, in one of the branches that you bank with or you can come into our office and fill out a standing order form on paper. Without a standing order set up, we will not be able to release keys unless this has been previously discussed.
