What do I have to pay and when?

There are three payment options available at Collegiate.

Collegiate gives you the flexibility to pay your rent in either one full payment or four instalments. To pay in instalments, you’ll need to provide proof of a UK-based guarantor, such as a family member or friend. If you don’t have a UK-based guarantor but would still like to pay in four instalments, this is possible with a 5% upfront fee applied to your total accommodation fees.

Collegiate provides excellent flexibility with our 4-instalment payment plan, designed specifically for students who use student loans and/or grants to pay their rent. We require 4 weeks’ rent to be paid before the tenancy start date as the first instalment, with a larger second instalment due at the end of September, aligning with the timing of most UK student loan and grant payments. This approach helps students manage their finances more effectively at the start of the academic term.
