Can i leave things in my room if i’ve rebooked for next year?

If you have a valid tenancy covering the time period, then yes you can. We just ask you to label any items in shared areas to confirm that they belong to you and not to someone else who has already checked out. This will help our cleaners. If your booking finishes in June or July and your next tenancy starts in September, you will need to arrange a Summer Short Stay tenancy to bridge the gap. If you do not have a valid tenancy for the summer months, you will need to move everything out of your room and shared areas as someone else could be occupying the flat immediately after you leave.

My flatmate has broken the microwave; will we be charged for it?

We do charge for damages, however, if the person responsible for causing the damage is willing to take full responsibility then we will only charge that person. If no one accepts the responsibility for damages in a communal area then the charge will be split between everyone in the flat. If this happens, you can discuss this further with a member of our reception team.

My flatmate has left food in the freezer. what do i do?

We recommend you first discuss the cleaning with your flatmates and work out an agreed time for cleaning before you all check out so that the work is divided fairly between you. This includes emptying cupboards and the fridge/freezer. Anything that is left in the freezer once the whole flat has checked out will be removed and a charge may apply.

My flatmate didn’t help to clean the kitchen. what do i do?

We recommend you first discuss the cleaning with your flatmates and work out an agreed time for cleaning before you all check out so that the work is divided fairly between you. If the flat hasn’t been cleaned to a certain standard when we complete the check-out inspection then we will make appropriate charges which will apply to everyone in the flat.

Can i leave my belongings in my room?

Not unless you have booked to continue staying with us in your room and have a valid tenancy. Anything that is left once you have checked out will be removed as we have to get the room ready for the next tenant. A charge may apply if we have to remove any leftover belongings, so please remember to clear everything out when you leave.

What happens if i check out and nobody is at reception?

If reception is not open, look for a fast check out key drop box where you can leave your check out envelope.

Where do i leave my keys?

You will be supplied with a check out envelope – please complete the front of the envelope with your name, room number and future address and leave it at reception. If the address where your deposit cheque needs to be sent has changed, then please also let us know on this envelope. If you need another envelope, please see your reception team.

Why didn't you tell me about the building site next door to the property?

As our properties are situated in prime city centre locations, we sometimes have developments happening nearby. We will advise you about this when you book if we can, however we cannot be held responsible for other companies' building works and are not always kept informed of when works will be taking place.

I don’t get on with my flatmates – what should i do?

Where possible our city teams will try to help you resolve your issues – when a group of new people live together for the first time disputes can happen, so a bit of time can help to sort the problems out. If the problems are more serious then we will always try to move you to another flat if there is room available. We take any form of anti-social behaviour, such as drugs or bullying, very seriously and investigate any complaints.

What does the insurance cover?

You can find out what your insurance includes by viewing the insurance certificate on our website. Some items are not included in our standard package - this includes accidental damage to items in your rooms, and loss or damage to personal items when you are outside your Unite Students property. Laptops and tablets, mobile phones and bicycles are not covered in the standard policy, however you can upgrade your policy so that your laptop, phone, tablet and other gadgets are covered, wherever you and your gadgets are, and this also includes a laptop and mobile phone replacement within 24 hours (one working day) of your claim being approved. You can add this upgrade for a small cost at any time during your stay.

Can i re-book my room?

Absolutely! If you are interested in staying with Unite Students again, visit the My Account section and follow the links for rebooking. We usually start selling our rooms for the following year a couple of months after you move in and we recommend you to act quickly for the best availability and prices. In most cases you won’t even need to pay another deposit, so it’s a really simple process.

How can i pay my rent?

You can pay by credit/debit card or direct debit. You can pay by logging in and clicking on Make A Payment.

Each city has dedicated managers for all our properties; you should be able to find out your manager's name by speaking to the staff at reception. The manager may not always be in your building as they may manage several properties.

What are the reception hours of the property?

Reception hours vary from property to property; most properties will advertise their opening hours at reception.

Is there air conditioning?

Some of our properties have comfort cooling systems and some do not.

Why are my windows restricted?

Your window may have a restricting device that limits how far it opens. It’s there for your safety so it’s important that you don’t disconnect or damage it, or let anyone else do so. If the window fittings do become damaged, you need to tell a member of the property team straight away. We check all the windows and their fittings regularly, to make sure they’re all safe and working properly. Depending on the floor you live on, it may be possible to derestrict your window upon request and with approval from the management of your property. Please speak to your reception team.

I want to leave the accommodation, what do i do?

Please contact your team at the reception desk and they will guide you.

Can you call my university and tell them i am going to be late?

We don’t offer this sort of service I’m afraid. We are only responsible for your accommodation.

My light bulb has broken, where can i buy a new one?

For health and safety reasons we ask that you do not try to replace light bulbs yourself. You just need to raise a Maintenance Request Form via the My Account section. Once logged, the form will go directly to our maintenance team. Issues are rated on severity, so if it is a busy time please bear with us as it may take slightly longer for us to get to you than usual.

I have no hot water. what do i do?

You just need to raise a Maintenance Request Form via the My Account section. Once logged, the form will go directly to our maintenance team. Issues are rated on severity, so if it is a busy time please bear with us as it may take slightly longer for us to get to you than usual.

Many of our properties have a car park for students. There is a weekly cost for booking a car parking space, but you can choose to pay this in instalments.

What happens if i fail my exams during my stay? do i have to leave?

If you leave university during your stay with us you will still be liable for the rent as per the tenancy agreement. Please check the cancellation procedure accordingly.

What is my internet speed? how do i upgrade?

In most of our properties your wireless connection speed will be 25Mb. There is the option of upgrading online to 32Mb. You can even choose to do this for a month at a time.

Can i get a mini-fridge for my room?

In most properties you can bring small appliances for use in your room, but you will be solely responsible for any risk associated with them.

Some belongings of mine have been stolen, what should i do?

If something is stolen from inside your flat, or there has been a break-in, please contact the police and then inform the reception team. You will get a crime reference number from the police which may help you to recover the cost of the items, depending on your insurance cover. The police will usually contact us to obtain the CCTV footage from our Security and Safety Teams to assist them in any criminal matter.

I am locked out of my room/my key doesn’t work. who do i call to get back in?

We have dedicated on-site Service and Safety teams in all our cities – which means that there will always be someone around who can help you with things like new keys. Part of their job is doing patrols of the site and attending to incidents, so don’t worry if there is nobody at reception. You can also install the MyUnite app, which will connect you directly to the Emergency Control Centre if you are locked out.

I am not getting on with my flatmates, how do i complain?

Where possible our city teams will try to help you resolve your issues – when a group of new people live together for the first time disputes can happen, so a bit of time can help to sort the problems out. If the problems are more serious then we will always try to move you to another flat if there is room available. We take any form of anti-social behaviour, such as drugs or bullying, very seriously and investigate any complaints.

An emergency has happened back home and i need to cancel. can i do this?

In emergencies each cancellation request is looked at on a case-by-case basis and an early release is at the discretion of the manager.

My room is not like the website – i want to move. can i do this?

All our show flats, and the images on our website, are representative of a particular room type unless labelled otherwise – however they are not identical. Your room will have all the same features and fittings, just in a slightly different set up. If you are unhappy with your room, please speak to the reception team as there is often something we can do. Where there are other rooms available we will offer these as an alternative. To move room you will need to complete new tenancy paperwork, and there may be a small charge to cover the cost of making your original room ready for a new tenant.

My flatmates never clean our communal area. what can i do?

All flatmates are responsible for keeping the communal areas clean and tidy. We even have a template for a cleaning rota to help you and your flatmates get organised! If you cannot reason with your flatmates after speaking to them then please report it to a member of staff at reception and we will try to help.

There is loud music playing above me, how do i make a complaint?

Speak to a member of staff at reception and they will ask a member of our Service and Safety Team to come to help you.

Can i smoke in my room?

All our properties are non-smoking throughout so please speak to your property team to ask where you can smoke. There are usually outside areas for you to smoke with ashtrays provided.

What happens to my mail if i’m not there to pick it up?

We’ll take in parcels or mail for you during our opening hours. We’ll sign, let you know something has arrived and store it safely until you get back. To pick up your mail you’ll need to bring along some photo ID when we’re open, and sign for it. We can only hold parcels and mail for a week as we have limited space. If you can’t make it in person within a week, someone else can pick it up for you – they’ll need the confirmation of delivery that we’ve sent to you and your photo ID. If you haven’t arranged collection within a week we will not be able to hold your parcel for much longer, as we will need to free up the space for other people's parcels. We won’t accept anything we think may contain offensive, dangerous, illegal or illicit material and/or anything that’s too big or heavy for us to store. We can take anything up to 15kg in weight and 30cm x 40cm x 50cm in size. We’ll do our best to look after parcels safely but, in the unlikely event of something going wrong, we won’t be liable for any damage to, or loss from, any parcel that you’ve authorised us to accept on your behalf.

How do i log a maintenance request?

You just need to raise a Maintenance Request Form via My Account, or alternatively check out the MyUnite app, which will allow you to log maintenance requests easily from your mobile device. Once logged, the form goes directly to our maintenance team.

Can i have friends/family to stay overnight?

We want you to consider your Unite Students room as your home and are happy for you to have guests to stay. All we ask is that you let the on-site team know and that you consider your other flatmates and treat them with courtesy. You are responsible for any guests that you have staying with you and are liable if they cause any problems.

What time can i move in from?

You can move in any time from the start date of your tenancy onwards. If you are going to be arriving much later than the start of your tenancy, just let us know and we will arrange for someone to be there to greet you and make sure you get the keys for your new home.

I haven’t yet signed my paperwork, can i still move in?

We will need your signed tenancy agreement and payment information before you move in.

How can i get from the train station/airport to the property?

There may be many different transportation options but you can pre-book a cab-link to the property before your arrival.

How can i get directions to the property?

The easiest way to get directions would be to search the postcode on Google maps and find the directions on there.

Can you store my luggage if i get it delivered to site before i arrive?

As we will be preparing the room for your arrival, we will not be able to store any luggage for you before you arrive.

Can i have post delivered to site even though i am not there yet?

If you are having anything delivered before you arrive just make sure someone knows that it will be arriving there. You can notify the staff at the property of this so they can look after the parcels for you.

I have been given a time slot but i might miss it?

That’s fine, you can arrive at any time that is best for you and we’ll get someone to come and let you in and get your keys for you.

Where do i get my keys?

You can collect your keys from reception when you check in. Just come straight to the main reception with your photo ID and they will have the keys ready and waiting for you.

Can my family/friends stay for a few nights after dropping me off?

It is best to speak with the staff at the property to find out if this is ok. If it is only for an evening or two, that is usually fine.

Haven’t paid rent yet, can i still move in?

It’s really important that your rent is paid on time. Your first instalment before moving in covers the first part of your tenancy.

What are the reception hours of the property?

These hours can vary from property to property and as business dictates. Most properties will advertise their opening hours at their reception.

What documents do i need to bring to the property when i move in?

Please bring an official form of ID with you e.g. passport or provisional/driving licence. If you have not already returned the original signed tenancy agreement you should also bring these with you.

Our standard tenancies have fixed dates and cannot be changed. However if you are looking to move in earlier it may be possible to book an additional short stay tenancy, this will involve signing another set of paperwork and you will be charged for any additional nights.

I love this accommodation. The staff is incredible and very helpful. The accommodation is at really good place. The vibe is really good. Rooms and furniture and kitchen everything is great and I will definitely recommend this place to my friends, cousins and other relatives. Absolutely one of the best place I have ever lived. Been living here for 2 years and everyone has been so nice especially the staff is soo nice and helpful and caring. Just love it just one need to add the cupboards can be better and study room could be a bit big and gym is missing.

Saw mill is a great place for students to stay. All of the staff are lovely, very friendly and always go out of their way to make sure you feel safe and have a good stay. I will definitely be re booking for next year. The accommodation is always kept very clean and there is always activities on to participate in, where you can make friends and get to know the staff.
