Question 1

What do I have to pay and when?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What's included in the 'inclusive rate'?

Accepted Answer

All utilities – electric, gas and water – are included in the rent on a ‘fair usage allowance’ with hot water available 24-hours per day. Heaters are controlled individually by the tenants in their rooms. High-speed internet and Wi-Fi throughout the building, including bedrooms and ethernet cable connection in bedrooms Council Tax – students are exempt from paying council tax, however some councils may charge tenants out of term time, therefore the tenant is liable for any council tax charges that may be incurred. Contents insurance is provided through Endsleigh insurance to cover your belongings for up to £10,000.
