Yes — all utility bills are included. Your rent covers electricity, heating, water, a Wi-Fi, so there are no hidden extras or separate accounts to manage. Contents insurance is also included in your rent automatically.

Nope – we don’t take a deposit or booking fee. You’ll just pay a small advance rent payment when booking. This isn’t an extra payment – it goes towards your first rent instalment (if you’re paying in full) or your second rent instalment (if you are paying by instalment plan). Simple, stress-free, done. 

If you’re paying in instalments, you’ll need a UK-based guarantor. If that’s tricky, we might be able to help with alternatives like upfront payments or third-party guarantor services — just speak to us early. Find out more in our payment and guarantor guide. 

If you and your friends are booking together, let the property team know your preferences, and they’ll do their best to allocate rooms close to each other.

Health Sciences University is also close, about 15 minutes by bus or 10 minutes on your bike.
