Property reserve the right to cancel your booking and resell your room if you fail to collect your key within 14 calendar days of the booking start date. You remain liable for all amounts due under the agreement until the room is sold and for any lost rental amounts between bookings which Property may deduct from any deposit Property hold.

You remain liable for all amounts due under the agreement until the room is sold and for any lost rental amounts between bookings which Property may deduct from any deposit Property hold.

If after the start date of your booking you would like to be released from the agreement and a replacement resident is found by you who Property believe to be eligible in our absolute discretion, Property will release you from the agreement, from the date the new agreement with the new resident takes effect. Your deposit will then be refunded and Property will charge a fee amount equal to our costs of preparing your room for the new occupant. You will remain responsible for any rental arrears outstanding on the date the agreement ends.

If, after the commencement of your booking, you would like to be released from the agreement but you have not found a replacement resident (as described above) to take over the agreement then Property reserve the right to retain the deposit and you will remain liable for the full rent and other charges detailed in your agreement until the booking ends.

All cancellation requests must be made in writing by emailing or sent directly to your village reception team.

These terms are for direct bookings only and some agreements may differ. The full terms and conditions of your booking can be found in your agreement, which you can access on the resident portal.
