No Visa No Pay
The property supports international students as you plan your studies in the UK for the 2025/26 academic year. If your visa plans don’t go as expected, here’s everything you need to know about their visa rejection policy, which applies to full-term, part-term, and semester-let accommodation.

If your visa application is not approved, please provide the relevant proof of refusal to the property at your earliest convenience. Ensure that the documentation is submitted within 48 hours of receiving the decision and no later than 7 days before your tenancy start date.

Here’s how it works:
Proof of Visa Rejection: Please email them the written confirmation (in English) of your visa rejection to admission to the relevant site email address within the required timeframe. They will only accept official written confirmation of the visa decision.
Missed Deadlines: If the required proof isn’t provided by the deadlines, they will apply the usual cancellation terms, and you’ll remain responsible for any rent charges.
Refund Process: Once they will receive and verify the visa rejection proof within the specified timeframe, they will cancel your booking and refund any rent payments in full within 28 working days.
Pending Visa Applications: If your visa status is still pending within 7 days of your tenancy start date, let them know. They will do their best to hold your room, though this will depend on availability and their team’s discretion.
Responsibility: You’ll need to keep track of your visa status and keep them informed throughout the process to avoid any misunderstandings or unexpected charges.
Voluntary Visa Cancellation: If you choose to cancel your visa on your own, the usual cancellation policy will apply.
Visa Termination Due to Conduct: If your visa is terminated due to conduct or legal issues, you’ll remain responsible for any contractual charges, and the usual cancellation policy will apply.
Visa Cancellations During Your Stay: If your visa is cancelled or terminated after you’ve moved in, you must notify the property within 48 hours.

Please note:
1. Each case will be reviewed by the property, and in some cases, the decision may rest with the landlord.
2. If you haven’t collected your keys, you’ll still be responsible for rent from the tenancy start date until an agreed release or cancellation date.
3. If you’ve already moved in, you’ll be liable for rent from the tenancy start date until an agreed release or cancellation date.
4. Final decisions rest with the landlord, and while the property will do their best to provide them with the necessary information on your behalf, they’re not required to approve a release request solely due to visa issues.

Important Note: The property can only accept a cancellation under these terms up and until 7 days before your tenancy start date and if they receive the required evidence within 48 hours of it being published. If you’re unable to provide the required evidence on time, the standard cancellation terms will apply.
