Frequent Asked Question (FAQ's)

Is it possible to prolong my tenancy?

Certainly, if your current room is still vacant, we would be delighted to extend your stay. Kindly get in touch with us, we will be pleased to facilitate this arrangement for you.

Is there parking provided at my accommodation, and what is the associated cost?

Parking is available at some of our properties, and students can reserve spaces on a first-come-first-served basis. The parking fee varies depending on the property.
For details on parking availability at your accommodation, refer to your property welcome guide. Locate your welcome guide here.

Why is my credit no longer visible on my statement?

If there's a credit on your account, it will no longer be displayed on your account statement. However, if you have an upcoming future instalment (within the next 10 days), any previously shown credit on your account has now been utilized to offset the upcoming instalment. This means that the rent will be deducted, with the amount being reduced by the credit on your account.

What types of bank cards are accepted for payments on the Unite Students Website?

Accepted bank cards for making payments on the Unite Students Website include Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard, Maestro, and UnionPay.

Which currencies can I use for making payments?

Payments made via Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard, or Maestro will be in GBP (£).
For Chinese students making payments via UnionPay credit or debit cards, payments will be displayed in GBP (£) during the payment process. However, the bank will deduct the amount in CNY or RMB (¥).

Can I make payments using UnionPay?

If you are an international customer and unable to pay by Direct Debit or CCRA (recurring card payment), it might be possible for you to pay via UnionPay through your online Customer Account or during your booking.

What happens if I can't make a payment?

Instalment due dates are outlined in your tenancy agreement, and by accepting the contract's terms and conditions, both the customer and guarantor are accepting responsibility for payment on the provided dates. If you cannot make a payment, please communicate with your property team. They can discuss your payment options and advise you on any potential implications based on the lateness of the payment.
