How Much Does an Ensuite Room at iQ Stephenson House in Newcastle Cost?

Student Query

Hi, I am Dani. I am from India and will be moving to the UK soon to pursue my MSc in Management. For that, I will be moving in September. Since it’s best to book the room in advance, I have done so. I booked a Bronze Studio at St James’ Point, but while surfing, I found another good property—iQ Stephenson. I liked the room design and amenities, and now I want to know how much it would cost per week to book an ensuite at iQ Stephenson so I can compare it with what I am paying now.

Student Profile

NameDani Chukka
OriginAndhra Pradesh, India
DestinationNewcastle, United Kingdom
Budget£150/week
Goal

To understand the weekly cost of an ensuite room at iQ Stephenson House, Newcastle, and compare its price, amenities and location with their booked accommodation.

Constraints
  • Wants to compare accommodation costs before considering an alternative.
  • Budget-conscious, with a preference for lower weekly rent.
  • Prefers a private bathroom and kitchen but is open to comparing room types.
  • Needs bills included and wants to understand additional booking requirements, such as guarantors.
  • Wants convenient access to Newcastle University Business School.

Answer Summary

The ensuite room at iQ Stephenson House starts from £234/week on a 44-week contract. The average rent per week of an ensuite in Newcastle is £151. The average rent at IQ Stephenson House is a little higher than St James’ Point Dani had booked, because the property is a newer, more amenity-rich property, with facilities such as an on-site gym, cinema room, and games room included in the rent. Since Dani had a set budget and it didn’t fit, he went ahead with iQ Stephenson.
