Most helpful review

My experience might be unique since I have stayed in Kirkgate Residence for 4 years. The furniture was all second-hand and wear off when I left. I felt diassapointed when Kirkgate Residence deducted 200£ from my deposit for what they claimed "cleaning, repair and maintenance", especially after I have paid nearly 28,000£ for the last 4 years, and even recommended my friends to stay with Kirkgate Residence. When you moved in, they were very welcomed and nice; but when you moved out they tried to find ways to keep your deposit. Even when I asked for proof of 200£, the manager tried to divert me to the maintenance team and said she was busy ???? This is unaccepted behaviour, and I wish future tenants consider carefully to stay with Kirkgate Residence, especially international students like me. Hope my post helpful!

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

House is mouldy. Lots of silver fish. Lots of insects. Ventilators don't work. No one cares to fix it if it's not working even though if u complain about it no one takes action. Everything is old and broken in the room. Staff is very rude.
