Most helpful review

The apartment management staff can respond promptly to issues reported by residents. Once, the mirror on the wall of my house fell off, and the apartment management staff helped me order a new mirror and installed it. I would like to give special thanks to Chris and Ross, who often help me with repairs to the facilities in my house.

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.

Had quite a few issues with my loft at check in: exhaust fans were (and still are after lots of complaints) full of dust, electrical sockets coming out of the wall, shower door broken, door handle loose, one of the windows doesnt open (after complaining more than twice and maintenance came but didnt fix it), leaking kitchen tap (even after the staff came to "fix" it, bahtroom sink does not drain. Already notified staff more than 3 times about all the issues and after 2 months, the issues still arent resolved.

The efficiency is very poor. Heating could not be used since moving in and has not been resolved for almost two months and is not working. For three of those weeks there was no hot water (but there was heating, because hot water and heating could only be used either way). The oven also needs to be serviced since i moved in and has not been fixed till now.

All good except delivery receive, I mean sometimes the reception had not a staff and I was not at home, so that the delivery man can’t access the building.

I really recommend this building to everyone. It is my second year of living here and I have also rebooked for the next year. It has friendly staffs, timely maintenance, large space, convenient location, and so many advantages.

If you study at Exeter University and want to live in a loft room, you must not miss Dean clarke lofts. This is a very private, quiet and clean apartment, perfect location, friendly staff, everything is very good!

Amazing location and good distance from St.Likes Campus. About a 20 minute walk to Streatham. If you want to be in the Center of all uni social and night life this is great, but there is no socialising with others in this building. Enjoyed having a flat to myself, but there are a lot of things that needed fixing; and disappointed that some issues took 4 months to sort. Would recommend to others if the maintenance could improve. WiFi is okay, but drops regularly and awful for zoom, teams and FaceTime calls. There is no parking available, so for placements not the best, and the lift goes to the 2nd and not the top floor so when moving in and out ask for help. Have had a good time here.
