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.
Read Stanhope House Reviews
Staff are so so so lovely you couldn't ask for better everyone loves them. My only possible complaint is that the elevators are quite dirty on the walls and floor but not to any extreme extent just basic stains, there is hardly much wrong other than that. Oh and unlike every other accommodation, there are no silverfish which is a very big bonus. We also got a FREE GYM MEMBERSHIP with the PureGym when we moved in which is incredible and lots of different common rooms we can book out, although it would be nice to be able to just walk in without booking them for the sake of social interactions.
What a lovely review, thank you so much! We appreciate the feedback about the lifts & will take that into consideration. Please keep an eye out for the next event in the building, this will be great for getting social with other residents.
The receptionist is really really good and nice, particularly patient with explaining questions ;) the construction maybe a little bit noisy
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, our Assistant Accommodation Manager will be pleased to know she's doing a good job!
the rooms that you can rent out to hang out with your friends really make up of the for the money spend as well as for the size of the swower as compared to the accomadations its not tiny or a wet room
Thank you for your feedback, we're glad you're enjoying the common rooms!
Great experience at Stanhope this year, nice and tidy, quick responses and smooth service. Great customer service, receptionists very welcoming and friendly. Great people and would definitely recommend.
We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for your feedback.
The window of the room is small, quite stuffy during summer, the air is not flowing much especially if the drying machine is drying the clothes.
I'm sorry you found it stuffy - but thank you for the feedback.
Despite the building works happening outside the building being disruptive, the overall experience at Stanhope House has been great. The office staff, Linsey, Amanda and Saffron have been very helpful with every request we’ve had as well as being really nice to just have a chat with. Most other occupants have also been very nice to be around.
Thank you for your review. We do try to minimise the disruption and the compensation is offered for the inconvenience.
Saffron is always around to help or have a chat. As are the Lynsey and Amanda. All the staff are a great help with any issue and can have a laugh with you about anything
We're thrilled that you got on with the staff - we're here to support and happy to chat any time.
Amazing reception staff, property manager is amazing, WiFi is a bit iffy but the property is great
Thank you for your feedback - Lynsey will be thrilled! The Wi-Fi is being updated at the end of this year.
The reception staff and property manager are amazing
Thank you for the lovely feedback.

We're so pleased you rebooked with us & that you have made use of the common rooms.
Words fall short to describe the LIST of issues I faced with the building, property staff and management &more. It is terrible accommodation. They did not care about the excessive time building delay us students faced and made all of us fulfill payments for the TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION they placed us in deceitfully for longer then the alleged 'two week' period. -Did not protect my tenancy deposit for the period of 8 months until I questioned them about it when realised. - No security managing the building - No CCTV and other promised facilities The management was incompetent and heartless. They didn't respond to any of my emails when I was seeking help and answers, They have no consideration to confidentiality and Code of Standards. Appalling overall, could continue to write a whole book on their BS! FEEL FREE TO LIVE THERE. WISH there was an option of NO STARS!
Great place to lice in. Numerous common rooms. Comfortable stay
It is really bad accommodation. They don't really care about any of them that lives in their accommodation. No support given. Lived in a temporary accommodation before moving in and still paid the full weekly amount for that temporary accommodation even though we didn't want to be there. The management is really bad. They didn't respond any of our emails when we were seeking help.
