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.

Staff are very helpful in resolving issues and are very kind and friendly. Only wish there was better heating for rooms, very difficult to study when my room won’t warm up!
Great location close to train & bus station. Close to the clubs and pubs also the university.
Really good affordable accom, staff are lovely and I’ve not had any problems.
A very friendly welcoming place to live, the staff are always on hand to answer any questions. The rooms are cosy and comfortable. Great social spaces to spend time with friends. Overall a great place to live
Hi There, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! :)
Sanctuary moorlane is every students dream, it is afoordable and 5mins from school, 1min from grocery stores, has a gym, library and social space. I am really enjoying my time here.
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are glad to hear you are enjoying your stay :)
This accommodation is good value for money, considering it is one of the cheapest options around, however this is reflected in the services. For example, when I first moved in I noticed a large crack above my window, that was later leaking due to heavy rain, this was producing mould around the window, and needed to be fixed. I had to mention this to the maintenance and reception team at least twice before it got inspected, and following this, I had to enquirer about it a further 3 times in order to find out if they were going to fix it. 4 months later and the crack still has not been fixed, but I have been notified of a private contractor coming to fix it, but have not been told when this will happen. So the cost of the accommodation is brilliant, however the speed at which complaints and issues are dealt with is not efficient and most of the staff members are not made aware of these issues, therefore we have to chase up the complaints for a long while for someone to do something
Flat was not cleaned before moving in. Equipment given (toaster, kettle, ect) not of the best quality. Curtains are not included in rooms.
This accommodation is beyond expectations it is definitely worth the money and the member of staff are extremely nice and understanding which I believe is crucial especially when living alone. All services here are done quickly this includes maintaining the cleanliness of the building and the safe atmosphere with a good location and internet. One thing I would like to point out is that I believe its not fair to pay £50 if you want to move rooms, I understand that this prevents a loophole in every one trying to move, but this aspect should judged on a case to case basis, some people may genuinely want to move for legitimate reasons and its a bit harsh to pay £50 for that. However other then this everything else about Moorlane halls is perfect.
Hi There, thank you so much for your lovely review! We appriciate you sharing your experiences living with us.
I love living here , all the staff are beyond lovely , from the reception staff to the cleaners they all don’t hesitate to throw in some small talk , the rooms are nice and cozy for uni halls and the accom is well maintained

Hi There, thank you so much for leave us a review! :)
The living here is a great pleasure , affordable and near to the university which is a plus point here. The social space with snooker and other activities around were great. Also there is a high demand among our flatmate where table tennis should be available. I will be more than happy if they include tabtennis please
Hi There! Thank you so much taking the time to leave your feedback and write us a review! :)
Great accommodation- perfect location, close to the uni and all the popular spots in the city, friendly and co-ordinating staff members, cool flatmates, clean and good social spaces, value for money. Don't think I'm moving somewhere else till I graduate.
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are glad to hear you have enjoyed your stay with us:)
i’ve really enjoyed living at moor lane, modern living, affordable prices with gym & social spaces available within the price!
Hi There, Thank you so much for leaving us a review!
Good experience throughout, help is always there whenever needed. Good value for money and room is on par or better than most other places.
Hi There, Thank you so much for leaving us a review! :)
My experience in student accommodation has been positive overall. I pay a decently cheap and affordable price compared to other cities, especially considering the amenities provided. I have an ensuite room, which offers great privacy, and I only share the kitchen with three other people, making it an easy going place to stay in an di have never had any issues with my flatmates. Maintenance is efficient and quick to address any issues that arise, and the security here is reliable. While problems with other residents are rare, it’s reassuring to know that the security team is there to handle such situations if needed. There’s also a common room, which is a nice addition. However, I do wish it was open 24 hours, as it was in some of the accommodations I stayed in previously. That said, I truly appreciate the availability of a gym on-site, which adds to the convenience and value of living here.
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your feedback and write a review! :)
Great value for money, staff are welcoming and respond well to any issues.
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! :)
The accommodation has been really welcoming and responds to any issues quickly by email and put their time and effort into making sure that there are minimal issues. The staff also care about people’s safety and make sure that everyone is being treated fairly
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We hope you have enjoyed your stay with us so far :)
From my start In September it has been nothing but a great experience for me, as I try to move into my adult life seeing how it is living alone
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review :)
The grounds are always kept clean. The staff are very helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with issues. Except for a delay in fixing the hot water problem in our flat everything else has been fine.
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are sorry to hear of your experience with the hot water in your flat. We work with our contractors to try to get maintenance issues such as this resolved as swifty as possible. Apologies for the delays that impacted this getting resolved faster!
A good place to live while in uni! It’s close to most of my classes and flats are a good size. The kitchen and living room has everything I need and is large enough to host many of my friends. Staff are friendly and helpful and maintenance is generally very prompt when dealing with issues. It’s been super helpful to have a front desk/24h maintenance that can receive packages. The gym is a nice feature but is fairly small and some of the equipment is often out of order.
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review!
I lived here for my second year and it was super great- it’s not down by the roundabout so it’s quieter than most accommodations, and a nice 3 min max walk to the closest pub and shops, would recommend
Hi There, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! :)
Moor Lane has excellent staff who work hard to ensure everything is running smoothly. They are lovely people and if they’re are ever any issues they try to resolve them quickly. The accommodation itself has everything I would need. 5 stars for everything except the WiFi is sometimes dodgy but when it is moor lane contact the WiFi provider and get it sorted.
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! :)
I am very much satisfied with sanctuary students since I moved in August 2024, because the place is worth the money, and in great location for accessing everything and also providing all the amenities.I'm sad because my student period is ending soon ,so I needed to move out from here.I will miss my room it was so cozy always felt like a home away from home.I hope more people could find sanctuary students , especially moor lane halls to get a comfy and safe place 🤍.
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so glad you enjoyed your time staying with us! :)
Overall good experience living at moor lane halls, the rent prices are good for what I live in. However there has been a few maintenance problems that have taken a while to be seen to such as the tap in the toilet, the kitchen window not closing and the toilet being broken.
Hi There, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. I am sorry to hear about your previous maintenance issues. We do work with our trusted contractors to get these issues resolved as swifty as possible and can only apologies for any difficulties faced by delays in completion.
This accomodation is perfect. The price is wonderful for students that are currently leaving in a period of economic recession, furthermore we have a gym that works and the accomodation is just 3 mins away from the university campus. The staff are so helpful and caring always ready to help you if you have any issues. I am very happy that I moved to this accomodation for this current academic year cause last year my accomodation was expensive, far from the university main campus and we also have an infestation of cockroaches in the kitchen which was very stressful.
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are glad to hear you have had a better experience living with us! :)
Best accomodation ive had both in cost and comfort
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! :)
This was a wonderful place for my university experience, it is close to campus and the library. It also has an on-site gym and the reception is so helpful. They have 24/7 help and that really keeps my mind at ease if anything goes wrong. The social spaces allows me to socialise with my friends and make new friends. The events held during the year also helped me to find new friends and see members of staff who were friendly and accommodating.
Hi There, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! :)
Best place for any international student to live in.
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! :)

Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! :)
Could not have asked for a better one, especially first time student living alone I couldn’t have choosen a better accommodation from the living experience but also the extra help they offer and the facilities but also little suprises and events !
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! :)
Really nice accommodation, friendly staff. Ideal location, close to campus and city centre. Value for money.

Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! Please keep in mind, if noise at any time is getting a bit to loud, you can call our 24 hour security number on 07546558555.
For £65 a week I can't complain with anything.
Hi There, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We hope you have enjoyed living with us:)
Place is much affordable for students and it's just a minute walk from uclan buildings which is more convenient and staff are really nice.
Hi There, Thank you so much for leaving us a lovely review! :)
Everything is really good but had a couple of issues. One being the lift broke down with me and 2 friends in it and no one knew what to do really. Other problem was the flat I lived in had some issues and the security either never came or would take hours to come. Other than them issue I think sanctuary students are really good and I have even booked again for next year.
Hi There, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are glad to hear you have rebooked with us for next year! :) We are sorry to hear of some issues you mentioned, we will look into this.
Quite like where is located, everything is nearby
Hi There, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review!
Great experience so far. People party a bit too much for my liking, otherwise there are no real issues.
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are happy to hear you are enjoying living with us! Please keep in mind, if noise from a party is getting a bit to loud, you can call our 24 hour security number on 07546558555.
Moor Lane Halls is one of the best student accommodations in Preston. It is very close to the University (less than 5 minutes walk). The rooms are equipped with ultra-modern facilities. I will highly recommend for any student that wants a cool place to stay while in school.
Hi There, Thank you for your lovely review! We hope you are enjoying your stay! :)
I have enjoyed my time at this accommodation it’s student friendly and they have some good supermarkets in the area
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! :)
I pay £99/week for an en-suite with a small double and think that it’s really good value for money. The bathroom is a decent size / big shower, as well as lots of storage in the room including under the bed. The kitchen and living room are huge with plenty of seating for everyone! The social spaces are very adequate but the recycling facilities aren’t brilliant. However, in saying that, I am 90% sure I’ll be staying there next year also for my 3rd year.
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we appreciate your lovely comments and feedback! We hope you do decide to live with us again :)
Very good for the price, location and staff. It isn't the 5 star hotels of university accommodation but it does more than suffice and I would thoroughly recommend.
Hi There, thank you for leaving us a review, we appreciate your feedback!
Great experience so far and I enjoy using the gym just wish the kitchen was cleaner. On arrival it would be beneficial to provide students with items that are necessary
Hi There, We are happy to hear you are enjoying living with us! If you are experiencing issues with cleanliness, feel free to contact the management team on 0151 224 0375, we are happy to help.
I have been able to settle in well thanks to the warm welcome i received and the receptionists are approachable and friendly to talk to.
Hi There, We are so happy to hear your lovely comments and hope you are enjoying living with us! :)
Everything about the accommodation was exceptional. It was clean, stylish with excellent service. Room was good and great value for money and service was attentive and efficient. Room itself was well equipped and comfortable. The maintenance services are also very quick.
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We appreciate your lovely comments and hope you enjoyed living with us! :)
The staff are friendly, i’ve been having issues with flatmates however and they’re not particularly helpful in solving the issues. the room is nice but the shower has a few issues
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with your flatmates. Please feel free to contact the management team on 0151 224 0375 to discuss this further, we are happy to help.
It’s a good affordable place for students. The place is clean, rooms are spacious enough and a friendly community.
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We hope you are enjoying your stay with us.
Satisfied, easily accessible, good location
Hi There! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! :)
Always have good deals for students struggling for money, so it's my second time in their standard accommodation. Nice to have onsite laundry, common room and gym, which is rare for halls of this price. The bedrooms are very roomy with a double bed, and there's a separate shared shower and toilet room which makes things much easier. My main concern is that the bathroom has no proper ventilation so mould grows quickly and is a pain to remove. Once you can get used to climbing the stairs (if you're on the top floor like me), it's mostly well worth the money when you can get the price reduced (I paid £65 a week this year).
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties with the ventilation within the bathrooms, feel free to call the maintenance team at Moor Lane on 07546558555, they can investigate this issue for you.
Some of these benefits include laundry and cleaning services, more enhanced security features, access to transportation, free Wi-Fi access, a gym that is on-site, along with many other things.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! :)
I have enjoyed my time at sanctuary students , the staff and security are so lovely and helpful with everything. Would definitely recommend this accommodation to future students.
Hi There, thank you for your lovely review! We hope you are enjoying living with us!
Elevators been broken for weeks
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate that the lift being broken is inconvenient. Rest assured, the team at Moor Lane are doing all we can to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding thus far.
A Very good and healthy living space, would recommend.
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We appreciate your lovely comments!
The reception staff are genuinely lovely & really helpful!
Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We appreciate your lovely comments:)
A pigeon came into my room while I was away and defecated on my desk. Pretty noisy at night from nearby accom. Room was a bit of a shoebox. Other than that, very friendly people at reception and always happy to help
Hi, thank you for your feedback.
The accomodation was cleaned regularly and any maintenance issues were resolved promptly. The common room could have benefited from being open 24/7 given that their was on-site security nearby at all times. The Wi-Fi connection could be spotty for periods of time, but any known issues (such as maintenance) were given enough warning beforehand. Staff were pleasant and efficient at their jobs.
Hi, Thank you for your review and feedback.
It's been a great time living at Moor Lane, the staff have been so nice and accomodating 😊
Hi There, The team are so happy to hear you have enjoyed your stay with us! :)
Best student accomodations.very friendly behavior with everyone
Hi There, thank you for your lovely review! We hope you have enjoyed your stay with us so far.
Moor lane halls has been an amazing place to live and I have chosen to live there again next year, recommending it to all my friends. The office staff are always very welcoming and inviting and are happy to help with any issues or queries. The maintenance crew come over to the flat as soon as you call them to look over the problem and even fix it then and there if they can, even with larger issues they will keep us updated and let us know when they will sort it out for us. The rooms are not as claustrophobic as some accommodations and have lovely grey and white furniture. The kitchen is spacious and have never had a problem storing all my kitchen stuff and food, it has a massive area for food prep and a tv area with couches. The pool table is a great way to speak to new people and also enjoy a game with flat mates for free, always a good way to break the ice if you all don’t know eachother. The gym is also a great bonus, free and no walking distance.
Hi There! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are happy to hear you have chosen to live with us again next year! Don't forget, if you refer a friend make sure you fill in the refer a friend form before they apply! Get yourself and your friend a cheeky £100 voucher :)
Great experience from Sanctuary Students Accommodation Preston. Staff are very friendly and resolve complaints quickly. Also they provide free gym, games and party. Value for money.
Hi There, Thank you so much for your lovely comments! We have more parties planned for this year too, we hope to see you there! :)
The best student accommodation I have witnessed. Already feels like my second home.
Hi! We are so happy to hear you feel at home living with us! Thank you for your kind review.
I have stayed here the whole time I’ve been at university and I cannot recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived i had a positive experience. The staff were friendly and helpful with everything. Everything was easy to book and arrange, they even allowed me to arrive early. Any issues I have had with flat mates they have been there to help with. When I have had hard times with my course or flat mates they have supported me. The accommodation is standard but for the price you can’t moan at all. Still the cheapest accommodation in Preston and so close to all local amenities. I’ve loved staying here and will miss the staff and friends I’ve made whilst living here.
Hi There, A big thankyou from the team for sharing your experience living with us! We appreciate your lovely comments :)
Loved the 3 years I’ve stayed here for. Absolutely amazing staff and are always there to help with whatever you need. It’s so close to everything you need as a student and I’m definitely going to miss living at Moor Lane. I’ve made amazing friends living here and if I’ve ever had a problem with maintenance or anything it’s always fixed as soon as they can.
Hi There, We are happy to hear that you have enjoyed your stay with us! Thank you for your lovely comments!
It's home away from home. The best place to live and enjoy your student life. Hands down.
Hi, thank you for your lovely review! The Moor Lane team are happy you have had a great time with us!
