Q&A


Q
To start with - there are no windows that you can open in all the studios. As much as the staff is nice, most people who used to work in the building are now gone. Security understands me better in French than in English. The washing machine on my floor has not worked in weeks and is full of smelly water (I reported it a few times). For that reason, doing the laundry means travelling between floor

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.

The location is good as it is very close to the Moor and several food shops but it is a bit far from the University of Sheffield. The common room is nice but the lifts and hallways are cramped and they are dark. People also have reported silver fish and malfunctioning lights the first month I moved in

Although there have been issues with hot water during the start of my stay, the staff were always on the job resolving it and reaching out to keep tenants updated which was greatly appreciated. Top staff mention for Charna being the buildings rock getting us through any issues and resolutions. Also holding events for tenants to socialise has been a great joy. Always a joy to see and have a natter with!

Good value for money and great location, not too close to any parks but close to everything else with good transport links. Not very social but offers privacy and space with good sound insulation between apartments. Building is only run by two full time staff who can be busy but maintenance issues are usually promptly seen. Good quiet place to live.

Initially chose to stay here because of the overall aesthetic of the rooms and the close proximity to shops and train station etc, but would now stay here forever if I could due to the amazing onsite staff. As per any accommodation there have been issues with the building but the way the on site staff (Charna in particular) have dealt with them has been truly admirable! I’ve really enjoyed living here this year and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for accommodation in Sheffield.

My experience at Redver Towers has been, so far, brilliant. Close to main bus stations as well as shopping centre, restaurants and pubs. Uni is literally two minutes away, which is great for those of us who love to sleep! The hospitality team has been impeccable during my stay and whenever I needed help, they were quick to provide it. Could not recommend it more!

I’ve had a great time living at redvers so far. The location is great, with shopping, bars and restaurants all close by, but most importantly my university is a literal stones throw away, meaning I don’t have to travel too far or wake up too early in the morning! The hospitality team (Marija and Megan) are both great, and work hard to make everyone feel welcome in the building, as well as putting on events and competitions - they’re always there for a chat if you need one, and happy to help with anything you need (within reason of course). I’m glad to say I’ll be rebooking for next year ☺️

It's been a really good experience living here. The rooms are great value for money and have an unusual amount of storage space. Everything is always very clean and the management team are quick to respond if there are any issues. The location is very central. The management team regularly organises events, which is a great way to meet people living in the building and creates a very friendly atmosphere.

It has been a fantastic experience to stay in such a lovely place, which is situated right at the city center. It is incredibly convenient for shopping, dining as well as leisure activities. There is even an in-suit gym for exercise! Redvers Tower is being well-looked after by Marija and Megan; they are extremely friendly and helpful. Furthermore, they arrange a whole range of social activities, including quizzes and Eurovision party! Will definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a nice place to live in Sheffield!

i've been living at redvers since january 2020 . The building wasnt great before, as we had no hot water in the beginning, the wifi was constantly off,no heating and lifts breaking daily... but since new management took over they done lots of works and we are loving it now! The new team is great and maintenance man is lovely. I had a broken lightbulb and it got changed the same day! The location is amazing,only 2mins from Hallam university and all the main clubs and nicest cafes are on the doorstep. I love the gym on site and cant wait until the cinema room re-opens again!! Would highly recommend to anyone! :)

Worst Internet. Always dirty in common areas like down stairs and hall ways. Carpets are filthy. Floors are sticky. The building is falling apart. Been under 3 different management teams in two years its that bad. Black mould, windows let water and wind in, air con/heating doesn't work. It's awful. Expensive too (210 per week)

If you want to live in a building that is not fit for purpose or living in, and is falling apart... Well this is the place for you. Complete with the worst WiFi ever, and leaking windows thst cause apartments to flood. Staff who don't care at all, broken promises, and 10k a year down the drain. Definitely avoid.
