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.

Hello! Thank you for your kind review! However, we believe you might have stayed at a different Chester House. Regardless, we're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay! - Accommodation Team
The food here is decent enough and the shared shower rooms aren't unbearable - however, there is very little sense of community and my personal food has been stolen from the fridge multiple times in just two weeks. There are zero cameras to monitor theft and the staff could not care less about your property. Finally, if you are a student actually looking to have some fun, I really wouldn't recommend Chester House - you won't get the party experience you would at other halls.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback about Chester House. We’re glad you found the food and facilities satisfactory but are sorry to hear about your concerns.

We appreciate your comments and will use them to enhance the experience for residents. - The Accommodation Team
If I'm being honest I wouldn't rate Chester House massively. Location is great- muswell hill is a lovely area. The actual accommodation is basic, does the job but I do feel like it's very expensive for a mediocre place. The main staff aren't very friendly, they didn't put me at ease at all when I first arrived, and it feels like even asking them for you parcel (which is delivered to the office) is too much work for them. The only nice staff are the cleaners and the people in the kitchen! However the food again isn't great, it's like having school dinners all the time. Sometimes you'll chance upon a great meal, but overall it's bland, or beige and often doesn't take into account allergies. I think this could be to do with budgeting, however, as the guy who runs it is so passionate about food, they probably aren't seeing much of the fee we spend. Noise carries so easily I can't remember the amount of times I've been woken up by someone else's alarm.
