Pillar Box

To apply for and book, a flat or bedroom at a Collegiate UK managed property, you must pay £100 to reserve the room (described herein as “Reservation Rent”). This payment is made at the time of booking through our on-line booking system.

You will have 7 days from making your booking to sign the Tenancy Agreement. The Reservation Rent is fully refundable if you cancel your booking within this period.

Once the Tenancy Agreement has been signed, the Reservation Rent will be held until the first rental payment falls due under your Tenancy Agreement and will be offset against the amount due.

To cancel your booking, you must tell us in writing by sending an email to the property you booked with.

You may be eligible to be released from your agreement if:

General Conditions
• Any refund due will be processed within 14 days of receiving the necessary evidence.

It is important that you understand that when you sign your Tenancy Agreement, you are entering into a legal agreement with the Landlord, and are liable for the full rent due for the Residential Period.
