Cancellation Policy

To apply for and book a flat or bedroom at a Collegiate UK managed property, you must pay Advance Rent at the time of booking through our online booking system.

The Advance Rent is set as follows:

• £50 for re-bookers (students already living with us who are renewing).
• £50 for direct let bookings (all new applicants).

You will have 3 days from making your booking to sign your Tenancy Agreement. If you cancel your booking within this 3-day period, your Advance Rent will be refunded in full. If you do not cancel within the 3-day period, the Advance Rent will be retained.

Once your Tenancy Agreement has been signed, the Advance Rent will be credited against your first rent instalment due under your Tenancy Agreement.

To cancel your booking, you must notify us in writing by emailing the property where you made your booking.

Release from your Tenancy Agreement

You may be able to cancel your booking or end your Tenancy Agreement in the circumstances set out below.

• You notify us in writing within 7 days of receiving confirmation that you have not secured your place.
• You provide official written confirmation from the university, UCAS or other relevant admissions authority confirming that you have not been admitted.
• We receive this evidence no later than 30 August.

If these conditions are met, your booking will be cancelled and any Advance Rent and rent paid will be refunded.

• You notify us in writing within 7 days of receiving notification that your visa application has been refused.
• You provide official evidence of the visa refusal.
• We receive this evidence no later than 30 August.

If these conditions are met, your booking will be cancelled and any Advance Rent and rent paid will be refunded.

Where your request to be released from your Tenancy Agreement does not fall within this policy, we may, at our discretion, agree to release you if a suitable replacement tenant is found.

Any release will be conditional upon the replacement tenant entering into a Tenancy Agreement on terms acceptable to us.

They made this experience amazingly swift. They\'ve helped me and my friend with everything starting from the accommodation that fits our budget to helping us on how to reach from the airport to our rooms. In my opinion, it can\'t get better than this. Truly thank you.

I am very particular in terms of everything, but Uniacco took care of it. They\'ve picked up my calls every time and been there 24/7 to help me. I came in at the last minute but still was able to find my accommodation and I am so happy with it.

I want to take out time to thank Mitali for being so helpful in finding myself an accommodation. She answered my million questions that too with such calm. I truly appreciate her efforts and I am so happy I came across your website. It is so reliable and hassle free.
