Why do I have to pay a deposit?
This is for two reasons. Firstly, to show us that you really do intend to take the room and secondly to cover the cost of any damage or money that you might owe us at the end of your stay. If you fulfil all your contractual requirements, your deposit is separate from your rent and is returned within 28 days of your departure.

I want to move in before the date stated on the website?
I am sorry but the earliest date you can move in is as stated on our Website. The building will not be ready for you to move in any earlier than this date
I want to stay past the last date stated on the Website. Can I do this?
Again, we are unable to help you after the date stated no our Website as the building will be closed to enable us to prepare the building for a new intake of University students.

If you cancel with less than 28 days to go, we will retain the deposit in full as a cancellation fee.
When will I get my deposit back?

To park outside the building, there are meters for short-term parking. Word of advice, make sure you read the street-parking instructions carefully and if you're on a meter, keep an eye on the time, because they're pretty eager to clamp cars and fine you.

Just pop into the on-site office, by the main gate. It's open Monday – Friday 8.30am – 1pm and 2pm – 4.30pm. Outside office hours, we have subwardens on duty until midnight and we will give you information about them when you come to stay.
What's the difference between the room sizes?
The rent differs depending on the size of the bedroom. The room category details are provided in a link along with the term-time licence agreement when you apply.
Every bedroom at Claredale is a different size. The amount of bedrooms in a flat has no bearing on the size of the bedrooms in a flat.

When you apply, you can let us know your room category preference but we cannot guarantee we will be able to offer you the type of room you asked for.
All rooms are furnished in the same way.
Can I share a flat with my friends?
You can request to share with your friends but we cannot guarantee we will be able help you with your request. If we can, please bear in mind this might affect the size of the bedroom we are able to offer you.
Can I apply for a room at both buildings at the same time?
We will only consider your application based on your first choice of building so please only apply for one building.
