Did you know? If you are a postgraduate student, the booking system will automatically show you available flats with other postgraduate students or students who might be in their final year.
4. Complete your contract
If you are booking Quay Point, you will be asked to provide the details of a guarantor. A guarantor is a person who shares financial responsibility for your contract in the event you are unable to pay your rent.
Top Tip: Make sure you read your contract carefully as it is a legally binding contract. If you don’t understand anything, get in touch, we will be happy to run through it with you.

You will be contacted by Unite Students to confirm your guarantor details and finalise your booking by signing a tenancy agreement and making a £250 advance rent payment.
Once you've completed the process above, the room is secured for you. You will also get access to the MyUnite app to help you connect with flatmates before you arrive.
