a

Do you charge any administration or finders fees?

Absolutely NOT !! With Unipads, you are dealing directly with the landlords and WE DO NOT CHARGE ANY SIGNING UP FEES.

a

Do you have any houses for 9 or more people ?

No, we have houses for 3,4,5,6, 7 & 8 and some of these are right next to or very near each other, so a house for 4 next to or very near another house for 5 would be ideal for a group of 9. Similarly, a house for 6 next to or near a house for 4 would accommodate a group of 10 and so on. In this way we can actually accommodate groups from 9 up to 20 plus people.

a

How do I reserve a property?

All our properties are offered on a strictly “first come first served” basis. Once you have seen the house and have decided as a group to take it then you need to pay the deposit, sign the tenancy agreement and at that stage the house is reserved for you..

a

Some landlords do not supply a washing machine. Do we have to hire this ourselves ?

No, all our kitchens are fully equipped and include washing machines as well as fridges, freezers, cookers and microwaves. Most houses also have dishwashers and/or tumble dryers.

a

Do we have to pay council tax ?

Students are exempt from council tax and we will give you full instructions how to apply for council tax exemption.

a

We are a group of 5 but really like your 6 bedroom house. Can we still take it ?

Yes you can, but you will still have to pay 6 lots of rent so we do not recommend this course of action. You should really try to find a house for 5.

a

What happens if something goes wrong in the house ?

Our response time is second to none and we are very proud of our record as to how quickly problems are dealt with. We have a number of tradesmen (plumbers, electricians etc.)who usually respond very swiftly if and when a problem occurs.
