Accommodation Guide 2015 – 2016

3

If you are thinking of joining University of the Arts London and are thinking about where you are going to live, the Accommodation Services team can give you the advice you need.

Our halls of residence are clean, safe places to relax, study, create and socialise. They are bases for communities who support each other to make the most of London life as a UAL student.

Full-time students in every year of study are welcome in our halls of residence. We have 13 halls across London which are home for around 3,200 students. All our halls are self-catered, which means that all residents cook for themselves in their own kitchens. What’s more, every site has 24-hour CCTV. If you would prefer to rent privately, our dedicated Private Accommodation Advisor can give you advice and read through rental contracts.

We are here to help you all year round. We know having a great home is an important part of university life and we want to support you every step of the way.

Best wishes,

Before You Apply

ContractsWhether you’re in halls or privately rented accommodation, you will need to sign a tenancy contract. Make sure you read the contract carefully as it’s a legally binding document. You need to understand when your agreement begins and ends, how much your rent will be and when you need to pay it, what deposit and administration fee (if required) you will be expected to pay in advance and what your options are for beginning or ending your tenancy outside of the agreed period. You may also have the option to set up a payment schedule or to pay full rent in advance.

Student ID NumbersWhen you’re accepted to study at UAL you’ll receive a unique student ID number. It’s usually the first three letters of your family name followed by eight numbers, e.g. ABC12345678

You’ll need this when you apply to UAL halls. Contact your College office if you have any queries about your ID number.

SecurityEvery hall has 24-hour CCTV covering the inside and outside of the building. All residents will be given an electronic card, fob or key on arrival – without this, you can’t enter the building. Staff are available at all times, usually on site, and a member of the Accommodation Services team can be contacted by the halls team at any time.

InventoriesWhen you arrive in halls or privately rented accommodation you’ll be asked to complete an inventory. This lists everything in your room, and it’s very important that you check every line on the inventory carefully and fill it out in detail and return it quickly. We’ll use your inventory to check for damaged or missing items at the end of your tenancy. Let us know if you find that something is broken or damaged when you arrive so we don’t take repair costs from your deposit when you leave.

There is a lot of information you need to consider whether you’re renting in a UAL hall or through private accommodation. If you have any questions about any of the topics covered here, contact the Accommodation Services team on +44 (0)20 7514 6240.

Please also see www.arts.ac.uk/accommodation for full details.

Rent and GuarantorsLondon is the most expensive UK city to live in. We understand all students are on a budget and we aim to make all our halls as affordable as possible. For some halls and for most private accommodation you’ll either need a guarantor (someone who agrees to pay your rent if you can’t) or you’ll need to pay a large proportion of your rent in advance. Please note guarantors are most common in privately rented accommodation and the guarantor needs to be a UK resident.

Students under 18If you’re under 18 at the start of your contract you’ll need a ‘duty of care agreement’ signed by your parent or guardian before you move into your hall. Search ‘Information for applicants’ at arts.ac.uk for more information.

15

Before You Apply

Utility CostsAll our rental prices include electricity, water, gas and internet. Laundry facilities are available in all halls and cost about £5 each week. Contents insurance is also included, but check the terms carefully if you have anything of high value that might require extra cover.

TV LicencesTo watch live broadcasts on any device, including a computer or tablet, you will need to buy a TV Licence. A licence costs £145.50 per year and information for students can be found at www.tvlicensing.co.uk. Please note this doesn’t apply to a TV in your common room.


TransportLondon is an amazing but vast city and it’s not unusual for a commute to College to take 45 – 60 minutes. It’s important to think about this when choosing where to live. For example, it takes 40 minutes on the tube from The Costume Store to London College of Communication.

We recommend downloading the CityMapper App, an easy way to plan your journeys in and around London. Check out tfl.gov.uk too.

Adjustments for disabled studentsWe have a wide range of accessible accommodation and it’s our priority to make sure you feel at home and at ease during your studies. If you have an access need which requires specific arrangements (for example, step-free access; vibrating alarm systems or ensuite facilities) please contact our dedicated Disability Liaison Officer on [email protected]

Your personal information is kept confidential and we’ll do our best to accommodate your specific access requirements.

If you’d like more information about Disability Services and the advice and support available, please contact +44 (0)20 7514 6156 or email [email protected]

Student’s Views

Cordwainers Court

‘Cordwainers Court is totally awesome. Fab location, great people, wicked hall manager. Everything’s so close from Tesco and Lidl to Hackney overground and bus routes at your doorstep, not only that but the delightful London Fields and Broadway Market are a few steps away. Pubs, bars, salmon, books, anything you want you can get. Halls are great, you meet loads of cool people and Cordwainers common room is major chill and homely. Top banana. Defo recommend’.

Sophie Rush

The Costume Store

‘The Costume Store is safe and convenient with the tube station being a 30 second walk across the road. There’s a great community spirit with over 700 students you can never feel bored! We’ve also got Costa, Tesco and a local pub all less than a minute from your doorstep’.

Lucy Willcock Will Wyatt Court

‘Coming from a small seaside town very different from London I was quite honestly nervous about moving here, but moving into halls made it 100% easier. It gave me confidence and introduced me to 100s of new people all feeling the same. Living in halls has given me so many opportunities, taking part in all sorts of activities from going on a late night celebrity look out around Hoxton to a sleepover in the kitchen with all my flat mates. Being here has helped me cross that bridge between living at home and being very independent’.

Student Welfare Mentors

Your Student Welfare Mentor is a trained postgraduate student living in your hall to offer you advice and help you with anything that has an impact on your life at UAL.

This is your opportunity to speak to a fellow UAL student impartially, confidentially and informally. Moving away from home and to a new city can sometimes bring new challenges; your Student Welfare Mentors are here to make you feel at home.

Your Student Welfare Mentor will have up to three weekly drop in sessions. Chat to your Mentor about anything from settling into hall life, housemate concerns, managing your work, moving away from home to making friends.

Search ‘Living in halls’ at arts.ac.uk to find out more

Airport Collection

We offer a free, one-off airport collection service to students coming to UAL for the first time from non-EU countries. We will arrange a taxi driver to meet you at the airport and take you to your accommodation. Search ‘Airport Collection’ at arts.ac.uk for booking details.

Electrical Items

UK plug sockets aren’t compatible with non-UK plugs, so you will need adaptors for your electrical items – you can buy them from many shops throughout London or at airports. Please remember to check that your items are compatible with the UK’s 220–240V / 50 Hz power supply (not standard in North America) and note that ‘cube’ style adaptors are not permitted for safety reasons.

International Student House

International Student House arranges social and cultural events throughout the year, including free cinema screenings every Sunday, discount tourist trips around the UK and Europe, sports events and much more. You’ll automatically become a member when you join UAL so you can join in for free. Visit ishevents.org for more information.

Safety

London is not a dangerous place, but as with any big city, it is important to take care of your personal possessions and be street-smart. Search for ‘International’ at arts.ac.uk for useful safety advice prepared by the British Council.

Student Visas

If you want to stay in halls you do not need to have your room booked when you apply for your student visa. However, when you apply for your visa, you will be asked to give the full address of where you will be residing in the UK including the postal code. If you do not yet know the address, you can state that your Tier 4 sponsor is arranging your accommodation and include Accommodation Services’ contact details.

It’s important for you to note that many of our tenancy contracts last for 42 or 51 weeks and your visa may not cover this whole period. We cannot let you leave your tenancy with us early.

UK-based guarantors

For some of our halls and for most private accommodation you’ll either need a guarantor (someone who agrees to pay your rent if you can’t) or you’ll need to pay a large proportion of your rent in advance. The guarantor needs to be a UK resident. If you have any concerns about this please talk to us.

Talk to usIf you’d like to discuss your accommodation needs in Cantonese, Mandarin or English, contact our International Accommodation Advisor on +852 3753 8813 (GMT + 8 hours) or email the team at [email protected].


Search ‘International’ at arts.ac.uk for further details and advice.

If you choose to live outside of UAL halls, our dedicated Private Accommodation Advisor can give you advice and read over contracts.

Contracts

You should always sign a contract that outlines your rights and responsibilities as a tenant. It’s important to read your contract thoroughly and make sure you understand the terms and conditions before you sign and keep a copy for future reference. If you’ve got any questions or would like some advice, contact us.

Cost

Rent can vary from £120 per week for a room in a shared house to £350 per week for a studio flat. If they’re not included in your rent, utilities like electricity, gas and water cost between £10 and £20 per week. Telephone and internet will add approximately £5 extra a week and a TV Licence is £145.50 per year.

Letting Agents

Most properties will be marketed or fully managed by letting agents. It’s a legal requirement for letting agents to be members of a professional body or redress scheme, such as the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) or The Property Ombudsmen (TPO). Letting agents must advertise their fees and charges in advance and aren’t allowed to charge you any money before you accept a property.

Private Halls of Residence

There is a wide range of private halls available in London. They are similar to UAL halls, but you will be living with students from other colleges and universities. For information on private halls, check out housing.lon.ac.uk or nationalcode.org.uk.

Tips

• Always make sure you view the property before you pay anything

• View more than one place. Take photos and notes so you can compare properties

• Make sure you’re always given a receipt. Don’t pay large amounts in cash

• Landlords should have proper bank accounts. If it doesn’t seem legitimate, don’t give them money or your bank details

• Don’t accept accommodation that’s dirty or in need of repair

• Only pay rent to your landlord, not other tenants

• Not sure about a place or worried about the contract? Ask us for advice
