FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ?
This is a document produced by an independent specialist that states how environmentally friendly and energy efficient the property is.
The EPC is available to view against each property on our website.
Several of our houses have also achieved Gold Standard for the Green Impact Student Homes (GISH) initiative for efficiency and sustainability.
Do we have to pay council tax?
Full-time students are exempt from payment of council tax where the house is let solely to students. You will need to provide us with your signed Student Status certificate. We will complete the necessary paperwork and inform the council to gain your exemption from the council tax.
However, if you have recently left University or are not a full-time student, then you will be required to pay Council Tax, for which you are personally liable.

All our properties comply with current regulations and are fitted with mains-linked smoke and heat alarms. The kitchen is provided with a fire blanket and fire extinguisher. The houses have fire doors throughout with emergency lighting and fire-proofed communal exit routes. The furniture and furnishings are compliant with the Fire Safety Regulations.
