Contents insurance is not covered within your stay with us. We recommend looking at www.myurbanjungle.com for quotes.
Do I need a TV License?

If you are unhappy with our service or the manner in which we have dealt with any issues you can contact us by emailing info@stocktonstudents.co.uk.

How do I arrange a viewing?
To book a viewing, simply show your interest on our home page form or if you have found a property you like register your interest by clicking the ‘book a viewing’ tab on the right hand side. Alternatively email us on info@stocktonstudents.co.uk or call our office on 03301 359 065. We prefer to give our current tenants at least 24 hours notice of a planned viewing and often during busy times, many of our houses are pre-booked meaning we can show you round without delay. We prefer to show your full group around the properties in one go as this causes the least amount of disruption to our current tenants.
Can I view on a Saturday?
We do offer viewings on a Saturday during busier periods of the year and find these appointments to be extremely popular.
Whilst we hope to meet everyone’s requirements and can often show you a selection of properties immediately, please call in advance to book your appointment if Saturdays are the only days you are free in order to avoid disappointment.

My friends and I have viewed a property, what next?
In order to secure a property and take it off the market you will be asked to sign a tenancy agreement. You can come to our office and have a read through the paperwork or we can email you a copy direct.
Until we have a signed tenancy agreement from all tenants we will continue to promote the property online.

You can return your keys to our office in person or you can simply leave your keys in your room when you leave the property. If the keys are not returned you will be charged for a replacement key and fob.
Can I store belongings at the property if I am returning next year?
You will need to discuss this with tour office as it will depend on when your current tenancy ends and the new one begins, and whether someone else will be staying in your room over the summer.
We normally advise students to contact a storage company in the area if they cannot keep their belongings in their room.
