Here at CODE, we like to give our students options.
That is why we offer two kinds of contracts, depending on how you want to pay for your energy – our "Energy Excluded" contract – or our “Energy Package” contract for £15 extra per week.
In our studios, everything is electric (there is no gas supply). In our en-suite rooms/shared flats at CODE Harper Road we use both gas and electricity.
"Energy Excluded" contracts
"Energy Package" contracts
You will be billed monthly for the number of units used and your daily charge
Your “package” means your daily standing charge and unit use is paid for the duration of your contract up to a set amount (£720 for 48 week contracts and £765 for 51 week contracts). The majority of students find that with careful use this sees them through the year*.
*We want to clarify that we cannot predict your usage, but our utilities will let you know what % of your package you have used each month.
What other bills are included in your rent?
Unlimited water and internet are all included in the price of your rent.
You don't need to do anything to set it up. We deal with utility suppliers on your behalf. We also monitor your electric use via our meters and will provide you with updates.
Other things to consider
Contract lengths
At CODE you can choose between a 48-week or 51-week contract.
If you are booking after teaching/term has already started you'll be offered a shorter contract.
This is calculated from the day you move in, until move out day. Our helpful team can calculate this for you, just message them on WhatsApp.
Our 51-week contract is popular with international students who want to stay in the UK for the whole year – even when they do not have university classes.
Because our accommodation is so affordable, your total cost can still work out cheaper than living elsewhere with a shorter contract.
Option to renew your room
If you are studying for more than one year, you can also stay in the same room! We'll give you the first choice to renew your contract.
What's better, if you renew, there's no need to move out over the Summer or find storage space for your belongings. Just keep hold of your keys and use the room rent-free during those extra weeks (we will only charge you for your electricity).
Payment options
We offer easy ways to pay:
Monthly payments (requires guarantor)
Quarterly payments (requires guarantor)
50/50 payments
Pay in full
The easiest way to pay is via your student portal (which is set up once you have made a booking) but we also accept payment by most leading debit/credit cards.
If you prefer to pay via a bank transfer, we can also arrange this but please note, that your bank may charge for this service.
A guarantor is required for some of our contracts and is someone who agrees to pay for a tenant's rent. They must be a homeowner (either on their own or with other people) in England (including the Isle of Wright or Isle of Man), or Wales. They can have a mortgage on the property and still act as guarantor.
Unfortunately, if you own a house in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you are not eligible to be a guarantor.
If you cannot get a guarantor, the company Housing Hand is a great alternative option.
No, the price per week remains the same if you book a 48 week contract or a 51 week contract. So you are getting the best price whichever option you go for.
Don’t worry — you can still book a room even if term has already started. Our website shows live room availability, so you can see which rooms are available and book your new home straight away.
If you’re moving in part-way through the term, our helpful team can arrange a shorter contract and calculate exactly how much you’ll need to pay. We can also discuss flexible payment plans to help make things easier.
