Renewing your flat

Book before 30th November to guaranee the same room

Keeping your room

Living at CODE is great! You’ll want to book for another year right? 

Providing you are still going to be a student, you can keep your current flat for next year.

We will text and email you details on the 4th November. And you'll be able to book your room until midnight on 30th November 2023 on your student portal.

HOW TO RENEW

The easiest way to renew is on your student portal. Just look for "Re-booking" in the menu (illustrated below) and follow the on-screen instructions.

After the 30th November, your room will be released onto the website. This means it could be booked by other students that want to live with us.

Need more reasons to stay?

1. Pay nothing now if you book in November

No need to pay a holding fee to reserve your room if you confirm by November 30th.*

2. We’ll give you up to 4 weeks rent-free

Stay in the same room over the summer FOR FREE! (we will not charge you for rent between your two tenancies, just your energy use).

3. No need to move out over summer

If you renew there is no need to move out over the summer 😊 There’s no hassle of moving your belongings over the summer, just stay in the same room between your two tenancies. We will automatically give you priority over your room and keep it reserved in your name until 30th November.

4. No need to move out over summer

No need to pay another deposit, we will transfer your existing £400 damage deposit to the next academic year.

Booking a different room: 

If you wish to reserve another room please let us know. Talk to one of our Chat Angels now and they can help you book a studio before it's released to other students. We may even be able to find you a room not yet available on the website.

Or we will gladly discuss other options with you. 

A new holding and tenancy deposit will be required if you want to book a different room. 

Changes for 2024/25

Pricing

At CODE we always offer you unrivalled quality at an affordable price.

You may have seen stories in the news that prices are continuing to rise compared to a year ago. Like many businesses, we’ve had to increase prices because of the higher costs we are facing.

We are mindful we want to keep your weekly rent price as low as possible, while still covering the increasing prices we are facing as a business.  

So, we've largely kept our rent prices in line with inflation costs as much as possible. This still makes us one of the most affordable accommodation choices around.

Take a look at our 2024/25 pricing.

We hope that by letting you know about the rise now, it will allow you to budget for the next academic year.

If you are worried, why not consider switching to an en-suite room at CODE Harper Road.

We are keeping rent prices at CODE Harper Road the same if you book for 2045/25 in November and December.

Electricity bills

Electric options

This year, the whole of the UK has seen the price of electricty rise dramatically.

And we know many of you are adjusting to the changes, with your own personal usage.

So for 2024/25 we're offering a choice between your electricity billed monthly – our "Electricity Excluded" contract – or our “Electricity Package” contract for £15 extra per week.

  • "Electricity Excluded" contracts – where you will be billed monthly for the number of electricity units used and your daily charge.
  • "Electricity Package" contracts – your “package” means your daily standing charge is paid for the duration of your contract – and based on this year’s prices* you would receive around 1,500 units. With careful electricity use, 1,500 units could see you through the year.

*We want to make it really clear that we cannot predict if energy prices will rise, so please note your package may supply less units than this next year. We may not be able to confirm the unit amount until Summer or Autumn 2024.

We've also taken rising energy prices into consideration when setting rent prices.

 

Why am I paying more for my electricity?

There are a few reasons why your bills cost more:

  1. Gas prices have continued to soar since the Covid-19 pandemic, and since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has threatened supplies.
  2. The UK is reliant on gas-generated electricity, which is why we have been hit harder than some countries.
  3. The standing charge (the fixed daily amount you must pay your energy supplier, no matter how much energy you use) has also been raised by our supplier.
  4. We've been able to negotiate a good deal, but the overall costs are set by the supplier and are out of our hands. What you pay goes straight to our energy company to pay the bills.
