FAQ's
How do I book?
Booking online is quick and easy – it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.
If you prefer, you can call us (it’s best to call the site you want to book at direct), or visit us at your chosen iQ location. You will need to pay a non-refundable booking fee to secure your booking, which can be paid by debit or credit card.
How will I get to know people at iQ?
Our sites are home to an international community of students, often studying at a variety of different institutions, and it’s this diversity which can make living with us such a rewarding experience.
We organise regular social events where you can get to know your fellow residents. You will find posters on site telling you what’s coming up soon – or just ask at Reception.
Who can be my guarantor?
Your guarantor can be UK or International based, but must be aged 21 or over; not a full time student; or a current resident in an iQ property.
If you are unable to pay your rent and/or do not act in accordance with the terms of the your tenancy agreement, your guarantor will be under an obligation to pay any outstanding amounts.
Can I choose who I live with in a shared flat?
Our online booking system will show the gender of those who have already booked a room in your chosen flat, if this information is available.
If you want to make a group booking with people you already know, our group booking procedure will help you do this.
Can I make a group booking?
Yes. If you’d like to share with friends, you can find and select rooms in the same flat on our booking portal. Alternatively, please speak to a member of the site team and they will be happy to help you.
