Additional (and important) rent considerations
Please be sure to check payment dates and amounts prior to making your booking. Not all payment options fall in line with your student loan. Your student loan is not usually deposited until after you have enrolled on your course. If you have chosen to pay in full or monthly via Housing Hand, the first instalment is payable before arrival.
The rent instalments should be paid directly to The Glassworks; please contact them for further information. 听
Accepted methods of payment are debit/credit card or bank transfer.
For bank transfers, please note that the due amount must show in cleared funds prior to arrival.
