Dual Occupancy
No Extra Cost

The first and most important thing about our student rooms for couples is that we offer free dual occupancy, unlike many other housing providers who charge extra for sharing. Both students are listed as main tenants on the contract, splitting the rent equally to make quality student homes more affordable for student couples.

Non Students
Are Welcome

Finding student housing for couples in Southampton, Winchester and Guildford can be difficult when one of you are a student and one of you is a non student. While our accommodation is built with students in mind, non students are welcome to live in our studios as long as their partner is enrolled as a full time student.

choose your studio

Choosing your first home together is an exciting step. Our Luxury, Luxury Plus, and VIP studios are thoughtfully designed for two, offering the perfect balance of comfort and space. We offer three fantastic city locations, Southampton, Winchester and Guildford. With different views and floors available, you can select a studio that best suits your lifestyle as a couple, whether you prefer city views, quieter spaces, or being close to the communal areas.

book online

Booking your studio as a couple is simple with our easy online booking system. Just select ‘Book Now’ on your preferred studio type, and the first tenant will enter their details, along with the name and email of the second tenant. The first student will continue with the booking process, whilst the second tenant will receive the contract via email, allowing you to both sign online. You will each be required to make a £150 deposit payment to secure your studio. You will both receive a separate deposit protection certificate from MyDeposits via email within 30 days.

select guarantor

We offer four flexible payment plans: one, two, three, or eleven instalments. Each tenant must select their preferred plan, and if choosing three or eleven, a UK guarantor is required. For couples sharing a studio, we recommend having separate guarantors so we can deal with your preferred contact if you fall into rent arrears. If you require a Guarantor, you can speak with Housing Hand. 

confirm booking

After signing and paying your deposit, the property manager will co-sign the contract within 1-2 working days, and you will both receive a copy of your tenancy agreement and deposit protection certificate via email. Once your contract is completed, the final step is to make your £500 advance rent payment (£250 each) to secure your studio. This payment is deducted from your overall rent.
