The absolute standout, though, is the team, es pecially Jasmin, the building manager. She’s incredibly warm, helpful and approachable, always up for a chat, and honestly feels like a built-in besti e that comes with your room.

text => 'From India to Unilife Riverside: The VIP Experience
Finding accommodation in Guildford felt like a boss battle, with no one responding to emails and every rental starting from September 14th—except I was arriving on August 16th. Just when I was about to accept my fate of sleeping at Heathrow, BOOM! —Unilife Riverside emailed me about a Luxury VIP Studio.
Enter Mr. Mike , the GOAT of hospitality. From Heathrow to my room, he guided me like a per sonal GPS. At MIDNIGHT, my keycard was ready in the Renzbox, and when I step ped into my studio, I found a home—apples, jams, bread, milk, chocolates, pizza, and more. Jetlagged, overwhelmed, but instantly feeling at home.
T he next day, Mike’s tour revealed Unilife’s luxury perks—board games, PS5 + big LED, 24/7 coffee, and free breakfast (because why not?). But the b est part? The fourth-floor riverside view. Whether eating, gaming, studying, or just chilling—every night looked like a scene from Interstellar.' (982 chars)

Frequently asked booking questions for Sparkford House
All payments are securely made in your student portal here. It is the safest and most secure way to pay us. Due to our online paymets, students have full visibility on the payment and it will automatically update in your account once it has cleared. The options available are:
UK Bank Transfer
UK Direct Debit
UK Card (if UK Bank is not available)
International Card Payment
International Bank Transfer with Tranfersmate
Alternatively, should you prefer to make a direct bank transfer, use the bank details below (also use your room number and full name as a reference). Please be aware that we are unable to provide a payment receipt on completion. It also takes up to 5 working days to show up in our bank.
The deposit is protected with a deposit protection scheme and residents are issued with a deposit protection certificate. Our residents refundable security deposit is protected by MyDeposits, a UK government recognised scheme. The Tenancy Deposit Protection (TDPS) is a piece of legislation introduced by the UK Government in April 2006 for landlords in England and Wales. The purpose of the scheme is to protect tenants from unscrupulous landlords, who have been accused in the past of taking amounts from deposits unfairly. The legislation ultimately protects you and allows us to follow a very streamlined process for disputes after check out.
All tenancy agreements have a cooling off period of 48 hours from the signature of contract. All cancellation requests must be in writing via an email addressed to the Unilife Team yourspace@unilife.co.uk
If you have collected your keys within your cooling off period, the eligibility to cancel immediately ends.
If a resident does not gain a place at their chosen University or College and wishes to be released from their Tenancy Agreement, they must provide Unilife with evidence of their rejection and evidence of the reason why no later than 72 hours after dated correspondence from your University or College. You may also be eligible to be released from this agreement if you are a prospective first year undergraduate student and you choose to go to a different University.
To be considered, you will need to supply us with a copy of:
- UCAS letter of acceptance.
- Written evidence from the University admissions team
If a resident moves into Unilife and they withdraw from their course or they are evicted from university, they are still liable to fulfil their contract and they must find a replacement tenant to have their contract withdrawn.
If the tenancy agreement has commenced, a resident is unable to withdraw from their tenancy agreement free of charge and they must find a replacement tenant to take over their contract. It is the main tenants responsibility to find a replacement tenant.
If a resident wishes to withdraw from their contract, either before their tenancy has commenced or during their tenancy and it is not reasons that fall under the ‘No Place, No Stay’ or ‘No Visa, No Stay’, they will be required to find a replacement tenant.
Unilife cannot accept any responsibility for finding a replacement tenant once a resident has signed their tenancy agreement and made the first payment.
Once a resident has found a suitable replacement tenant to take over their contract, they must put the new tenant’s details into writing to yourspace@unilife.co.uk and the Unilife Team will contact the new tenant within 48 hours to formally transfer the tenancy. Once the new tenant has accepted the tenancy agreement and made the pre-rent instalment, the original tenant will have their tenancy agreement withdrawn and the refund will be processed within 10 working days minus £100 admin charge.
The fee will be deducted from their deposit due back to the original tenant.
We provide three payment plans which you can choose when confirming your booking.
Upfront in one go, 30 days before your contract start date (40 - 51 week contracts only)
Termly payments - Payment dates are 40% in September, 40% in January, and 20% in April. This usually coincides with the Student Finance UK payments, so it makes budgeting easier. -
Monthly payments - 11 invoices at the start of each month
