You're comparing accommodation from another country and the what-ifs pile up fast. Here's exactly how Urban Hub removes each one, so you can book knowing you're protected.
Only for instalments. Pay your rent in full and you won't need a UK guarantor at all. Prefer to spread the cost across our 3, 4 or 10 instalment plans? A UK guarantor is required, and if you don't have one, just ask us about approved guarantor services.
You get your money back. If your student visa or university place is declined, you can cancel your booking and get a full refund. You're never locked into a home you can't move into.
See it before you commit. Book a live virtual viewing with our team, or explore the whole building in VR. What you see online is exactly what you'll walk into on move-in day.
Simple, secure, in your currency. Pay from your home country through a secure international payment portal, no confusing bank transfers, no hidden FX surprises. Pay in full or choose a 3, 4 or 10 instalment plan.
Someone is always here. Move in any time, day or night. Our team is on-site during the week with 24/7 emergency support, so you're never alone in a new country.
You'll be welcomed in. Join a community of students from around the world. Welcome events, socials and shared spaces mean you'll have people to lean on from day one.
Secure your studio with a £99 booking. Book a viewing or explore the building in the VR tour.
It depends on how you pay. If you pay your rent in full upfront, you do not need a UK guarantor. If you choose one of our instalment plans (3, 4 or 10 payments), a UK-based guarantor is required. Don't have one? Ask our team about approved guarantor services that can act as your guarantor for a fee.
If your student visa or your place at university is declined, you can cancel your booking and receive a full refund. Just send us your official refusal documentation and our team will handle it.
Typically you'll need: a valid passport, your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from your university, proof of funds (bank statement), proof of English proficiency (e.g. IELTS), and, for some countries, a tuberculosis test certificate. Start early and check the official UK government student visa pages for your nationality.
You pay through a secure international payment portal inside your online account. It's designed for overseas payments, so there's no confusing bank transfer or unexpected exchange-rate fees. Our team walks you through it if you get stuck.
You can pay your full rent in one upfront payment (no guarantor needed), or spread it across one of three instalment plans: 3 payments (per term), 4 payments (quarterly) or 10 payments (monthly). All instalment plans require a UK guarantor.
Yes. Book a free live virtual viewing with our team, or explore the entire building in VR whenever you like. What you see is exactly what you get on move-in day.
All utility bills (electricity, water, heating) and high-speed Wi-Fi are included, no hidden charges. Each studio is fully furnished with your own bed, ensuite bathroom and kitchenette.
Any time, day or night, once your contract begins. Our team is on-site during the week and there's 24/7 emergency support, so late flights are never a problem.
Let your family know you've arrived safely, check into Urban Hub and settle in, enrol at the University of Lancashire and collect your student ID, register with a local GP, and open a UK bank account. Your Urban Hub licence agreement counts as proof of address for opening a bank account and registering with a doctor.
