Refund Policy

Cancellation Policy ****The following is a brief overview of the apartment's standard cancellation terms. For full terms and conditions, please refer to the apartment's 'Booking Terms and Conditions'. ***Policies are subject to real-time changes; please refer to the apartment's contract for the most up-to-date version. A complete termination policy is detailed on the apartment's website under the booking section, and you may also review it on this page. Please read carefully and ensure full understanding. I. Initial Cooling-off Period (Cancellations within 7 days) You may cancel your booking within 7 days after accepting your offer or paying your deposit (provided you have not yet moved in), and the apartment will fully refund your deposit. Refund timeline: Deposits are typically refunded within 28 working days after cancellation. Important note: As a landlord, the apartment is legally required to place your deposit into a third-party protection scheme. If your deposit has already been sent to the third-party scheme at the time of cancellation, the refund may take up to 60 days, as it must go through the third-party processing cycle. In such cases, the deposit refund will be issued directly by the third-party scheme, and you will need to provide the repayment ID they send you. Once the deposit is with the third-party scheme, the apartment cannot influence its processing time. II. Cancellation After the Cooling-off Period (After 7 days) If you cancel your booking after the initial 7-day cooling-off period: - You remain liable for weekly rent (including partial weeks) until the apartment successfully relets the room. - If the apartment finds a new tenant to relet the room, your agreement will be terminated, but you will be charged a £50 contract amendment fee, deducted from your deposit (or proportionally if you paid a reduced deposit). Please note: If your deposit is to be refunded to a bank account outside the UK, the apartment will deduct £20 from the refund amount to cover international bank transfer fees.
