A Must-have for International Students of Plymouth Student Accommodation Check-in Guide

Are you about to study abroad in Plymouth, UK? Do you have any questions about the check-in of student housing Plymouth? Then you are in the right place! Here is a detailed guide on the check-in of student apartments.

Relevant procedures for check-in

The date and address of the check-in have been specified in the contract and must be carefully checked. When choosing a check-in time, it is best for students to choose working hours (usually 9 am-5 pm from Monday to Friday).

If the purchased air tickets cannot be checked in during the working hours of the apartment, students need to arrange their own accommodation for the night or contact the apartment in advance to see if they can check in during non-working hours. Most apartments offer free check-in services during non-working hours, but a small number of apartments require payment for checking in during non-working hours.

Enter through the main entrance of the apartment. If the door is not open, you can press the reception call at the door to have the receptionist help you open it.

Required documents for check-in 

  • Your passport (visa must be valid)
  • University admission offer
  • Rental contract (it is best to print a copy and carry it with you for the apartment to require when checking in, and sometimes customs may also need to present it)
  • Payment certificate (rental payment certificate issued by the bank)

*It is recommended to bring the original and photocopy of the above materials for future reference in case of need.

How to go to your apartment after arriving at Plymouth

  • Take a taxi near the airport
  • Download the ride-hailing software such as Uber in advance
  • Book airport pick-up services (uhomes.com also provides pick-up and drop-off services)

What to do if there is no one at the front desk

  • Ring the doorbell
  • Call the phone posted on the apartment door
  • Call the front desk of the apartment

Room inspection

Successfully obtaining the key is not the final step. After checking in with classmates, the apartment usually provides them with an inventory checklist, prompting them to check if there are any stains or damages on the furniture, floors, etc. in your room, and you will be required to sign it.

Don’t mindlessly sign. Be sure to check the condition of your room carefully. If there is any damage or other information, make sure to write it on the list and inform the apartment. If possible, take photos to keep evidence. This prevents the apartment from charging you the cost of repairing the damaged room when you move out, which may lead to disputes when refunding the deposit.

FAQs about check-in

1. Can I send express delivery in advance?

The apartment can be stored for 14 days. If you want to send the package to the apartment, ensure that the arrival date is after the start of your lease period and that you can arrive at the apartment’s front desk to sign for it.

The apartment is unable to store any luggage until arrival.

3. Can I move into the apartment without paying rent?

You must pay the first rent before the deadline to move in.

4. Is it possible to check-in early?

The standard lease of an apartment has a fixed date and generally cannot be changed. Unless an apartment offers a flexible lease term, applying for a flexible lease term requires me to communicate with the apartment in advance. Early check-in will be arranged if the apartment allows, and any additional lease term after successful application will be charged.

5. Do I need to purchase insurance?

When booking an apartment, most apartments automatically insure your personal belongings against fire, flood, theft, and accidental damage. Please consult the apartment for detailed insurance coverage.

6. How to use a network?

You can directly connect to the apartment’s WiFi and set up your account. If unsure, you can also go directly to the apartment front desk, and the staff will explain it to you.
