Welcome to considered living in Guildford

We've been working closely with consumers in both the US and the UK to reimagine renting. We've spoken to over 1000 consumers about what makes somewhere home, to help make your new home really work from you.

For an inclusive monthly fee you get a fully-furnished, purposefully designed studio apartment, with everything else you need for daily life right there in the building. You have your own private kitchen and bathroom, alongside shared spaces, like a fitness studio, workspaces and a cinema room. Important essentials like fortnightly cleans, super fast Wifi and 24/7 security are included. As are thoughtful little extras that make your space a home, like Sonos speakers and beautiful furnishings. In fact, all you need to do is decide how best to spend your time.

This is considered living.

We have underground secure parking available on site. There's only a limited number of slots which do come at an extra cost and are booked on a first come first served basis. We also have a number of electric charging points if you have a hybrid or electric run car.

If you'd like to book a parking space then just let our team know during the booking process.

If you'd like your studio to be more fully equipped talk to our team about our Room Additions, they'll be happy to help make your move as hassle free as possible.

As with most rented apartments, we do ask you to pay a damage deposit which protects you should you cause any damage to anything in the room. The deposit you pay is equivalent to 5 weeks rent and needs to be paid at least 2 working days before your tenancy starts. Your deposit is held with the DPS and is fully refundable at the end of your tenancy, provided there’s no damage to the room.

‍

Indicative pricing is included on our studio pages, for more detail on individual studio flat pricing please contact our team. We have lots of different shapes and sizes of apartment so the prices vary depending on what you choose.

‍

We've taken care of all the essentials, this includes; WiFi, Water, Gas, Electricity as well as your laundry. Council Tax will need to be arranged by you, as the amount you pay depends on your circumstances. You'll just need to get in touch with Guildford Borough Council to let them know you’ve moved in.

Optional extras can be arranged during the booking process:
- Additions
- Underground car parking places

‍

Absolutely! We have dedicated pet friendly floors meaning you can bring your furry friend with you. You can have 1 small dog or house cat per apartment and there's no extra charge, you'll just need to pay an additional refundable damage deposit and have a deep clean at the end of your tenancy.

You just need to let us know when making your booking, our team may have a few questions and you might be asked to bring them along to meet the team before your tenancy starts.

For full T&Cs just chat to our team.

Our building is now open and ready to welcome you. When making your booking you will agree with our team when your move in date will be and you can also find this date in your contract. You can move in any time on or after the date stated in your contract.

‍

We've made our contracts as flexible as possible, to give you more freedom in choosing how to live. Our minimum contract length is from 3 months with contracts available for 3, 6 or 12 months. If you are looking for a different contract length than what is listed above then please just get in touch with us and we will see what we can do. If your circumstances change and you need to end your contract early our team can send you our cancellation policy.

If you decide you want to stay with us longer than agreed in your original contract, we can arrange this for you...just let us know as early as possible. If you want to move to a different apartment, this may be possible but will depend on availability, again just let our team know as soon as possible.

‍

Only if you want to! All our apartments are private studios so they each have their own bathroom and kitchen, which means no queuing for the shower in the morning. Our communal spaces are shared with all Living By Scape Guildford residents and these include the Fitness Studio, Co-Working Spaces, Lounge Area and Shared Kitchen. Our Studio Apartments can be rented by a maximum of 2 people, you can just let us know in the booking process so we can add their details on to the contract too.

‍

We all change our minds from time to time. That's why you have a seven (7) day cooling off period that starts as soon as you have paid your initial deposit of 1 weeks rent and received a Booking Confirmation email from us. During this time you can cancel for any reason and receive a full refund of all money you have paid.

After this our standard booking terms and conditions apply. Contact our team for our full Cancellation Policy.

‍

If you've decided our Studio Apartments are for you then you can get in touch with our team by submitting an enquiry form through this website. We'll then ask you a few more questions and help you choose the exact room you would like

Once you've got the perfect Studio, you'll need to pay 1 weeks rent to hold the room meaning no one else can book it while we complete your booking. We'll then complete a reference and credit check and draft up your contract. The room will be all yours once you've signed the contract.

As an experienced private landlord, we're well versed in operating an accommodation building through Covid. Our building is Covid Secure meaning we clean throughout very regularly, plus there’s hand sanitising stations in all the high footfall areas as well as social distancing measures throughout the building. We also ask that everyone wear a mask when moving through the building and we operate the shared spaces as per any government guidance. We'll keep you fully in the loop with any changes as and when they happen.
