Vita Student Portland House FAQs

What is the Advance License Fee Payment I paid when I booked?

When booking an apartment, you need to pay 2 weeks room rate as a deposit. The deposit will be deducted from the total room rate. The payment method is credit card, debit card or bank transfer.

How to pay rent?

The apartment supports logging in to the account, using the TransferMate platform that cooperates with the apartment to pay, or paying by bank wire transfer. 1. To use the TransferMate platform to pay, please log in to your apartment personal account, then select Pay Now on the Booking interface to jump to the TransferMate platform payment interface, then please fill in the relevant information and complete the payment. Please note that the payment mode is that you pay to the TransferMate platform, and then pay to VITA STUDENT after the TransferMate platform receives the student's payment. Therefore, it is estimated that the arrival time after payment is about 3-5 working days. In case of statutory holidays in China and the UK, it will be postponed. 2. Wire transfer payment Vita official currently accepts bank transfers, Chinese wire transfers or transfers from UK bank accounts. The transfer and remittance in the UK generally takes about 1 week to check the update, and the arrival cycle of China's wire transfer generally takes 1-2 weeks. Please note that currently VITA does not have a Chinese bank account, only a British company account. Please use VITA's official account for remittance operations, and operate in strict accordance with VITA's information, and do not trust any information provided by any third party.

How do students look for Exeter student accommodation?

University Accommodation Services: Many universities, including the University of Exeter, offer accommodation services to assist students in finding suitable housing. 

 

Online Platforms: Students frequently use online platforms and websites dedicated to studio apartment Exeter. That's why I recommend using uhomes, an online platform dedicated to helping students find their perfect home away from home!

 

Social Media Groups: Many universities have official social media groups or pages where students can connect and share information, including accommodation listings. Students often create Facebook groups or join existing ones specifically to find Exeter halls of residence.
