What we provide
We equip the kitchen of each shared flat or studio flat with cookers, fridge/freezers, microwaves, toasters and kettles. You need to provide crockery, cutlery, pots and pans.
Each bed is provided with a mattress protector. If you are a term-time student then it is your responsibility to provide other linen and bedding. (Find out what we provide when you stay with us for a short period only.)
The standard UK supply voltage is 220/240 volts. Your room is provided with 13 amp sockets.
If you want to bring electrical appliances into your accommodation they must be approved as being safe to use. You can arrange to have them tested at Reception. (A charge is made for this service).
Touareg reserves the right to carry out random checks of electrical appliances, and to remove any defective or potentially dangerous equipment until it is repaired.
Each flat has a fridge/freezer in the kitchen for the use of all the residents. However, if you wish to have your own small fridge in your bedroom, you must get written agreement from the Paragon Manager beforehand. You will be charged a service charge of £50 in addition to your rent.
The fridge must have a valid Portable Appliance Test (PAT) safety certificate - which shows that it has undergone an electrical safety test - or you will be asked to remove it or repair it. Otherwise we will dispose of the fridge and recharge you the full costs.
You are entirely responsible for the upkeep and cleaning of your own fridge in your bedroom. It should be defrosted regularly. If we need to carry out any repairs to damage to walls or floors caused by the fridge, the costs will be charged to you.
You must remove your fridge when you leave the residence or we will dispose of it and charge you accordingly (including any environmental levy).
There is a TV aerial socket in each bedroom and shared kitchen/diner. It is your responsibility to buy your own television license(s) for televisions used in your bedroom or in the shared areas of the flats.
You may not bring any additional furniture or furnishings into the accommodation. Any items that are found will be removed and the cost of removal recharged to you.
