Accommodation planning for Durham University
Durham publishes college accommodation and private-renting guidance. Allocation, catering, room type, residence periods, and costs depend on the college and current student category.
- Check your allocated college and department locations before comparing an address.
- Review the complete residence period, catering, room type, fees, and vacation arrangements.
- For private housing, verify the landlord, deposit protection, bills, tenancy, and route before paying.
What to check before booking in the UK
The right room depends on your teaching campus, intake dates, contract length, and whether the provider requires a UK guarantor. Treat the advertised weekly figure as a starting point, then compare the complete contract and payment schedule.
- Confirm the campus and realistic route at your teaching times
- Compare total rent, deposit, bills, guarantor cost, and payment dates
- Ask what happens if your visa, course, or arrival date changes

Do You Need a UK Rent Guarantor?
Some UK accommodation providers may ask for a UK-based guarantor or an alternative such as advance rent. Requirements vary, so confirm the exact policy for each property before paying.
If you do not have a suitable guarantor, we can share information about third-party guarantor services. Check eligibility, fees, coverage, exclusions, and cancellation terms directly with the provider.
