TASMAC London rents houses and flats from property owners and then sublets them to the students. This, we feel, is the safest option for our students and we will guarantee you a place if you make your booking a minimum of four weeks in advance and pay your deposit.
The minimum length of stay is one semester and your room will be available for you 3 days prior to the first week of classes. This will give you enough time to settle in before beginning your course. It also means that you have to book your flights to correspond with that date.

| Each flat location differs in architectural style, size and neighbourhood, yet all provide a safe and comfortable environment. Flats have fully furnished and equipped kitchens, bathroom(s), and communal living areas. Laundry facilities are usually located in TASMAC properties; however, a public laundry should never be far away. Two and three bedroom properties typically accommodate four to six students. The flats are single-sex and students are responsible for their own cleaning and cooking. Efforts are made to place students with others who share similar traditions, beliefs, cultures and study interests. This type of housing is located within 5 mile radius area of the school, within easy commuting distance of the campus. |

When your application is received by the TASMAC London Office, it will be dated, stamped and logged. We will send you an e-mail receipt so you know we have received your form. We may need to contact you for additional information. A place in TASMAC accommodation will only be confirmed once full payment for the semester and the £400 security deposit has been paid. We will then issue you with an accommodation letter stating the details of your booking and the fees you paid towards it. Please take this letter with you when applying for a student visa. |
|
| The deposit is kept with the school until the end of your tenancy, in case of any damages. When you move out, we will inspect your accommodation and providing all is well we will refund your deposit fully without delay. You need to commit to at least one term when booking accommodation in TASMAC Student Housing and will have the option to take further extra terms.
