Not affiliated with Universal

room rent is an independent guide. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or connected to Universal, Universal Destinations & Experiences, Comcast, NBCUniversal or any associated company. All trade marks referenced belong to their respective owners and are used only to describe the project this site covers.

What our figures mean

Distances are straight-line calculations from settlement centre points to the construction site. Drive times are approximations based on an assumed average speed and a road winding factor. Neither is a routing service, and neither accounts for roadworks, closures or traffic.

Rent figures are indicative bands for an area. They are not live listing prices, not offers, not valuations and not a guarantee that a room is available at that price. Treat them as a way to compare areas, not as a quote.

Information about the Universal project comes from public reporting and official sources current at the time of writing. Timelines and job numbers on projects of this size change.

The guides are not advice

Our guides are general information, not legal, tax, financial or professional advice. Rules change, and how they apply depends on your circumstances. Check the primary sources we link to, speak to your council, or take professional advice before making a decision.

Listings and enquiries

Listing a room is currently free. Paid listing plans are not on sale, and we will tell you clearly before that changes. We may decline or remove any listing at our discretion, including where we believe it is inaccurate, unlawful, discriminatory, or where the person listing does not have the right to let the room.

We are not a party to any agreement between a landlord and an occupier. We do not collect rent or deposits, we do not hold money on anyone’s behalf, and we do not vet the parties. Satisfying yourself about who you are dealing with is your responsibility on both sides.

Optional paid products

We sell four optional digital products: Lodger Agreement (£9.99), Room Pricing Report (£2.99), Tax Calculator (£4.99) and Host Checklist Bundle (£12.99). We are not VAT registered, so no VAT is charged. The price shown is the total you pay, with no hidden fees. Payment is taken by Stripe on its own page.

The contract is formed when we accept your order, which happens when payment succeeds and we send your confirmation. The products are delivered digitally straight after payment. You get a personal, non-transferable licence to use the templates and tools for your own letting. You may not resell or republish them.

The Lodger Agreement, Tax Calculator and Checklist Bundle are templates and general information. They are not legal, tax or financial advice, and we are not a law firm or tax adviser. Check they suit your situation, and take professional advice if you are unsure. Cancellation and refunds are covered on the refunds page. Your 14-day right to cancel is lost for digital content once you have asked for immediate access and access starts.

Acceptable use

Do not post false, unlawful or discriminatory listings, scrape the site, or use it to harass or defraud anyone.

Fraud warning

Rental fraud specifically targets people arranging accommodation from a distance before starting a new job. Never send a deposit for a room you have not seen, to someone you have not verified. We will never ask you to transfer money to hold a room.

Liability

We take reasonable care to keep this site accurate but we do not warrant that it is complete, current or error free. To the extent permitted by law we are not liable for loss arising from reliance on it. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. Nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Changes and governing law

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed. If a change materially affects something you have bought, we will email you. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland you can also bring proceedings in your local courts.
