I sent this email:

Hi

On www.thestudentroom.co.uk a member is stating that the Leodis site is a building site, could you please enlighten me as to what the situation is, and then i can pass the message on to the rest of the forum.

Thanks in advance for any response

Liam

And i got this response:

Dear Student,

Blocks H and J are part of the brand new accommodation opening at Leodis this year. The building work should hopefully be finished by Sunday 18 September.

I sent another back asking if it was possible to move in on the Saturday but have still got no reply. They didn't specfially say anything about not being able to move in, so maybe it's not everyone who has too move in on the Sunday and only certain areas of the blocks.

Then again, we could all be buggered!
It really is ridiculous if you think about it. If they are prepared to accept deposits and payment for these flats then they should be ready on time. Surely they knew building work is never completed on time? This should have been guaranteed to be finished by now; it even says they'd be completed in August on the website! Im pretty pissed off by this but it's ok, at least we get to move in on the Sunday and not miss out on any of the Freshers Week activities. :mad:

It is not fair in my opinion the way they have operated. Hence the reason I am talking. I am unsure even if all work will be completed by that date on all blocks. If they are completed make sure you check your room out that it is up to standard as it would have been rushed.

This is the letter I received

Leodis Residences

Dear Student,

As you may know, blocks H and J are part of a brand new accommodation opening at Leodis this year.

Unfortunately due to some small delays with the building contract, you will not be able to move in until Sunday 18 September rather than Saturday 17 September.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused and will credit your rent account with one nights rent in either your September or your January Bill.

If you are unable to arrive on the Sunday and need to move in before, please contact us as soon as possible by telephoning Elizabeth Hird on + (0)113 343 6091 or by emailing [email protected]. It is possible that we may need to move you to another block, depending on your date of arrival.

Once again, I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you. We look forward to meeting you on Sunday 18 September.

Yours Sincerely

Heather Sugden
Accommodation Manager

Your right. It's not a good first impression.
sorry guys, don;t mean to gloat or anything, i do actually fele really bad for you, so all come to oxley for parites until your buildings are ready, but it makes me glad i didnt apply for Leodis cause when i saw that building site i just knew it wouldn't be 100% ready in time, then agian when it is finalyl over think how really nice and new it will be and you guys will have it better :smile:
Ye, so i just came home from work and the letter was there!

Bugger!

am i the only one questioning what's happened to the I block?
I don't think there is an I block - well noones mentioned one at least...

Sounds like a bit of a pain in the arse though. If there asking you to move in on the Sunday, how much work can they do possibly do in one day?. I narrowly dodged the bullet by getting into G by the sounds of it.

I don't think it's that they aren't finished building them yet (tee hee how funny would that be, ahem) probably just that they hacen't cleared away all the rubbles properly yet or it hasn't been inspected yet or something official like being passed as fit to live in.

well yes sorry, what i meant really was the concept of it being brought up to standards til the very deadline lol
well if u think about it what can they do in a day. i reckon theyll be finished by the friday and they will be gettin a cleaning team in to clean on the saturday so there ready for us on the sunday. look on the brightside tho, the students at one halls at sheffield uni have been told there accomodation wont be ready for another month and there is nowhere else for them to go. so there having to find there own accomodation for the first month. at least weve only got one day to wait
