Hii, when i went to look at it in May, the access to it was limited because of the building site opposite, i'm sure there is somewhere to park near by, maybe the tube station/retail park, if that helps.

DO NOT accept a place with Emily Bowes!!!!!!!!

Reasons:
1. Absolutely useless property manager- will REFUSE to give a reference to your new landlord when you eventually decide to move out of this hell hole place. This means good luck trying to find next years place to live.

2. RUDE staff- more unhelpful than you could ever imagine

3. it is in a land of its own.....far far away......doesn't even feel like you're in london anymore- so if you're thinking of going clubbing or nights out.. well think again!

4. fire alarms going off constantly at 2AM IN THE MORNING????!!!!!!!- well if getting burnt alive in a real fire because you have a delayed reaction towards these supposed 'safety' alarms just cus they kept going off every night when you were trying to sleep is your thing, then go for it.

5. yes, the people in the flat next door are welcome to come over, raid your fridge and help themselves to your food thanks to the supposed 'safe' fire doors which conjoin flats and do not have locks.

6. AND FINALLY, yes I love it when strange old men can randomly come into my room at 8am in the morning when im naked in bed. Not because I let them in of course, but because every other person who works here 'conveniently' has a spare key to my room.

Did anyone receive an offer for Emily Bowes Court?

Will you take it?

I don't know yet...it's the most expensive hall + 51 weeks!!


Don't touch or have anything to do with Emily Bowes Court. We have had no heating or hot water for weeks and I have had mail from the mailroom taken. The staff are unhelpful and the maintenance is crap. Believe me, we as sttudents are claiming compensation for all the problems we are currently experiencing.

It is not value for money and the building is not finished.
do not apply to Emily Bowes court. There is building works going on next door and the building has had rats reported.

Hi. You will regret moving to Emily Bowes. The maintenance is rubbish and some flats still have no heating or hot water.

aaarrrggghhhh so the thing on the website said they got my deposit.. then i got an email today saying that my room had EXPIRED!!!! anyone else in the same situation????? ugh and i checked the post tracker and it said my forms had all arrived??? this is tooooo mean!!! let me know people I'm so scared!! :frown:


Why do you want to carry on living in this place? There are now rats here in the building and there are still major problems with the plumbing.
I wouldn't recommend Emily Bowes to anyone. The issues we have faced is ongoing resulting in compensation claims against Unite.

Can yhoo please tell me how yhoo found out about who else was living in your flat on the Unite website. I tried looking but couldn't find any thing.
Thanks =)


you will regret moving here. They are not telling you that we have had no hot water or heating for weeks and that compensation is being claimed by students. the place also has rats. I have been here almost a year and it is a real nightmare.

On the unite 'my flatmates' thing it doesnt say anything about other people in my flat... i hope im not the only one in there!! :s-smilie:


Don't move here. You will really regret it. Thats unless you like rats and showers not working properly! I live in block C so I know. Compensation is being sought by other students.
