Known issues

A common issue encountered is the eligibility restriction, as services are only available to students and staff of University of London member institutions. Ineligible callers are advised to seek alternative housing advice services. To avoid frustration, ensure you meet the eligibility criteria before calling. Additionally, booking appointments in advance is crucial, as this ensures availability and reduces wait times. Remote consultations are a convenient option, especially on Fridays and Saturdays in September, when in-person services are not available.
