What is ANUK and Why It Matters to You
ANUK stands for the Accreditation Network UK, a well-established accreditation body that works with landlords and accommodation providers across the UK to promote high-quality, professionally managed housing. It operates the National Codes for Larger Student Developments, which set out clear standards for how student properties should be managed and maintained.
Accreditation through ANUK (via the National Code) is voluntary — but it shows a landlord’s commitment to meeting and upholding strong benchmarks for service, safety, transparency, and management.
What Accreditation Means for You
When your accommodation is covered by the ANUK National Code:
You live in a property that meets established standards for management, maintenance and tenant service.
There is clear documentation about your tenancy, rent, and the standards you can expect.
Repairs and maintenance are handled appropriately and within agreed timeframes.
Health & safety compliance meets recognised benchmarks.
Your deposit is protected through a scheme and returned promptly at the end of your stay, with clear reasons given for any deductions.
There is a formal complaints procedure, so if you have a problem that can’t be resolved directly with us, you can raise it through ANUK’s complaints process.
These standards help ensure that living with us isn’t just about great location and facilities — it’s about quality, transparency and peace of mind throughout your tenancy.
