Help and Advice

1.How do I book a room?

In order to secure a room you must fill out a booking form online. You will then be asked to pay a €400 booking fee which is refundable when you move out of the accommodation. Once you have filled out the online booking form and paid the deposit you will get a booking confirmation number.

2.What types of rooms are available on each site?

In Cratloe there are mainly 3 bedroom apartments available. They have two single rooms without an en-suite and one single room with an en-suite. If you are looking to be housed with friends please make sure that you have selected the correct room types. There are also limited numbers of twin sharing rooms available, this room is an ensuite room with 2 single beds which can be twin shared by 2 people.

In Thomond there are three bed apartments available. Each apartment has a single non en-suite room, single room with an en-suite and a double room with an en-suite.

In Punches there are twin sharing rooms with an en-suite and double bed rooms with an en-suite.

If you would like to share your apartment with certain people please make sure that you do not all book the same room type as you cannot be placed in the same apartment.

3.How do I pay my rent?

We request payments twice a year. One payment will be taken in August before you move into the accommodation and the other will be taken in January. The first payment has to be paid in order to receive your keys to the apartment. 

4.What is included in the apartment?

All apartments are fitted with a microwave, kettle and toaster. You will need to bring your own cutlery, delph, pots and pans.

If you have booked Punches, there are lockers to store all your food and cooking equipment in the communal area.

5.Are electricity and utility costs refundable?

No, the electricity and utilities are non-refundable. These are included in the overall cost of the accommodation and they will be topped up for you automatically. However if you reach the allocated allowance for each resident before your move out date, the residents are liable for any extra electricity charges.

In Thomond village each apartment is fitted with a pinergy meter. The electricity is not included in the overall rent price therefore you and your housemates will have to ensure that you have topped up the meter at all times.

6.If I’m on the waiting list, when will I hear back?

When our booking list is full we open waiting lists for each site. Once you fill out the form you will be placed on a waiting list. If any rooms become available we will ring people from the waiting list and offer them the rooms. You will not have to pay any booking fee to get on a waiting list however, if we ring you and offer you a place you will then have to pay the booking fee to secure your room. Usually once the CAO offers are released there are a lot of changes and people will change their minds about what college and accommodation they need. Therefore do not worry if we do not contact you in June, our busiest months for cancellations and changes in bookings are July and August. As these changes occur we will contact you via the waiting list.

7.Can I get my booking fee back if I cancel?

Our 1st year cancellation policy is as follows:

Cancellations received before June 1st – receive full Booking Fee back

Cancellations received between June 2nd and within 3 days of receiving the CAO offers – receive €250 back

Cancellations received after 3 days of receiving the 1st round CAO offers – forfeit full deposit

 

For all other applicants, 

Cancellations received before June 1st will receive a full Booking Fee refund of €400.

Cancellations received between June 2nd and August 1st will receive a Booking Fee refund of €250.

Cancellations received after August 1st will result in a total loss of the booking fee.

 

All cancellations must be submitted in writing to cancellations@propertymanagementireland.ie quoting your booking reference number and the name of the village you booked.
