01 / Explore
Find your fit.
Tell us your city, room preference and intended move-in date. Ask about an in-person or virtual viewing.
02 / Apply
Know what’s needed.
We explain the checks for your application and how to provide relevant information securely.
03 / Decide
Read. Ask. Agree.
Review the specific room, rent, bills and agreement before committing. An enquiry alone does not reserve a room.
1. Our role
Flow Living is operated by Live at Flow Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 13233706. Our registered office is Universal Square Building 5, 5th Floor, Devonshire Street North, Manchester, M12 6JH. We assess applications as managing agent for the relevant landlord. The landlord and the terms of the proposed accommodation will be identified before you enter an agreement.
2. Fair access
Flow Living welcomes enquiries from graduates, professionals, NHS staff, other key workers and people making a new start. Those descriptions are not an age limit or a requirement to work in a particular sector. We assess applications fairly against relevant, proportionate requirements and the accommodation available. We do not discriminate unlawfully, including through blanket exclusions because an applicant receives benefits or has children where prohibited by law.
3. Information and checks
Checks may cover identity, Right to Rent where required in England, affordability and relevant references. We will explain what is needed and why. Required Right to Rent checks apply consistently to adult occupiers, not only people who appear to be from overseas. The appropriate evidence and checking route depend on your circumstances. If you cannot provide a requested document, contact us about lawful alternatives. Any guarantor request must be relevant and lawful. Do not send identity documents or sensitive financial information through a general enquiry form.
What you may be asked for
Your contact details, intended occupants and proposed move-in date; relevant identity or Right to Rent evidence; evidence of income or other funds; and references or guarantor information where appropriate.
Starting a new job, self-employed or moving from overseas? Tell us about your circumstances so we can explain the evidence relevant to your application. These examples are not a universal document list or a guarantee of acceptance. Read our privacy notice before sharing information.
4. Property-specific availability
We offer the developments and areas listed below, subject to actual room availability and lawful occupation. A development’s inclusion does not mean every block or room is available for Flow Living. Station Yard’s out-of-term description does not itself determine whether an occupation is a tenancy or licence, or remove statutory rights.
Sheffield
Division House — bills arrangements quoted separately; Park Village — selected multi-occupancy units; Station Yard — non-student occupation outside term time.
Preston
Foundry Court — currently sold out. No rooms are currently available through Flow Living.
Sunderland
Clanny House — Block D / the applicable nine-flat block.
Coventry
Corporation Village — the rear tower on Well Street.
Canterbury
Parham Student Village — applicable multi-occupancy areas.
Bradford
Arkwright House — the rear building.
5. Your costs and agreement
Before committing, you should receive the specific rent, payment dates, included bills, any permitted charges, deposit terms and relevant occupation conditions. Division House is excluded from the all-bills-included offer. Other offers must identify exactly which bills are included and how council tax is treated. We do not require payments prohibited by law. Submitting an application does not by itself guarantee or reserve accommodation.
6. Accessibility, households and pets
Tell us about access needs so we can discuss suitable accommodation and reasonable adjustments. We will explain relevant occupancy limits and genuine property restrictions. Requests to keep a pet will be considered in accordance with applicable law; a general website description does not remove a tenant’s statutory right to request one.
7. Decisions and questions
Where we cannot proceed, we will explain the relevant reason as far as lawfully possible and consider a request to correct inaccurate information or review the decision. Our complaints procedure remains available. Contact us using our contact page, telephone 03330 913674, or write to our registered office.
8. Your rights before you commit
Where the Renters’ Rights Act applies, we cannot invite rental bids above the advertised rent or use an application process to remove statutory protections. Your agreement must reflect the correct legal status of the occupation. Read our cancellation and ending-your-tenancy procedure for notice and refund information.
For independent information, see GOV.UK Right to Rent guidance and the Renters’ Rights Act guidance. If something goes wrong, our complaints procedure explains how to raise it.
