Moving In - Nothill Apartments Tenants

When you move in, we’ll send you an email with useful guidance to help you settle into your new home. In the meantime, you can also find additional information specifically for Northill Apartment tenants here.

Parking & On-Site Security Team At Northill Apartments

No resident parking is available at Northill Apartments. The spaces located at the front of the building are for building management use only - They are managed by an external company and are subject to fines for any unauthorised cars that use them or overstay a time limit as signposted. 

The on-site security team is available 24 hours a day, should you need to access the parcel room, require any updated meter readings, or have any building security concerns they will be able assist.  

Please note, however, that the security team do not work for Bee City Living, so any tenancy or apartment-related issues should be directed to us.

Utility Bills

You will need to set up accounts for electricity, water, council tax, and broadband once you've moved into your new home, with the initial meter readings and the Meter Serial Number (also known as MSN) sent to you.

To find out who the current suppliers are, please visit the following websites: 

• Electricity: https://www.enwl.co.uk/forms/who-is-my-supplier/
• Water: Your water supply is provided by United Utilities.

Council Tax

If you are a full-time student, you do not need to pay council tax; however, you must register your status as a student with the local council, otherwise, they are still liable to charge you. If you are a single tenant, or your household has a mixture of students and working professionals, you may be eligible for a Council Tax discount or exemption.

Register with Salford City Council here.

We will inform your local council of the names of all tenants and the start dates of your tenancy, so we strongly recommend that you contact them as soon as you move in as we cannot apply for any exemptions on your behalf.

Internet

You'll need to arrange with an internet service provider to supply your property with internet.

Any broadband provider that is able to supply your flat should already have the required sockets/access points installed, but please check with us first if they say that they need to drill any holes in the building!

Make sure you get the best deal possible - we recommend you have a look at the guides here from Money Saving Expert to find out more about what you might need and where to get a fair price for it.

TV Licence

Paying for a TV Licence is optional and only required if you plan on watching TV live or anything on iPlayer, but if you would like to do this, you can find more information on the TV Licensing website.

As you settle into your new home, we encourage you to make use of our Tenant Portal, where you’ll find helpful advice and guidance, as well as instructions on how to report any maintenance issues during your tenancy.

For your records, the Tenancy Hive portal will always hold the most up-to-date versions of your Energy Performance Certificate and Electrical Safety Certificate.
