Registering with us What happens once I have registered my details? Once you register with us, you're basically part of the family. This means we send you a monthly newsletter to let you know what we've been up too, and sometimes we send you gifts (in the form of our latest brochures), and invite you to get togethers (sales launches). We won't visit you on inappropriate weekends or stay in your spare room though. Why haven't I received any brochures? If you have registered for projects that are coming soon, then we probably haven't produced the brochure yet. Just sit tight. back to top Students and researchers Can you help me with my architecture project? We like students, a lot of us have been students, some a very long time ago. We realise research is important so we've made as much information as possible available on our website on our Residential and Commercial project pages which you can download and print off. If you have any specific questions, we will try our best to answer them but bear in mind, in between the fun and games we are rather busy! Can I do my year out placement at Urban Splash? At the moment, we haven't got the set up for this but we are looking into it. So do check back, but we're not ready quite yet. It's too soon to rush into things. It's not you, it's us. back to top Job applications What jobs does Urban Splash have at the moment? You can check out the latest jobs at Urban Splash here and apply online. What happens after I've applied for a job online? We'll email you to acknowledge receipt of your application within 72 hours and for advertised roles we will notify you with feedback within two weeks of the closing date. We also aim to respond to speculative applications within two weeks. Do you have any jobs for architects or technicians? We don't have an in-house architecture team, instead we work with talented young architects across the country. If you like what we do, take a look at our Gallery to find out who's built what and where to apply. Do you have any jobs for trades on site? We do employ people directly to work on our sites, though we mainly use sub-contractors to deliver the work. All vacancies we do have are advertised online here in our Work For Us section. Does Urban Splash work with recruitment agencies? We've set up some notes for recruitment agencies which you can check out here. back to top Buying an Urban Splash home How can I find an Urban Splash home in my area? Use the search tool to see if we have any developments in your area or email live@urbansplash.co.uk. If you can't find anything then it's likely that we'll be in a town near you soon! Register your interest so we can keep you posted. What is the process for buying an Urban Splash home? Once you see something you like, you need to speak to our sales team, either at a launch event, in a sales office, or over the phone. You pick your property and pay a small reservation fee, usually about £1,000. You then have 28 days to speak to your solicitor to arrange the signing of your contract, and pay the exchange fee which is usually about 5% of the value of the property (a further 5% is usually payable 6 to 12 months post-exchange). Then you sit back, relax and wait for us to build you your dream home. You only pay the balance when it's ready for you to move in. What will my off-plan home be worth once completed? Hard to tell without a crystal ball. Urban Splash projects tend to be popular and most of our developments sell out long before they've been finished. back to top Owning an Urban Splash home How does everything in my home work? It's tricky this modern living lark. But don't panic. Before legal completion, you'll be invited round for a demonstration by a fully trained member of our Sales team. Phew. They'll show you how everything works, and where all the nitties and gritties are located. What about the gadgets and gizmos? Everything you need to know can be found in the Homeowners pack that you get when you move in. Here you'll find manuals and instructions for stuff, and what to do in the event of any problems. Great bedtime reading. What do Urban Splash Customer Care do? Give you peace of mind. You can relax for the first year. Our Customer Care Team will sort out any problems in your apartment which are covered under the terms of the 12 months defects warranty, startings from the day of legal completion. This warranty is only valid for you though, not for subsequent owners. What does the buildings insurance in my service charge include? This covers any structural or cosmetic damage to your property. You will still need separate contents insurance to replace that fancy pants plasma screen if the bath overflows in the home above you though. What do the managing agents do? The managing agents are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of your buildings common parts and shared services. This means emptying bins, cleaning windows, policing private parking areas, servicing sprinkler systems, etc. In the event of any queries or problems with your building or with your communal services, lean your head out of the window and shout 'Managing agents, help me!'. Or you can try the telephone. back to top Buying or letting Urban Splash work space How can I find an Urban Splash work space in my area? Use the search tool to see if we have any developments in your area or email commercial@urbansplash.co.uk. If you can't find anything then it's likely that we'll be in a town near you soon! Register your interest so we can keep you posted. What is the Short Form Lease? The short form lease is a simple, 4 page lease that's written in plain English. No jargon, no messing. This cuts down on administration, reduces legal costs, and can be sorted within 24 hours. Brilliant. What does the service charge include? The service charge covers the communal areas and external envelope of the building, however each building is different so for more information please call 0333 666 0000. How quickly can I be in the work space? With our Short Form Lease, you can be in your beautiful new Urban Splash space within 24 hours. See you in the morning. Do I have to pay business rates? Business rates are payable on all schemes apart from 5–11 Slater Street.

Our super speedy rent application process means you can move in a week after viewing. What is the deposit? The deposit is one month's rent plus £100. What is the process for moving in? A member of the Rentals team will give you a set of keys on the day you move in and show you around your new home to demonstrate how everything works. Each of our homes also comes with a handover pack containing useful information about your appliances, lighting, heating, electrics, etc. What should I do if something stops working? Contact our Rentals team on 0333 666 9999 or email rent@urbansplash.co.uk and a memeber of our in-house maintenance team will attend. back to top Talk to us How do I make a complaint?
