Burying less rubbish also means we have to build fewer landfill sites, which frees up land for other use. Read the rest of this entry »

Coming to collect your keys at The Pinnacles

Posted September 1st, 2011 by DIGS Admin. Filed in DIGS Student, Pinnacles

We are all super excited to meet you in September and we imagine you can’t wait to see your new DIGS!  Before you can do this though you will need to have a “check-in” which involves collecting your keys and going through a couple of bits with the office staff.  This shouldn’t take too long, however, at busy times queues can form and sometimes small delays can happen.

Check-in Inspections @ The Pinnacles

Posted August 23rd, 2011 by DIGS Admin. Filed in Pinnacles

When you check in to the Pinnacles next month you will no doubt want to get unpacking and socialising with your new flat mates straight away.  However, it is important to make sure you remember to book a check in appointment with our Facilities team when you come to collect your keys.  This appointment will involve a member of our team visiting your apartment a day or two after you have checked in to check your bedroom and communal area with you for already existing damage or maintenance issues.

Advice for when you check in to your new home.

Posted August 11th, 2011 by DIGS Admin. Filed in DIGS Student

Just like renting any apartment, house or room it’s very important that before lugging in all your worldly possessions you give your new residence a once over. At DIGs we try our very hardest to note any existing knocks and bumps your room may have, but with 100s of apartments to check each term sometimes we can go a little buzz-eyed! So we urge you to check your inventory forms and alert us to any damage you spot, no matter how small, before settling in. Read the rest of this entry »
