Iconinc – Your Complete Move-In Guide
Everything You Need to Know Before Moving into Inconinc Student Accommodation
Moving into student accommodation is much easier when you know what's already waiting for you, and what you'll still need to bring.
Inconinc provides premium student accommodation across a growing number of UK university cities, combining private studio living with extensive communal facilities.
Its current UK locations include accommodation in:
- Leeds
- Liverpool
- Lincoln
- Glasgow
- Newcastle
- Manchester
- York
- London
- Nottingham
- Chester
Inconinc is different from conventional shared university halls.
Its accommodation is centred around private self-contained apartments and studios, typically giving you your own bedroom, en-suite bathroom, study area and fitted kitchen.
Utility bills, high-speed Wi-Fi and contents insurance are included, while communal facilities can include gyms, cinemas, study rooms, lounges, games spaces and 24-hour concierge services.
But there are still important personal items you'll need to organise yourself — particularly bedding, cookware, crockery and everyday kitchen equipment.
This independent Loomz guide explains what's included at Inconinc, what you should bring and how to prepare for move-in day.

London

London universities often have multiple campuses, so don't choose accommodation based simply on the word “London”.

- Nottingham Trent University
- University of Nottingham

Inconinc Room Types
Inconinc primarily focuses on private studios and apartments rather than conventional rooms in large shared flats.
Room names vary between properties but can include options such as:
- Neo
- Smart
- Elegance
- Grande
Exact names, sizes and specifications vary.
The main differences are usually:
- Floor area
- Bed size
- Kitchen layout
- Storage
- Position within the building
- Views
- Additional living space
Always check the exact specification of the apartment you're booking.
What’s Usually Included in Your Inconinc Apartment?
Inconinc apartments are designed to be largely self-contained.
Typical room facilities include:
- Bed and mattress
- Wardrobe
- Storage
- Desk
- Chair
- Private en-suite bathroom
- Private fitted kitchen
- Major kitchen appliances
- Smart TV
- Broadband connection
- Wi-Fi
This means you don't need to bring your own furniture or major appliances.
However, fully furnished doesn't mean every household item you use is supplied.
Your Bed and Bedding
Inconinc currently states that apartments can include either a full-size double bed or king-size bed, depending on the apartment type.
Beds also feature substantial pocket-sprung mattresses.
But you'll still need bedding.
Typical items include:
- Mattress protector
- Fitted sheet
- Duvet
- Duvet cover
- Pillows
- Pillowcases
You might also want:
- Mattress topper
- Blanket
- Throw
Because Inconinc uses different bed sizes across its room types, check your exact mattress dimensions before buying fitted bedding.
Your Private Kitchen
A major advantage of Inconinc accommodation is having your own fitted kitchen.
That means you don't need to share:
- Fridge space
- Cupboards
- Cooking facilities
- Washing-up
- Kitchen cleaning
with several flatmates.
The major kitchen appliances are already provided.
However, Inconinc's own move-in guidance tells students to think about everyday kitchen essentials including:
- Plates
- Bowls
- Mugs
- Glasses
- Cutlery
- Saucepans
- Frying pans
- Cooking utensils
- Chopping board
- Tea towels
- Food-storage containers
Those are the kinds of items you'll need to organise before or shortly after moving in.
Communal Mega Kitchens
Although Inconinc apartments have private kitchen facilities, some developments also provide large communal kitchens.
Inconinc calls these Mega Kitchens at selected properties.
These give residents more space for:
- Cooking with friends
- Group meals
- Hosting
- Socialising
- Preparing larger meals
For example, The Glassworks in Leeds provides a communal Mega Kitchen with additional cooking facilities.
This gives you the best of both worlds: your own private kitchen for everyday life and a larger shared space when you want it.
All-Inclusive Bills
Inconinc markets its apartments as all-inclusive.
This means the main household utility bills are incorporated into the accommodation price rather than requiring you to arrange separate utility accounts.
Always check the precise inclusions and terms in your own tenancy agreement.
Wi-Fi
High-speed Wi-Fi is included throughout Inconinc accommodation.
Inconinc currently advertises speeds of up to around 350Mbps across its properties.
There are also broadband connections within apartments.
You'll still need your own:
- Laptop
- Phone
- Tablet if required
- Chargers
- Headphones
- Course-specific equipment
Smart TV
Inconinc provides a Smart TV within apartments.
This is useful for streaming services and entertainment.
However, having a TV supplied doesn't automatically cover your UK TV licensing responsibilities.
If you watch live television or use BBC iPlayer, check the current TV Licensing rules to establish whether you need your own licence.
Contents Insurance
Contents insurance is included with Inconinc accommodation.
Inconinc provides residents with information about what's covered when they move in.
Don't assume every valuable possession is automatically protected in every circumstance.
Check:
- Individual item limits
- Overall cover
- Excess
- Exclusions
- Cover outside your apartment
If you're bringing particularly expensive equipment, you may want additional protection.
Gym
Resident gym access is one of Inconinc's major selling points.
Its properties commonly provide large, well-equipped gyms with:
- Cardio equipment
- Resistance machines
- Free weights
Gym access is included for residents.
This may save you the cost of a separate commercial gym membership.
Bring your own:
- Gym clothing
- Trainers
- Water bottle
- Gym towel
Sauna and Steam Room
Selected Inconinc properties also provide wellness facilities such as:
- Sauna
- Steam room
These aren't necessarily available at every Inconinc building, so check your particular property.
Study Spaces
Your apartment gives you a private space to study, but Inconinc also provides dedicated communal study rooms.
That means you can choose between:
- Studying privately in your apartment
- Using Inconinc's study facilities
- University library
- University teaching spaces
- Local cafés and libraries
Some properties also provide computer facilities such as iMac stations.
Cinema and Entertainment
Private cinema facilities feature prominently across Inconinc's established properties.
Depending on where you live, communal facilities can also include:
- Cinema rooms
- Games rooms
- Karaoke
- Music facilities
- Games consoles
- Pool
- Social lounges
- Private dining spaces
These communal facilities are particularly useful because Inconinc accommodation is studio-led.
They give you somewhere to meet residents rather than spending all your free time inside your apartment.
Grab & Go Breakfast
A particularly unusual Inconinc benefit is its complimentary Grab & Go breakfast at many properties.
Offerings can include things such as:
- Pastries
- Fruit
- Orange juice
- Coffee
- Tea
The exact offering and operating hours may vary.
Check your particular property after arrival.
The Pantry
Selected Inconinc properties also provide a Pantry or convenience-store-style facility.
This can be useful if you've run out of basic food or household supplies and don't want to make a separate trip to a supermarket.
24-Hour Concierge
Many Inconinc properties provide a 24-hour concierge.
The concierge team can help with everyday building matters and, depending on your property, things such as:
- Parcel deliveries
- Accommodation questions
- Building assistance
- Local information
This is especially useful for students living away from home for the first time.
Parcels and Deliveries
Inconinc's concierge service can assist with parcel deliveries at participating properties.
Before ordering anything, check:
- Your exact postal address
- Apartment number requirements
- Delivery instructions
- Parcel collection procedure
Always use your full registered name and the addressing format provided by Inconinc.
Laundry
Inconinc provides resident laundry facilities.
Laundry arrangements and charges can vary between buildings.
You'll still need:
- Laundry detergent
- Laundry bag or basket
- Stain remover if required
- Delicates bag
Check your property's current system after moving in.
Bathroom Essentials
Your Inconinc apartment gives you a private en-suite bathroom.
That means no shower rota and no queue outside a shared bathroom in the morning.
You'll still need your own:
- Bath towels
- Hand towels
- Toothbrush
- Toothpaste
- Shampoo
- Shower products
- Toiletries
- Skincare
- Haircare
- Grooming products
- Bathroom cleaning products where required
Preparing for Move-In Day
1. Confirm your Inconinc property
Inconinc now operates across several UK cities.
Make sure you're looking at information for your actual building rather than another Inconinc development.
2. Check your apartment type
Find the exact studio or apartment category you've booked.
3. Confirm your bed size
Inconinc uses both full-size double and king-size beds depending on room type.
Confirm your mattress dimensions before buying fitted bedding.
4. Organise your bedding
You'll need bedding for your first night.
Think about:
- Sheet
- Mattress protector
- Duvet
- Duvet cover
- Pillows
- Pillowcases
5. Plan your kitchen essentials
Your kitchen and major appliances are supplied.
Concentrate on everyday items such as:
- Cookware
- Crockery
- Cutlery
- Utensils
6. Check your arrival information
Read the move-in information sent by your Inconinc property.
Confirm:
- Arrival date
- Check-in time
- Building address
- Concierge/reception arrangements
- Identification requirements
- Any parking or unloading instructions
7. Pack a first-night bag
Keep the essentials somewhere accessible:
- Bedding
- Towel
- Toiletries
- Medication
- Phone charger
- Important documents
- Change of clothes
- Basic food and drink
You don't want your duvet buried underneath ten boxes when you're ready for bed.
Living in a Studio
Studio accommodation gives you considerably more privacy than a traditional shared flat.
You have your own:
- Kitchen
- Bathroom
- Bedroom
- Study area
- Living space
That means you don't need to negotiate over:
- Cleaning rotas
- Fridge shelves
- Washing-up
- Cooking schedules
- Bathroom time
But there is a trade-off.
It's easier to spend large amounts of time alone when everything you need is inside your apartment.
Make use of Inconinc's:
- Lounges
- Gym
- Cinema
- Study spaces
- Games facilities
- Communal kitchens
- Resident activities
particularly during your first few weeks.
Making Your Studio Feel Like Home
A few personal items can make a studio feel considerably less anonymous.
Think about bringing:
- Photos
- Small decorative items
- Favourite blanket
- Cushions
- A favourite mug
- A few personal objects
Don't overpack.
Student studios have limited storage and it's much easier to add something later than live for nine months surrounded by unnecessary possessions.
Storage and Organisation
Your apartment already contains built-in storage.
Make the most of it before adding anything else.
Useful accessories can include:
- Drawer organisers
- Wardrobe organisers
- Compact laundry storage
- Desk organisation
- Cable management
- Food-storage containers
Avoid anything that could damage walls, doors or furniture.
Always follow your accommodation's rules regarding hooks, adhesives and decorations.
International Students
Inconinc accommodates many international students.
If you're travelling to the UK from overseas, keep important documents in your hand luggage or somewhere easily accessible.
These can include:
- Passport
- Visa documents where applicable
- University documentation
- Inconinc accommodation information
- Insurance details
- Medication documentation
- Emergency contacts
The UK uses Type G electrical plugs.
Check that electrical equipment brought from overseas is compatible with the UK electricity supply rather than assuming that using a plug adapter alone makes it suitable.
What Should You Buy Before You Move In?
Inconinc provides considerably more than many conventional student residences.
Your furniture, kitchen, bathroom, TV, broadband and major facilities are already included.
That means you can concentrate on your personal everyday essentials.
Bedroom Essentials
Consider:
- Comfortable bedding
- Mattress protector
- Pillows
- Bed linen
- Bedside lighting
- Clothes hangers

- Cutlery
- Kitchen utensils

- Washing-up kit
If you're sharing, speak to your housemates before purchasing communal equipment.
Bathroom Essentials
Whether you have an en-suite or shared bathroom, you'll still need everyday bathroom items such as:
- Towels
- Toiletries
- Shower organiser
- Bathroom storage
- Cleaning products
- Bath mat, if required
Study Essentials
- Desk organiser
- Laptop stand
- Headphones
