Hundreds of university students have been left desperately scrambling for last-minute accommodation as the halls they were due to move into remain unfinished.
People who applied for housing at Bowline on Benson Street received the news from Fresh Student Living on Tuesday, just four days before the September 17 move-in date.
The housing company, which acquired the Liverpool city centre property from former managers Prestige Student Living just last week, wrote in an email shared with the ECHO: "Due to circumstances out of our control, the developer has informed us that we are unable to allow residents to move in. Unfortunately, this means that your room at Bowline will not be available for occupation on Saturday, September 17. Whilst we are yet to receive clarity on a completion date at this stage, we anticipate an occupation date of January 7 2023."
