Unipol do not supply bedding or kitchen supplies.

You will need to provide your own bedding and your own kitchen equipment. You will need to be able to make your bed to sleep in and have kitchen equipment to cook with/to eat from.
Ideally, you should arrange for these to be delivered to your flat/house after you have arrived, so you are around to accept delivery of them at your new address.
If you are not bringing your own bedding or kitchen equipment, you should order these supplies before you arrive in the UK, so you have them on time.
A number of companies offer this service to students, here is one such organisation:
In some circumstances, Unipol can accept limited deliveries in advance or your arrival, but staff must be notified in advance housing@unipol.org.uk
Staff will not accept food deliveries under any circumstances
Food Shopping
We advise that you do an online food shop before you arrive.
Please arrange for the food to be delivered to your flat address after you arrive, so you are at home and able to accept the delivery.
There are lots of supermarkets that offer an online delivery service. These are some popular UK options for you to choose between;
Important – remember that Unipol staff cannot accept food deliveries for tenants
You need to be at your residence in the UK
Arriving out of hours
It is important to book your arrival. You will receive information on how to book your arrival and key collection on a separate email from Unipol
You should plan to arrive at the building during the opening hours available and during a booked appointment time. Most sites do not have 24-hour staff, so it is important that you make arrangements in advance
If you have no alternative but to arrive ‘out of hours’ because of when your flight arrives in the UK, then for your comfort and ease, you should consider booking a hotel until the building is open for key collection.

We look forward to welcoming you to your new Unipol home soon.
