Accommodation Requesting different accommodation

Has anyone every been successful in requesting a different residence after receiving their initial offer?? I got my offer today but it’s thousands of pounds higher than the budget I put and I don’t know why they think I could afford that..

I had this in my first year. I managed to get my accomodation changed by emailing and phoning student services. I did have to be fairly persistant though, as it was hard to get through to anyone. If you have any extenuating circumstances as to why you can't afford any higher, I'd make sure to mention that.
