What is Rent Guarantor

Put simply, a rent guarantor is someone who legally takes responsibility for your rent if you are unable to pay.

Having a guarantor for all is a decent and trustworthy way to increase your UK renting options. At Housing Hand, our mission is to make renting easier by providing a UK guarantor to everyone who doesn't have one.

Why do I need it

Having a guarantor proves to landlords and accommodation providers that you can meet rent and bill requirements, especially in cases where you haven't had a chance to build up a favourable credit score yet or have a poor credit history.

How does it work

Find your new accommodation

Before you start your application, we will need details of your accommodation.

Peace of mind for Parents!

We didn’t know what exactly our daughter would need abroad. UniEssentials helped us send everything from pressure cookers to SIM cards in one go. It made us feel a bit more at peace.
