What’s it all about?

What’s a rent guarantor service?

Put simply, this is a person or business who is prepared to be responsible for your rent should you get behind on your payments.

How does it work?

If you don’t have a UK guarantor, we can step in. We guarantee your rent to the landlord, so you can move in stress-free.

Why do you need one?

Most landlords ask for a UK-based guarantor when renting for the first time, or with little to no credit history. We have your back, so you don’t miss out on your new home.

Sue Churchward was amazing. She was so quick to reply, reassured me and was willing to help me the best she could. I was very stressed with my situation, but knowing that Sue is handling it has lifted a weight of my shoulders. Even now, she is keeping me updated, which is so lovely of her. Thank you Sue!

I've been working with Thomas Poku on a few applications with tenants moving into my properties and even with tenants who struggle with English and understanding forms and what need to be provided Thomas has been able to help guide us through the steps to complete what needs to be done. I will continue to ask for Thomas.

Great service provided by Housing Hand, when I had no where else to turn. Tom and Sue from the team worked as hard as they could to make sure all the documents were processed for my letting agent so that I could move in on time. Tight turnaround and they pulled it off - friendly all the way.

I had lots of hiccups trying to get a UK guarantor, but Dani Smith was very helpful and let me know exactly what I needed and always kept me up to speed with what was going on. They were also very good at replying to emails which made my experience working with them really nice.

Housing Hand exceeded my expectations. The advisor- Thomas, went above and beyond to resolve my query. He is proficient, empathetic and warm. He spectacularly alleviated my worries about finding a suitable rent guarantor. Furthermore, the option to pay via instalments is immensely student-friendly. I highly recommend Housing Hands.
