Some of the partners we work with

So you’re looking to move to the UK?

Maybe you haven’t yet found your ideal rental home, or perhaps you’ve been asked to provide a UK rent guarantor. Whether you’re a student or a professional, we at Housing Hand can support you.

As the largest guarantor service in the UK, we can offer support in finding your next home, as well as a trusted UK guarantor service that can be paid monthly or upfront to suit your needs.

What is a rent guarantor

In the UK, most landlords ask for a rent guarantor when renting out a property, especially to students or first-time renters. A guarantor is someone who agrees to pay the rent if the tenant is unable to. This offers financial security to landlords and is a standard part of the rental process in the UK.

In India, this concept isn’t as common, as rental agreements are often based on family references or security deposits. But in the UK, a guarantor must usually be a UK resident with a stable income and credit history – requirements that many international students or working professionals can’t meet.

Without a guarantor, tenants are often asked to pay six to twelve months of rent in advance, which can be a financial burden. Understanding this system is key to planning your move and budgeting for accommodation.

That’s why UK-based guarantor services exist to help eligible international renters meet this requirement and secure their housing with confidence.
