UK Guarantor Service

No UK Guarantor?
We've Got You Covered.

Some UK accommodation providers require a guarantor who meets specific residence, income, or credit checks. We can introduce Housing Hand as one possible commercial guarantor service; eligibility and provider acceptance still need confirmation.

Housing Hand charges applicants a fee. Check its current quote and terms before proceeding.

The Problem Every Indian Student Faces

You've found the perfect room near your university. The landlord says "great — just get me a UK guarantor." You send your parents' details. They get rejected. The landlord moves on to the next applicant.

Requirements vary by provider. Some require a UK-based guarantor, while others may accept an overseas guarantor, a commercial service, or advance rent. Ask for the exact policy before reserving a room or paying money.

Our Solution: Housing Hand

We partner with Housing Hand — one of the UK's most trusted guarantor services, which states that thousands of landlords, agents, and accommodation providers accept its service. Acceptance is not universal.
