Housing Hand, in partnership with StuRents, provides a rent guarantor service for students who are unable to provide a satisfactory UK based guarantor. Securing a suitable property and the financial strains of upfront rent payments have been one of the biggest challenges for students in the UK. The majority of accommodation providers in the UK will ask you to pay your rent 6 or 12 months in advance if you can’t provide a qualified UK-based guarantor.
As a Letting Agent or Landlord, you will know all too well that asking a tenant to provide a Guarantor can prove time consuming and difficult, not to mention the frustration and knock-on effect of having to turn away tenants without a Guarantor. The award winning Housing Hand Guarantor service is the efficient solution to secure tenant’s rents while allowing them to pay their rent in better instalment options.
The latest figures from UCAS show that for the 2017-18 academic year the number of full-time undergraduate applications made by the 15 January deadline have dropped 5% compared to the same period a year earlier.
