Is it for you?

Housing Hand offers Landlords all over the UK, a quick and easy solution to the guarantor problem, as well as 100% secured rent, at no cost to them or the Letting Agent what so ever.

We are the rent guarantor service trusted by thousands of landlords and other accommodation providers every year.

How does it work?

We are a UK based rent guarantor service

Housing Hand acts as a rent guarantor service for landlords. We are the only award-winning UK rent guarantor service offering fully comprehensive cover of rent, damages and dilapidation’s for both students and working professionals.

We work closely with landlords

When a Landlord has a tenant that needs a rent guarantor, they simply need to point the tenant in the direction of Housing Hand. The tenant will be able to confirm they are eligible and get a quote for using the Rent Guarantor Service in minutes. It’s that simple.

We act as a tenants guarantor

As long as a tenant is eligable, they can sign up with us and we will become their acting guarantor. It’s up to the tenants to pay us each month, so you, the landlord, pay nothing at all. You can sit back and relax in the knowledge that your monthly rental income is secured.

Never lose a tenant again

No longer will you have to turn away perfectly valid tenants because they cannot supply a qualifying UK-based guarantor! Housing Hand provides you with a safe way of ensuring you are able to rent out your property, without any risk of defaulting tenants.

Common Questions

How much does the service cost landlords?

The service is free for landlords.

Housing Hand charge the tenant a one-off fee at the beginning of their tenancy, but can also split the cost out over a period of months.

Can a guarantor back out?

No. Once the AST and Guarantor Deed have been signed, Housing Hand are bound for a fixed term of the tenancy so that is one less worry for landlords.

How long do we guarantee any given tenant for?

The guarantee Housing Hand provides, covers all of our customer’s tenant liabilities, as detailed in the tenancy agreement. If a tenant defaults, send us an invoice with the details of the default and expect payment within 28 days.
