Protect yourself and your child.

When it comes to protecting renters, we’re the UK’s number one brand. We step in so you don’t have to – we also work with your child to solve problems rather than going straight to the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’

Our products help support your child when they’re struggling or make mistakes, then work with them to find a solution. 

We also support you! Paying rent upfront can be expensive, and joint shared house contracts a huge liability

You might choose to do this yourself but if you’re looking for alternatives let us help you review the options

we have four core products:

UK Guarantor

Only My Share

House Finder

Depositless

Lifeboat

What is a Guarantor Service?

We’ve supplied tens of thousands of rent guarantees. There are lots of reasons why it’s better to use our service than being a guarantor yourself

If a guarantor is needed by the accommodation provider, you could potentially stand as guarantor yourself, or you could pay rent upfront.

This is how our service is better than those options

How it works:

Default

Your child fails to pay rent on time - it happens!

We Pay

We immediately pay the landlord the full amount

We Talk

We work with your child to pay over time

Why is this a good thing?

What is Only My Share?

Who is your child living with? Are they reliable?

Most house shares in the UK have ‘Joint and Several’ contracts, so if one person doesn’t pay, the rest of the house are liable. 

We can protect you against that.

What is House Finder?

We’re been protecting tenants for longer than anyone else. Even through the pandemic, we’ve stood by our tenants and our clients – our reputation and relationships are unmatched in the UK.

If your child hasn’t found a property yet and you think they’ll need a guarantee, why not let us find them a home where they’ll be accepted?

How does it work?

It’s free and easy to use
