Question 1

Why do I have to pay advanced rent?

Accepted Answer

This secures your booking so that you can take a little bit of time to complete your contract without worrying.

Question 2

Why do I need a guarantor?

Accepted Answer

A guarantor commits to ensuring that the terms of the tenancy agreement are complied with. Guarantors provide us with additional financial security in the event of a change in your circumstance. If you would like to pay in instalments throughout the year, you will need a UK based guarantor.

Question 3

Who can be a guarantor?

Accepted Answer

Anyone over the age of 18, who is a UK resident, can be your guarantor.

Question 4

In what situations might we contact the guarantor?

Accepted Answer

Circumstances change, and we understand that. A guarantor assures us as your landlords, that there is someone on hand who understands and accepts the responsibility of rent, should you be unable to pay.

Question 5

What details from the guarantor do I need to provide when booking?

Accepted Answer

We will need a Name, current UK address, email address and a contact number. Once you have signed the contract your guarantor will be asked to accept the agreement and provide proof of ID and address. If they are not a UK national but reside in the UK they must provide proof of settled status.

Question 6

What can I do, if I don’t have a guarantor?

Accepted Answer

Don’t worry if you do not have a guarantor, we do have other options available for you. Full payment contracts are available. This would mean your rental is payable upfront at the start of your tenancy and therefore no need for a guarantor. However, we know that upfront payment can be a big ask and in these circumstances we can recommend an approved UK rent guarantor service. Please speak to your individual site team if you are looking to use a rent guarantor service.

Question 7

What do I do if there is a problem with my room or flat?
