What can Housing Hand do for you?

Reduce your financial risk
Since 2013 Housing Hand have a proud record of settling 100% of all valid claims, even during challenging social and economic periods, such as Covid & Brexit.
Support your tenants with their health and wellbeing
Every tenant guaranteed by Housing Hand will have access to our HealthHero 24/7 virtual GP and wellbeing support.
Ensure you remain compliant
Remove your risk of financial penalties and legal consequences with the Housing Hand ID Verification. Take the risk and admin burden off your team, to ensure you are fully compliant with minimal effort.
Provide free qualified leads to help you fill your rooms
Many international students and working professionals find Housing Hand before visiting the typical UK property marketplaces, meaning we can provide our partners with high quality, unique leads for free via our house finder service.
Cover your costs during student void periods
Under the Renter’s Rights Bill tenants can provide two months’ notice at any time during their tenancy, potentially leaving student landlords with void periods. Find out how we are supporting our student accommodation providers with void period cover.
Save valuable time and resource
Our SRA legal & collections team will reduce overheads in recovering defaulted rent. We take an ethical approach to working with tenants & their co-signers, whilst easing the burden and legal costs associated with default rent payments. We keep more tenants in tenancy with our mediation process to support tenants getting back on track and avoiding void periods.

ID Verification

What is ID Verification?

ID verification is the process of confirming your tenants’ identity with accuracy, speed, and full compliance. With Housing Hand’s market leading checks, you can reduce your risk of fines, sanctions and legal consequences, while providing your tenants with a safe, secure onboarding experience.

Our best-in-class KYC (Know Your Customer) technology ensures that every tenant is verified against the most up-to-date legislation, giving you complete confidence in who you let to.

We have been using Housing Hand for over 8 years now and have been consistently impressed with their helpful and thorough service, the team is always friendly and accommodating when it comes to getting agreements signed quickly. Housing Hand is a win-win for tenants and landlords as it is excellent alternative for those who cannot provide a UK guarantor or pay their rent upfront and keeps our landlords happy as 100% of their rent is guaranteed. An outstanding service that Pavilion Properties would highly recommend.
