What is your cancellation and refund policy?

You can request a cancellation through your dashboard at any time, whether your application is complete or your move-in date has passed, for any of the following reasons:

  • You've changed your mind before the tenancy begins
  • Your accommodation provider no longer requires a guarantor
  • Your accommodation provider has cancelled your booking
  • You've ended your tenancy early

Housing Hand may review refunds for service fees paid, but the onboarding or renewal fees are non-refundable. 

Eligibility for a refund: 

  • If you have fully completed your guarantor application, we require evidence from your accommodation provider confirming that:  
  • You are no longer moving in or living in the property. 
  • That Housing Hand stopped being the guarantor for the property registered in your application.
  • Neither you nor Housing Hand have any liability for the property. 
  • The exact date that this change occurred. 

  • Evidence must be sent directly to refunds@housinghand.co.uk. 

Cancellation fees: 

  • If you or your co-signer decide to cancel, we may charge an administration fee. 
  • If your accommodation provider rejected your tenancy application or did not allow you to move in, no administration fee will be charged. 
  • If Housing Hand decides not to proceed with your application, no administration fee will apply. 

Refund processing time: 

  • Refunds are typically processed within 14 days of receiving a valid request and the required evidence. 
  • All refund requests must be submitted through your online dashboard on our website. If you are unable to see this option, you can email refunds@housinghand.co.uk
  • You will receive an email confirmation once your refund has been processed and your application cancelled. 
  • If your refund is approved, the money will be returned to the original card or payment method used.
  • To follow up on a refund request you've already submitted, please email refunds@housinghand.co.uk with your full name and the email address linked to your application so the team can assist you.
