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.

Guaranteed rent and how a claim works

Our professional guarantor covers your rent if a tenant cannot pay. You receive cover for the length of the tenancy for rent arrears and for damages and dilapidations, with additional cover available. To make a claim, you submit it within 28 days of a missed payment with proof, and we settle valid claims. Since 2013 we've kept a 100% payout rate on valid claims, through Covid and Brexit. It is a professional guarantor service, not an insurance policy.

Hear what some of our customers have to say…

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.
