Working Professionals Rent Guarantor Service UK | Housing Hand

No UK Guarantor? Our Professional Guarantor Service can help

Most landlords and accommodation providers in the UK need you to have a guarantor - someone who’s responsible for paying your rent if you fall behind.

If you don’t have one, as the UK’s biggest guarantor service and the only pay-monthly provider, we’ll help you get access to more housing options and provide the security your landlord is looking for.

That’s not all - our Guarantor service includes 24/7 healthcare and wellbeing support. So you can focus on settling into your new home, and let us worry about the rest.

Why Working Professionals Need a Rent Guarantor Service

Even with a good salary and stable employment, securing a rental property in the UK can be unexpectedly difficult. Most UK landlords require a guarantor who is UK-based, earns at least 2.5× the annual rent, and has a strong credit history. If you're relocating from overseas, starting a new role, or simply haven't built up a UK credit file yet, finding someone who meets those criteria can be near-impossible.

Housing Hand acts as your professional, UK-based guarantor - so your landlord gets the security they need, and you don't have to put a family member or friend at financial risk. We accept working professionals in all employment situations, including:

Professionals relocating to the UK from overseas
Employees who have recently started a new job (less than 3 months in role)
Self-employed professionals and contractors
International professionals on work visas (Skilled Worker, Graduate, etc.)
Those with no UK credit history or a limited credit file
Professionals moving from company accommodation to private rental

You need to earn at least 2.0x your share of the monthly rent. We'll verify income via payslips, bank statements, or a signed employment contract - whatever suits your situation.

What happens when someone in your house falls behind on rent or leaves the property? Well, if you’re in a joint and several contract (most house shares are), you could be liable for their share of the rent.

We don’t believe you should be held responsible for someone else not paying rent. That’s why we created Only My Share. Our guarantee means that if your housemate doesn’t pay and your landlord pursues you for rent, we can step in and cover any rent owed by the other party.
