No guarantor? No problem - we can help you secure your perfect place

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.

Renting with other people? Make sure you’re protected with Only My Share

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.

Put simply, the Guarantor Passport is pre-approved guarantor with Housing Hand. A conditional offer. Showing landlords and accommodation providers that Housing Hand could stand as your guarantor, subject to completing the full guarantor process.
