Studying in the UK? We’ll Be Your Guarantor.
Finding accommodation should be exciting, not stressful. Yet many landlords and letting agents require a UK based guarantor before approving a tenancy, which can create a hurdle for students, particularly those moving from overseas. At My Guarantor, we provide a professional guarantor service, giving you the support you need to secure your rental.
Renting Without a UK Credit History?
As a student, it’s unlikely you’ll have an established UK credit history, years of employment, or previous landlord references. These are often the factors landlords rely on when assessing applications, making it harder to secure a home, even if you’re financially responsible.
Our professional guarantor service bridges that gap. Instead of relying on family or friends to act as your guarantor, we provide a simple, reliable solution that gives landlords the confidence they need while helping you move into your new home sooner.
