SECURING A UK GUARANTOR
If you are an international student and would like to pay your rent in instalments, you will need a qualified UK guarantor. So we’ve teamed up with a great company to make sorting out a UK guarantor a simple and easy process!
During the booking process with Homes for Students if you wish to use either of the services below please add Housing Hand into the guarantor pages of the booking process online and once your application is complete please contact Housing Hand to make your guarantor application with them as per the instructions below. This ensures your room is secured with us, once Homes for Students hear back from the guarantor company to say your application has been accepted we will then complete your booking.

DO YOU NEED A UK RENT GUARANTOR? PAY YOUR RENT ‘MONTHLY’ OR ‘IN INSTALMENTS’.
If you are an International or UK student planning to book a room at Home for Students and pay your rent in instalments, you will be asked to provide a qualified UK based Guarantor. A Guarantor is someone who is in full time employment or a homeowner, who will take financial responsibility for the tenancy and will be liable to pay the tenants rent if, for any reason, they are unable to pay an amount owed to the accommodation provider.
Homes for Students in partnership with Housing Hand provides a Guarantor service for students who are unable to provide a satisfactory UK based Guarantor.
For further information about the Housing Hand Guarantor service, please visit housinghand.co.uk or call them directly on +44 (0) 20 7205 2625.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Housing Hand charges a one off fee at the beginning of your tenancy. The fee is calculated on your course and location details,to get an instant quote you just need to make an application online. The cost of the service will be between 60-95 % of your share of the monthly rent, subject to a minimum of £295.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
It is known that people or businesses make bookings of rooms in high demand properties and cities to sell to individuals later, or pay others to make bookings to be resold later. While we do everything we can to stop this fraudulent activity, including requiring ID and university evidence, it is not possible to stop it completely. The individuals and groups conducting this fraudulent activity claim to have legitimate reasons to want to sell their rooms, but subsequently charge high additional fees to the genuine student who wants to room.
Students should NOT book rooms from private individuals claiming to have special offers or exclusivity of rooms. Homes for Students manage enquiries, bookings, and organise tenancy takeovers directly. It is highly unlikely a room that becomes unwanted by an individual will be re-let to a student who is introduced to us by that person.
If in any doubt as to the legitimacy of a room offer, special promotion, or to verify if an individual or business advertising rooms to let is legitimate, you should NOT make any payment to them, and contact Homes for Students at: [email protected].
Rooms will NEVER be sold by Homes for Students with any ‘application fees’, ‘service fees’, ‘admin fees’, ‘takeover fees’, ‘handling fees’, or any other additional fees that are not detailed on our website. Any individual or business stating this is required is acting fraudulently. Please report this activity to us at: [email protected] and do not make any payment to them.
Tenants who have entered a legally binding contract will remain liable for the rent for the whole length of the contracted tenancy until another tenant that is acceptable to the landlord is found and the room is able to be re-let.

学生们不要轻易相信私人机构或个人所谓的独家优惠以及独家房源，不要高价承租他们的房间。 Homes For Students直接管理着咨询，预定以及转租流程。我们不会将房间直接转租给那些个人（黄牛）介绍给我们的学生。
