Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have to pay advanced rent?
This secures your booking so that you can take a little bit of time to complete your contract without worrying.
Why do I need a guarantor?
A guarantor commits to ensuring that the terms of the tenancy agreement are complied with. Guarantors provide us with additional financial security in the event of a change in your circumstance. If you would like to pay in instalments throughout the year, you will need a UK based guarantor.
Who can be a guarantor?
Anyone over the age of 18, who is a UK resident, can be your guarantor.
In what situations might we contact the guarantor?
Circumstances change, and we understand that. A guarantor assures us as your landlords, that there is someone on hand who understands and accepts the responsibility of rent, should you be unable to pay.
What details from the guarantor do I need to provide when booking?
We will need a Name, current UK address, email address and a contact number. Once you have signed the contract your guarantor will be asked to accept the agreement and provide proof of ID and address. If they are not a UK national but reside in the UK they must provide proof of settled status.
What can I do, if I don’t have a guarantor?
Don’t worry if you do not have a guarantor, we do have other options available for you. Full payment contracts are available. This would mean your rental is payable upfront at the start of your tenancy and therefore no need for a guarantor. However, we know that upfront payment can be a big ask and in these circumstances we can recommend an approved UK rent guarantor service. Please speak to your individual site team if you are looking to use a rent guarantor service.
What do I do if there is a problem with my room or flat?
You can log maintenance issues through the online portal by logging into your account on the website and clicking ‘Maintenance request’.
