Frequently Asked Questions

What is Advanced Rent?

  • You are required to pay an advance rent at the time of booking. This is equivalent to one weeks rental.
  • This is refundable should you decide to cancel within the cooling off period or later find your place has been withdrawn or you aren’t able to obtain a UK visa.
  • The advance rent will show as a payment towards your first rental instalment on your account.

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 they contact the guarantor?

What details from the guarantor do I need to provide when booking?

They 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, they 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, they know that upfront payment can be a big ask and in these circumstances they 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.
