In the United Kingdom, a guarantor is typically someone who agrees to take responsibility for your rental payments and other obligations if you are unable to meet them. The most common individuals who can act as your UK guarantor include:
Parent or Legal Guardian:
A parent or legal guardian is often the preferred choice and is widely accepted by landlords and accommodation providers.
Family Member:
A close family member, such as a sibling or grandparent, may also qualify as a guarantor.
Friend:
Some landlords may accept a close friend as a guarantor, though this is less common and often depends on the landlord’s policies.
It’s essential to check with our team of experienced experts to confirm the specific requirements of providers or landlords before making the application, as they may have preferences or restrictions.
Additional Necessary Requirements:
The guarantor should:
Be a UK resident
Hold a UK passport
Have a good credit history
Demonstrate sufficient income to cover the rental payments in case you are unable to do so.
