Accommodation for students has joined forces with Housing Hand
There are some changes afoot!
UK Guarantor and Accommodation for students joined forces with Housing Hand in 2020. Housing Hand is the UK’s largest provider of rent guarantees. But don’t worry, any agreements made with UK Guarantor will carry on for as long as they were agreed, unaffected. For any applications you can head to https://ukguarantor.com/. Here, you will be directed to create an account and apply using Housing Hand upon application. Or, alternatively, you can head straight to https://www.housinghand.co.uk/. Beyond these differences you can expect the same great service that you have always received. There may even be the odd improvement here and there!
Accommodation for students
You may know Accommodation for Students; they’re the UK’s number one student accommodation website and our referral partner. Accommodation for students has joined forces with Housing Hand, the UK’s largest rent guarantor service. They provide an enhanced, UK-wide service helping individuals rent the properties of their choice. There’s no need to find thousands of pounds for a deposit.
As part of this, UK Guarantor, Accommodation for Students’ previous referral partner, have been acquired by Housing Hand. This will enable them to deliver an even greater service to those seeking a rental guarantor.
“As the UK’s number one student accommodation website, we are thrilled to be working in partnership with Housing Hand. Together, we aim to ensure that those studying at the UK’s world-renowned universities are able to access appropriate accommodation throughout their higher education.”
Simon Thompson, Managing Director, Accommodation for Students
Housing Hand Guarantor service
This combination of companies will allow Housing Hand to continue to build on the fantastic work they have already done. They have helped and processed over 100,000 applicants since 2013, with 4000 accommodation providers, covering a total of more than £700 million in rent. This is exciting news for anyone in the UK who is seeking a rent guarantor and would otherwise not have one.
Your contract with UK Guarantor won’t change
This won’t affect any old contracts that may still be active with UK Guarantor. You will continue to receive the same cover and support that they agreed to. The difference is all of their current and future renters can benefit by being serviced by a company of Housing Hands size and experience. It’s great news for you and the rental sector as a whole.
“We are delighted to be bringing UK Guarantor under the Housing Hand umbrella in order to serve even more tenants and students across the UK. Through our acquisition of UK Guarantor and new partnership with Accommodation for Students, we will offer an enhanced, UK-wide service. It will enable individuals to rent the properties of their choice without needing to find thousands of pounds for a deposit.”
