Finding a suitable guarantor can be one of the biggest hurdles when securing a rental property, particularly for those new to the UK, students, or anyone without a close family connection who can take on that responsibility.
That's why Winkworth has partnered with Rent Guarantor to provide a straightforward, professional solution for tenants who need a UK guarantor. It's a service that gives landlords the confidence and protection they need, while opening the door for tenants who might otherwise struggle to secure the right property.
Whether you're a tenant looking for a trusted guarantor service or a landlord wanting complete peace of mind, Rent Guarantor offers a simple, reliable and fully professional option that works for everyone involved.
If you can’t get a family or friend as a guarantor or you don't have anyone in the UK to support you, Rent Guarantor is your perfect solution. This service is available to students, people who are employed, self-employed and retired.
When tenants are facing difficulty paying their rent, you are protected. If you’re a landlord looking for a fixed rental income, paid every month then Rent Guarantor is your answer for faster deals. Please note this is not insurance but it’s your way of guaranteed security and legal support.
