🔐 GUARANTOR
A UK guarantor is required to secure the flat, and there are two easy ways to sort it:
1️⃣ Your own guarantor — a UK-based homeowner in stable employment (often a parent or close relative) who agrees to cover the rent if it's ever missed. They'll just need to pass a standard reference/affordability check.
2️⃣ A guarantor service — no UK guarantor to hand? No problem. You can use a professional service such as Housing Hand (or a similar provider), who act as your guarantor for a small fee, payable upfront or spread over instalments. It's ideal for international tenants, students, the self-employed or anyone new to renting in the UK, and the application is done online in minutes.
Happy to talk either option through with you. 😊
👤 ABOUT THE OWNER & MANAGEMENT
This flat is owned by a private landlord, and I look after it on his behalf as his property consultant — viewings, day-to-day management, maintenance and tenant communications all come through me. I take a hands-on, personal approach — responsive, fair, and genuinely care about my tenants' well-being. Not the absent-landlord type. Happy to chat through any questions before you commit.
📲 Message me to arrange a viewing or ask anything you'd like to know.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
