You need to include a named person from university or other organisation in your guarantor information. You can use your university or organisation address, and the person must accept the terms and conditions as guarantor.
Who is the witness?
A witness will be a person who is present at the signing of a legal document. He will see the authenticity of the document and personally know the signing of the agreement. The date at which the witness and guarantor signs the contract will be the same. A witness can be anyone over the age of 18 but not your family member if you are booking England property.
