Important Variation to Understand
Guarantor policies can vary by property.
- While some accommodation providers may accept parents living abroad, others may strictly require a UK-based guarantor for their property.
- A few properties may also ask for additional documents, such as proof of income or identification from the guarantor.
- If students cannot arrange a guarantor, accommodation providers ask them to pay the entire rent in advance instead of in instalments.
- It’s always important to check all guarantor-related rules with your accommodation provider for your desired property before booking.
Practical Step-by-Step Guidance
Before booking, students should:
- Check if the property allows parents or others to be international guarantors
- Confirm what documents and details the guarantor will need to provide
- Check if the desired property allows for instalment plans
- Ask the provider clearly if an upfront payment is required without a guarantor
- Read the guarantor terms and property terms carefully before booking
This will help you avoid confusion later.
Key Responsibilities to Remember
Not all accommodation providers require a UK-based guarantor. Some properties also accept international guarantors, including parents living abroad. Make sure to check the guarantor-related terms carefully before you book so you can plan your payments and documents properly.
