Which Student Accommodation Offers Monthly Payments Without a UK Guarantor?

Student Query

Hi, I am Mohit Manshu, and I am an international student joining the University of Stirling. I want to book a studio room, but as an international student, one of my main concerns is that I don't have a UK guarantor. Does student accommodation allow students to pay rent per month without a UK guarantor? If not, do I have to pay for my accommodation upfront? All at once? Are there any third-party guarantor services that I can opt for? What are my options?

Goal

To find student accommodation with monthly payment options without a UK guarantor.

Constraints
  • Does not have a UK guarantor
  • Wants to pay rent in monthly instalments instead of upfront
  • Looking for a studio near the University of Stirling
  • Unsure whether international or third-party guarantors are accepted
  • Wants flexible payment options as an international student

Answer Summary

Yes, students can book a studio room without a UK guarantor. If the property accepts an international guarantor, so students can make their parents living in another country act as guarantor. Students can also opt for a third-party guarantor service if the accommodation provider accepts one. If none of these option are available, the accommodation provider requires the student to pay  the full year's rent upfront instead which bypasses the guarantor requirement entirely. In Mohit's case, he picked Riverside Quay, which accepts international guarantors. So one of his parents can act as a guarantor in this case. With UniAcco, students can also opt for a third-party guarantor service, so they can pay rent in monthly instalments.
