What is a Guarantor

A guarantor should be a relative or close friend who is in a secure financial position and has lived in the UK for at least five years. They should be able to demonstrate sufficient income to be able to afford the rental of the property on top of their own personal monthly outgoings.

It is essential that they understand their obligations before agreeing to be a guarantor and are prepared to sign a Guarantor Agreement – sample below:
