Professional Guarantors: Pros And Cons

Professional guarantor services are becoming increasingly popular in the UK rental market. They give tenants access to housing without relying on friends or family, while landlords benefit from added security. But like any solution, professional guarantors have both advantages and disadvantages that tenants and landlords should consider.

The Advantages of Professional Guarantors

One of the main benefits of using a professional guarantor is accessibility. Tenants without UK-based relatives or those with limited credit history can still secure a rental property. For landlords, professional guarantors provide confidence that rent obligations will be met under the tenancy agreement, reducing the risk of arrears.

“Tenanta makes renting fairer for everyone. Tenants gain access to properties they might otherwise miss out on, while landlords enjoy greater security and peace of mind.’’

The Potential Downsides

Professional guarantor services are not free. Tenants usually pay a fee for the guarantee, which adds to the overall cost of moving into a property. Additionally, tenants remain fully responsible for their rent. If arrears occur, the guarantor will step in with the landlord but seek repayment from the tenant afterwards.

Balancing Pros and Cons

For many tenants, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. A guarantor fee can be more affordable than paying six or twelve months’ rent upfront. For landlords, the reassurance of working with a professional guarantor service reduces stress and ensures smoother tenancy management.

Why Tenanta Stands Out

Tenanta provides a balanced solution that respects both tenant rights and landlord interests. By offering clear agreements, transparent pricing, and nationwide support, Tenanta ensures professional guarantor services remain accessible, fair, and trusted across the UK rental sector.
