Do you need a guarantor?
Without a UK rental guarantor, most landlords and agents will require you to pay the full year's rent upfront. We have partnered with Housing Hand who can provide you with a certificate of rental guarantee.
* Please note that additional charges apply for this service.
1. CANCELLATION BY YOU - 14 DAY COOLING OFF PERIOD
If you choose to cancel your booking with us, you have 14 calendar days after receiving the original Accommodation Offer to do so to get a full refund of the Holding Deposit paid.
If you have made your booking less than 14 days before your scheduled check-in date, you may cancel your booking until the earlier of (a) 14 days after receipt of the Accommodation Offer email and (b) the date you actually check-in.
You may cancel your booking by sending an email to the relevant Accommodation Office email address listed on the individual sites. We will refund your Holding Deposit within 7 calendar days of cancellation.
