Smooth, well-communicated process thanks to Yusuf
Yusuf Islam made the whole Housing Hand guarantor process smooth from start to finish. He kept me updated at every stage, answered my questions quickly, and helped sort out the paperwork with my accommodation provider without any hassle. I'd recommend the service, to any student who needs a guarantor sorted before moving to the UK

Extremely rude customer service support…
Extremely rude customer service support that treated me with no consideration or care. Customer agent repeating the same line over and over despite me asking another question. Even making extremely rude comments without them obviously not knowing anyone’s personal circumstances. Housing hand has ignored my refund request now for over a month. I keep sending emails and they simply ignore them. Customer service and contact emails very badly structured and or monitored. I will simply avoid this company for the rest of my time renting. I advice you to do the same.

Hi Sergio,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We understand that navigating the rental process can be a stressful experience, and we are truly sorry to hear that your recent interactions did not reflect the high level of care and supportive service we aim to provide.
We take all comments regarding our customer support and communication very seriously. We have fully reviewed the phone calls and written communications on your file. While our team provided the necessary guidance during these interactions, we want to ensure every applicant feels valued, and we will be using your feedback directly to train our staff and improve our service.
To clarify where things stand with your account, we can confirm that your application is unfortunately unable to move forward. While our £20 fee is typically non-refundable as stated during the application process, we want to support you through this transition. As a one-off gesture because your application was unsuccessful, we have processed a full refund of this fee for you. This refund will take 1–5 business days to clear, depending on your bank account.
We wish you the absolute best, and we sincerely hope the rest of your rental journey goes safely and smoothly.
Best wishes,
Housing Hand

Malicious beaurocracy almost made me homeless
My housemate used this service, we were eventually (after almost 2 weeks of chasing) able to use this service but our issues were only resolved after essentially harassing the finance and complaints department and getting our estate agent to do the same. I was almost homeless because of this company's beaurocracy, despite the fact that he had paid upfront. The folks on the phone were very kind but seemingly powerless to actually help us at all beyond filing to make an issue 'urgent' on the day I was moving which then took 8 more hours, which doesnt seem very urgent to me. In these 8 hours, everything I owned had to be placed in the new home's front garden as we were not able to get keys until housing hand were able to get ONE SIGNATURE, which took 8 HOURS (and 2 weeks). Ridiculous and appauling incompetence.

Hi Phoebe,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how stressful it must have been to face delays at such an important time, especially when you were trying to move into your new home.
We understand how upsetting it would have been to wait for your application to be completed while your move was delayed. Although our team worked to prioritise your case, it is clear that the process took much longer than it should have, and we are sorry for the impact this had on you.
We would like the opportunity to look into what happened and better understand the delays you experienced. Please contact our Customer Service team at customerservice@housinghand.co.uk with your full name and application reference number. We will review your case thoroughly and discuss our findings with you.

Rude & Incompetent Customer Support
Extremely rude customer service support that treated me with no consideration or care. Left me running around like a headless chicken trying to get hold of the appropriate members of their team. Late responses on everything that I asked of them to the point where I was ringing way too often to even get a response about my application status on anything I did. Hung up on by customer support staff for no reason several times and basically told off by the team for following instructions that they gave me.

Delayed Response
They delay the signing of the guarantor deed until last minute, causing unnecessary stress. Yes, the application part is easy, but actually waiting for them to become your guarantor is not. Their customer service is also not that great, giving vague answers as well as responding after multiple business days. I would say to use another service but I don’t know any other ones.
