Hi, not sure if anyone will know but thought it would be worth asking.
We have been searching for a new rental property for a while and kept missing out as they were going so quickly, we were advised by all estate agents to hand our notice in as we would then be more desirable so we have and now need to be out by the 5th August, with a view of moving at the end of July. No problem or so we thought have found the perfect house and we are viewing it tomorrow, we called them this afternoon to check the details of deposit, admin fees and guarantor fees, and have had a nasty shock. Apparently not everyone accepts guarantors anymore and the lady was unsure whether we would be accepted as it depends on which company they use for their referencing (though I would have thought she would of known?!) We need a guarantor as we have a poor credit history (with no hope of ever improving it given the current financial situation) but have never defaulted on our rent, my m-i-l is our guarantor and could more than afford to cover our rent if the need arose. Am now terrified that we will not be accepted and will end up homeless, has anyone had a similar situation or heard of guarantors not being accepted anymore?
