What you get

Three reasons homedrops picked Holdfast as our rent guarantor partner.

No family ask

For tenants without a UK-based homeowner who can guarantee them. Holdfast guarantees up to 12 months of rent on your behalf.

Landlord-accepted

Holdfast is recognised by homedrops landlords as equivalent to a UK guarantor. No back-and-forth on whether it counts.

One-off fee, no surprises

You pay once at the start of the tenancy. No monthly subscription, no renewal fee unless you sign a new tenancy.

Placeholder pricing for the smoke test. Final pricing settles once the partner contract is signed.
