Do I need a UK guarantor?

Not when you book through HeyStudent. The deposit is held by us and released to the host after move-in, so most hosts skip the UK guarantor requirement.

How early should I book for September intake?

Earlier than most countries. London and Manchester listings disappear by May–June. Start searching as soon as you get your offer.

Is the deposit protected like under the Tenancy Deposit Scheme?

Your deposit is held in HeyStudent escrow and released to the host after move-in, giving you the same practical protection.

Can I book without a UK bank account or NI number?

Yes. You pay through HeyStudent from any country and currency — no UK bank account needed to secure the room.
