  • Increasing number of positive reviews online
  • Tenant guarantors are acceptable

Con's 👎

  • Annual service fees are charged

The basics ✍️

  • Maximum age of 70 for both you and your guarantor
  • You and your guarantor need to be over 21
  • For financially linked applicants, you and your guarantor need to be able to afford the loan in your own right, with separate income and expenditure.
  • For homeowner guarantors and applicants, there must be no mortgage arrears for last six months
  • All applicants and guarantors must be UK Residents
  • You will need a valid UK bank account

We always suggest comparing loans and researching other lenders before applying

My Verdict

By Jon Edward

Rating - 61.4 / 100

A reputable and well-established lender, Guarantor My Loan offers an excellent level of service and an affordable APR.

  • As their online reviews, their reputation is positive and they stand out from the crowd by offering peer to peer lender which allows a spouse to act as a guarantor.
  • There are reports of above-average times for the processing of applications which can be an issue should funds be needed quickly.

However, with no hidden fees or charges and the promise of one month’s instalment as a cashback option upon full and timely completion of repayments, Guarantor My Loan is a company well worth considering.
