up-front deposit
Welcome to Skip the Deposit — the smart way to rent in the UK. Save thousands and get into your new home faster.
Partnering with letting agencies across the UK
The Problem with Deposits
Renting in the UK? You know the drill. That upfront deposit — often up to 5 weeks' rent — can be a major hurdle.
For Tenants
Instead of paying that big lump sum upfront, Skip the Deposit gives you an insurance-backed guarantee. Move in faster, keep your savings intact, and say goodbye to deposit stress.
The typical deposit can be thousands of pounds. We make renting more accessible.
For Landlords & Agents
You still have full protection — backed by a genuine insurance partner — covering claims up to the standard deposit value. No compromise on security.
Your properties remain fully protected, and you attract more tenants.
