I have recently signed a tenancy agreement (England) and have now decided I do not wish to live there. My guarantor has not yet signed their guarantor agreement. Does this make my tenancy agreement void? Also if I do not pay the rent does this make myself or my guarantor liable?

    Did you actually move there? The terms of the agreement matter, at least those referring to the guarantor. I wish you elaborated on the issue, since one would need to make assumptions which might not be applicable to your situation.

No. At most, it makes it voidable by the landlord if the landlord doesn't want to enter into a lease unless you have a guarantee (assuming you have delivered your signed copy to the landlord or the landlord's agent, merely signing it is not effective until the signature is delivered).

Also if I do not pay the rent does this make myself or my guarantor liable?

A guarantor can't be held liable without a signature under the statute of frauds. But, you could be if you signed and delivered the lease to the landlord and the landlord didn't decline to accept you as a tenant for lack of a guarantor.
