Tenant Information

Application Process

To afford a property you will have to proof affordability, this means that you will need an income of 2.5 times the annual rent.

Referencing and Right to Rent Checks – You will be asked to complete an application before referencing can be undertaken, you should also provide an original photographic Identification (e.g., passport, National ID card, VISA, resident permit, driving licence) and Proof of Residence (e.g., original utility bill, council tax bill. You will also be asked for 3 months old bank statements, if you have any queries relating to this, please speak to the branch you are dealing with.

You should be aware that the need for a guarantor may not become apparent until your referencing (including references for any joint tenants) has been completed. Where a guarantor is required, the guarantor must be able to prove affordability (3 times the annual rent), they will need to complete an application form and provide photographic identification and proof of residence.

Referencing will cover a check against the credit file and public records of the individual, an Anti-Money Laundering check, confirmation of employment and salary details, confirmation of previous tenancy details, right to rent checks, reporting the results of all those checks to your prospective landlord to see if your application is acceptable.
