If an offer for tenancy is accepted Tenant referencing will be carried out, which will cover:

Verifying your credit status - No CCJ, IVA or adverse credit will be considered.

Verifying CURRENT employer - Clarifying hours of work and earnings.

We will contact current or past landlords to Clarify rent has been paid on time and take into account any other information to help us assess the suitability of your tenancy application.

We are required by law to carry out a Right to Rent check on all occupiers over the age of 18 and a YOTI right to rent check will be carried out irrespective of whether they are a tenant or a permitted occupier. This is entirely separate from tenant referencing and there is no charge for this. If you do not have a UK passport, get your right to rent share code.

Property Description DisclaimerThis is a general description of the property only, and is not intended to constitute part of an offer or contract. It has been verified by the seller(s), unless marked as 'draft'. Purplebricks conducts some valuations online and some of our customers prepare their own property descriptions, so if you decide to proceed with a viewing or an offer, please note this information may have been provided solely by the vendor, and we may not have been able to visit the property to confirm it. If you require clarification on any point then please contact us, especially if you’re traveling some distance to view. All information should be checked by your solicitor prior to exchange of contracts.

Successful buyers will be required to complete anti-money laundering and proof of funds checks. Our partner, Lifetime Legal Limited, will carry out the initial checks on our behalf. The current non-refundable cost is £80 inc. VAT per offer. You’ll need to pay this to Lifetime Legal and complete all checks before we can issue a memorandum of sale. The cost includes obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required, and includes a range of benefits. Purplebricks will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in providing these checks.
