Reference Checks and Credit Worthiness
We will also carry out employment checks, affordability checks, previous lender and landlord references and proof of address history, usually a minimum of 3 years.
All applicants will be subject to a credit check carried out by a 3rd party agency to check for CCJs and IVAs. Applicants will need to provide proof of an income of at least 2.5 x annual rent.
Applicants will require a guarantor who is working and able to provide proof of an income 3x the annual rent .
Holding Deposit
A holding deposit equivalent to at least 1 weeks rent will be required to reserve the property while referencing checks are being carried out. With the tenants' consent this holding deposit will be refunded against the first months rent. The holding deposit can be retained if the applicant provides false or misleading information, fails Right to Rent checks, withdraws from the property or fails to take reasonable steps to enter into the tenancy.
In accordance with the Tenant Fees Act applicants will be required to enter into the tenancy agreement no more than 15 days after paying the holding deposit. Failure to do so for any of the afore mentioned reasons may result in you losing your holding deposit. An extension to the deadline may be entered into if agreed in writing by all parties.
Right to Rent Checks
By law, Right to Rent checks must be carried and as such will be required to provide proof of ID and address in accordance with Home Office guidelines. More information can be found at:
