Tenants

All adults who intend to occupy the property (aged over 18 years) must be named on the tenancy agreement & are required to complete an application form and provide referencing paperwork. Referencing paperwork must be supplied within 7 days of the application form being completed.

Applicants are required to provide:

• photographic ID (passport or driving licence)
• proof of their current address (utility bill, bank statement or driving licence)

Applicants are also required to provide all of the following that are appropriate to their circumstances:

• recent landlord/letting agent reference stating tenancy dates, monthly rent due, details of any arrears, a statement on the condition of the property during or at the end of the tenancy and a statement on whether there were any breaches of the tenancy agreement;
• employer/pension provider/accountant reference on headed paper stating job title, contract length and annual income;
• evidence of any state benefit entitlement;
• last 3 months of current account bank statements;
• letter from university confirming student status;
• for students funded/paid by an organisation or government, evidence of paid income or funding for living expenses;
• their UK visa (for applicants from outside the EU).

We require applicants to have an income of 2.5 times the annual rent. If an applicant does not meet the income criteria we will require them to provide a UK based guarantor or pay 6 months’ rent upfront. Guarantors are required to earn 3 times the annual rent. Guarantors are required to provide:

• photographic ID (passport or driving licence);
• proof of their current address (utility bill, bank statement or driving licence);
• employer/pension provider/accountant reference on headed paper stating job title, contract length and annual income;
• evidence of any state benefit entitlement.

Guarantors will also be required to sign a contract in which they commit to cover any outstanding amounts due from the tenant under the terms of the tenancy agreement.

We will take all reasonable steps to confirm the identity of applicants and guarantors and to verify references. We will provide the landlord with a copy of all application and referencing paperwork and seek their approval to proceed with the tenancy.

The Deposit & 1st Months rent are payable in advance of any move in. In some cases an increased pet deposit is payable.
