We carry out thorough credit checks and referencing through a dedicated reference agency. You will be required to fill out an application form (one per tenant) and provide us with a copy of some photo ID. (UK driving license or passport) and proof of address (e.g. recent utility bill). The application form includes details of a previous landlord (if you have one) and your employer in order to contact them to obtain a reference. Making sure you provide as much information as possible could help to speed the process up. NB - All adults (over 18) will be required to pay a non-refundable tenancy set up fee of £170.00 for one person and £220.00 for two people payable at the point of application i.e. after they have viewed a property and have decided to complete application forms. Contact Us for more details.
It is important to fully inform us of your personal situation before the application process begins. A poor credit history or unsatisfactory references could result in the failure of your application and the forfeiture of your set up fee.
If your checks and references are deemed to be satisfactory, all that there is left to do is arrange a move in date with you and issue you with a draft Assured Shorthold Tenancy contract to read through.
