Affordability

Review view your finances and assess what deposit and monthly rental level you can afford before looking for a property.

Renting with pets

Be honest about your intention to rent with a pet and make sure you can provide your potential landlord with as much information as possible. Once you have permission to rent with your pet, we will ensure that the terms are written into your contract to prevent future misunderstandings. 

Guarantors

If you are a student or unemployed you will need a guarantor. You may also require a guarantor should your income be short of the required figure. To determine this, check that your annual salary is at least 30 times the monthly rent. For example, a rent of £500pcm would require a minimum of £15,000 annual salary. A guarantor will need to complete an application form and be referenced before they can be considered.

Tenants Holding Deposit

We ask you to pay one week’s rent as a Holding Deposit, in line with the Tenant Fees Act 2019 (England only). This is to reserve a property. Please Note: this will be withheld if any relevant person (including any guarantor(s) withdraw from the tenancy, fail a Right-to-Rent check, provide materially significant false or misleading information, or fail to sign their tenancy agreement (and / or Deed of Guarantee) within 15 calendar days (or other Deadline for Agreement as mutually agreed in writing).

Application

When you find a home that suits your needs we’ll ask you to complete a simple application form. Anyone who is over the age of 18 will be asked to fill out an application form. Please ensure that all sections of the form are completed, we will then process your references quickly.

Rent

You will also be asked to complete a direct debit/standing order mandate for the monthly rental payments. This will be payable each month in advance and will be collected on a set date as stated in the tenancy agreement.

It is also important to remember to keep paying your rent, on time and in full.

Timescales

It usually takes a minimum of 7 working days before you will be able to move into your property. Although every effort will be made by all parties to accommodate your moving date, unfortunately, no guarantees can be made.
