Becoming a Tenant

Each prospective tenant must complete an application form.

Your Property Manager will email this document to you.

A holding deposit of one weeks rent is payable upon receipt of this application form.

When the holding deposit is paid the property is reserved for you while we carry out our checks. The holding deposit will be deducted from the first rent payment.

Landlord: If you have rented a property before you will be asked to provide contact details of your previous/current landlord or agent so we can write to them for a reference.

Character: If you do not have a previous landlord you will be asked to complete this section of the application form with details of the person we can contact for a character reference.

Employer:  If you are working or starting new employment you will be asked to provide the details of your employer. This is to confirm current or future employment.

Students: You will be asked to provide contact details of the person we can write to in order to confirm your student status.

If you are an undergraduate you will also be asked to provide details of a UK based guarantor.

In order to establish affordability we need to carry out financial checks.  For this we ask for you to provide us with your last 6 months bank statements (UK or international bank account).  Once affordability has been confirmed all bank statements are disposed of.

The Immigration Act 2014 Section 22 requires that all landlords check that every adult tenant/occupier has the ‘Right to Rent’.

In order to comply with this legislation you will need to bring your passport (where applicable) into the office before the start of your tenancy or provide us with a right to rent share code. We are not able to accept scanned copies of these documents.

Please note that if we cannot verify your ‘Right to Rent’ we will not be able to accept your application.
