Quick Reference Guide

References

On behalf of the landlord, an independent referencing agency undertakes reference verification and credit checks on each applicant. We forward to the referencing agency completed referencing documentation which will require details of your employer, bank account, any former landlords, and a character reference. This can usually take around 48 hours.

Guarantor

In some cases professional applicants may require a suitable guarantor willing to accept and underwrite any rent and tenancy liabilities before the application can continue. Guarantors will need to meet the same reference and credit check requirements as the applicant.

Identification

Proof of identification will also be required. When you produce the required documents to our office, photocopies will be taken, and the originals returned to you before you leave. Do not send originals, they cannot be processed in your absence.

Suitable identification documents are: A full and current Passport or a current valid Photo Driving License.

Damage Deposit

Unless advised otherwise, a Damage Deposit (or 'bond'), normally equal one month's rent + £50 up to £750.00pcm and + £100.00 when over £750.00pcm, is payable upon receipt of satisfactory references. This deposit will either be passed directly to the Landlord, or where we are managing the property, it will be held within a Government Approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme until the tenancy ends.

At the end of the tenancy we will inspect properties we are managing to assess any damages and appropriate deductions.
