WHAT YOU NEED

In order to rent a property, you will need the following documents:

  • ID – you will need a UK passport or driving licence and birth certificate (other forms are accepted but these are the most common) where you do not a hold a UK passport you will also be required to provide a right to Rent document i.e. Visa and a share code.

AFFORDABILITY

Affordability is worked out for working applicants at 30 x the monthly rent for example where a rent is £700per month then your annual income would need to be £21,000.

Where benefits are your main income, you will also be required to provide a Guarantor.

GUARANTORS

Where a guarantor is required, the guarantor will also need to be in receipt of an annual income that is 30 x the monthly rent. They are not required to be a homeowner, but they are required to have a good clean credit history.

Guarantor will be required to sign a deed of guarantee and will remain the guarantor on the tenancy for the full duration and until the tenancy ends and the tenant moves out.
