Affordability
It helps to review your finances to work out what deposit and monthly rental level you can afford prior to looking for a property. For a quick affordability check, multiply the rent amount x 30 and this will give you the minimum annual income needed.
Renting with pets
Be open and flexible about your intention to rent with a pet and make sure you can provide us with as much information as possible.
Reassure your landlord by being ready to potentially offer a larger deposit to cover any pet-related damages to the property, as well as having the property professionally cleaned when your tenancy ends.
Guarantors
If you are a student or unemployed you may need a guarantor. You may also require a guarantor should your income fall short of the required figure. Each guarantor will need to complete an application form and be referenced before a tenancy can be considered. The guarantor will also have to sign the deed of guarantee before the tenancy can proceed.
Advance Payment
An advanced payment of a month’s rent and the deposit must be paid before the keys can be released. Ideally, payments should be made by bank transfer.
Tenants Holding Deposit
We will 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.
