4. Application approval
Once we have received your completed application and fee we will contact the landlord for his acceptance, prior to carrying out credit referencing. If the landlord accepts the application, we will request a credit reference for you which takes up to 72 hours for a response.
Once a satisfactory credit reference has been obtained, Tenants Insurance (to cover the Landlords fixtures and fittings) will be requested and a moving in date will be agreed. Additionally, the amount of rent and deposit will be confirmed to you.
Occasionally you may need the help of a guarantor but this is dependent on the results of the credit reference.
5. Moving in
On the agreed moving in date, the tenant will visit the appropriate office to sign and collect keys for the property. Happy renting!
