Holding Deposit

To secure a rental property while references are undertaken, we require a holding deposit equivalent to one week's rent. This deposit reserves the property for up to 15 calendar days (unless agreed otherwise), is added to the full tenancy deposit (five weeks total) upon successful completion of tenancy documentation, and may be withheld if an applicant (or guarantor) withdraws, fails a Right-to-Rent check, provides false or misleading information, or does not sign the tenancy agreement within the 15-day period.

Referencing & Affordability Checks

All applicants aged 18 or over must undergo referencing, which includes: Credit check – to ensure there is no adverse credit history (e.g. CCJs), affordability Assessment – applicants must earn at least 30x the monthly rent in gross annual basic income where income includes salary, pensions, or benefits (excluding commission / bonuses), employment verification confirming start date, salary, and that the role is permanent (self employment requires an accountant's reference and should have accounts for a minimum of two years), landlord reference for current renters to confirm adherence to lease terms and responsible property care, and Right-to-Rent checks to validate each applicant's legal eligibility to rent in the UK.
