As part of this process, we will undertake: • A credit check to ensure each applicant does not have any adverse credit such as CCJs (County Court Judgements).

• An affordability assessment to ensure applicants income will sufficiently cover the rental payments.

• To pass the affordability check, each applicants gross annual basic income (including benefits and pensions) must be at least 30 times the monthly rental amount e.g.

If the rent is £500 pcm, applicants would need to earn £15,000 as an annual pension or basic salary (excluding commission/bonus) before tax or other deductions were made.

• Each applicants affordability is assessed individually against the criteria. • Self- will require an accountants reference and should have accounts for a minimum of two years.

• Employment checks to confirm your start date, salary and if your position is permanent. • Homeownership checks (only if you are a homeowner) confirming your mortgage payments are up to date.

• A Landlord reference (if you are currently residing in rented accommodation) confirming you have abided by the terms of the lease.

This will check that the rent was paid on time and in full, there was no antisocial behaviour and the property was looked after in an appropriate manner. • Right to rent and id checks.

Applicants who are students or are unemployed/work part time and receiving benefits will require A guarantor.
