You may require a guarantor if your earnings do not meet the affordability criteria, or if is requested by the landlord.

This should be somebody in full time employment, with a clean credit history and able to meet the affordability criteria. They will also be required complete referencing and provide photo ID, utility bill and 3 months payslips.

With a let only property we will arrange everything for you up to the lease signing. At the lease signing you will be provided your landlords contact details for future payments and any repairs. Your first months rental and deposit will be transferred to the landlord. The Landlord will arrange the transfer of your deposit to the chosen tenancy deposit scheme provider. With a fully managed property all contact and payments will be through us and we will transfer your deposit to the chosen tenancy deposit scheme provider.
