Advice for tenants

A well-managed tenancy works best when communication is clear.

We recommend:

  • Keeping copies of important documents
  • Saving emails and messages relating to your tenancy
  • Reporting repairs as early as possible
  • Asking questions if you are unsure
  • Reading the official government guidance so you understand your rights

  • Transparent communication throughout your tenancy
  • Fully compliant processes
  • A professional, approachable team you can rely on

RIGHT TO RENT CHECKS

In accordance with the Immigration Act 2014 you will be asked to provide appropriate documents to demonstrate your Right to Rent in England. For further information, please refer to the following document: Right-to-Rent-Guidance https://www.gov.uk/check-tenant-right-to-rent-documents

We will need to see your original passport before we can progress with an application to rent a property through us as well as completing our digital ID process.  If you are unable to do this, we can accept other ID but please contact us to verify what is required.   We will require this from all proposed tenants.  We will also need to see your last three months bank statements, either in a paper copy or in a screenshot by email before we are able to progress any tenancy.

If you’re unsure about anything, just ask.
