tenant reference

If you have been self-employed for less than 12 months, it is unlikely you will be offered a tenancy. If you have been self-employed for longer than 12 months you must provide us with a copy of your most recent SA302 form which is a summary of your income that has been reported to HMRC or your most recent SA100 Self Assessment tax return. We are unable to accept bank statements as proof of income. Still not answered your question? We love questions so fire it at us using the contact details here

The details provided by the applicant’s employer do not match favourably with the details provided by the applicant on their application form e.g. employer says applicant’s salary is less than what the applicant put on their application form; the applicant has provided their estimated salary including overtime and bonuses and the applicant’s employer has provided the applicants basic (contracted) salary.

Please provide details of your new employment. Details of your employment before the start of your tenancy cannot be used in any affordability assessment.

Always check your credit files before applying for a tenancy to minimise the risk of rejection. You have a right to see your credit files for £2 but can do it for free and should do it regularly. Check EVERY detail; people have had applications rejected because an unused (but not cancelled) mobile contract’s address had not been updated after a house move so be vigilant. Look out for entries on your record that aren’t yours – they may be a sign of ID fraud. More information on how to check your full credit report for free can be found…

Yes – regardless of your nationality, if you have not lived in the UK continuously for at least the last 12 months, you will not have sufficient credit history to verify your credit worthiness so your application for a tenancy would be declined.

No – Effective 1st May 2026, under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 the maximum rent a landlord or agent can legally require in advance is capped at one month’s rent. Still not answered your question? We love questions so fire it at us using the contact details here
