• Application For Tenancy

  • Application and Referencing Process

    All applicants are required to complete this form in full, ensuring that each section is completed with as much detail as possible.

    Following our initial review, and subject to the Landlord’s provisional approval (pending satisfactory referencing), applicants will be required to pay the Holding Deposit. Upon receipt of the Holding Deposit, the applicant’s name and email address will be provided to our appointed referencing partners, Legal for Landlords and Propoly.

    Once your details have been submitted, you will receive an email and text message from the referencing company containing a secure link through which the tenancy referencing process must be completed online. The information requested during this stage will closely reflect the details provided in this application form.

    As part of the referencing process, the referencing company will contact your current Landlord or Letting Agent, as well as your employer, in order to obtain the necessary references. It is therefore essential that all contact details supplied in this form are accurate and up to date.

    Please note that the speed at which you complete the online forms and provide the required documentation will directly affect how quickly your referencing can be progressed.

    Each prospective tenant is required to complete a separate application form.
