Referencing helps landlords confirm that a tenant is able to afford the rent, has the legal right to rent in the UK and has a suitable rental history. It’s a standard part of the letting process and helps ensure a successful tenancy for everyone involved.

We use a trusted third-party service, Goodlord, to carry out tenant referencing. This includes checks on affordability, Right to Rent status, and a reference from your current or previous landlord or letting agent. Once complete, the information is shared with the landlord so they can make a decision.

Most tenants will need a valid photo ID for Right to Rent checks, proof of income or employment, and details for referencing, including previous landlord information if applicable. We’ll let you know exactly what’s needed once you’re ready to proceed.

There can be a number of reasons referencing may raise concerns, such as income levels or missing information. This doesn’t automatically mean you can’t rent the property; landlords may consider alternatives such as a guarantor or upfront rent. We’ll talk you through the options.

A guarantor is someone who agrees to cover the rent if a tenant is unable to pay. This is often required for students, first-time renters or those with a lower or variable income. Guarantor insurance options may also be available through providers such as Housing Hand or Your Guarantor.

A guarantor will be asked to agree to the terms set out in the tenancy agreement and confirm they’re happy to cover the rent if needed. They’ll usually need to pass by referencing themselves.

A deposit provides reassurance to the landlord and covers potential damage or unpaid rent during the tenancy. It’s a standard part of renting and helps protect both parties.

A tenancy agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms of your rental, including rent, duration, responsibilities and notice periods. All parties must agree to and sign this before the tenancy begins

Landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the structure and essential systems of the property. If damage is caused by a tenant, they may be responsible for the cost of repairs. Our team is always on hand to help report and manage maintenance issues.

This will depend on the terms of your agreement. Some tenancies include break clauses, while others require you to remain for the full fixed term. We’ll explain your options clearly.

If you’re experiencing financial difficulty, contact us as soon as possible. If a guarantor is named on the tenancy, they may be required to cover the rent, but early communication is always key.

Except in an emergency, landlords must give appropriate notice before entering the property, in line with the tenancy agreement and legal requirements.

Accidents happen; the best thing to do is let us know as soon as possible. We’ll advise on the next steps and help get the issue resolved quickly.

Yes, your deposit will be protected in a government-approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme for the duration of your tenancy. When you move out, the property will be assessed and your deposit returned, minus any agreed deductions if necessary.
