Title

What is Tenant Referencing?
  • paragraph

    image cannot be displayed
    Tenant referencing is a landlord or letting agent's way of finding out and confirming information about a prospective tenant. It helps to make an informed decision on whether to rent a property to an individual (s). Referencing can help build trust that a tenant will pay their rent on time, treat the property with respect and not be a nuisance to neighbours or others. 

    Most agents will use third party organisations to conduct these checks and are therefore bound by their terms.
  • paragraph

    What's usually included?

    • You will be asked for a reference from a previous landlord. If you have had a bad experience it's best to know this upfront, it really does save time.
    • Part of the referencing will involve running a credit check. Again, if you are honest about this from the outset, firstly it saves a lot of time but also means alternatives, such as guarantors, can be discussed. If you do have adverse credit, be upfront.
    • You'll need a deposit. No agent is able to ask for more than 5 weeks upfront, so do your maths before you start the process. If you are waiting for a deposit to be returned from a previous rental, this cannot be taken into account.
    • Most referencing companies work on an affordability calculator of your household income being 30x your monthly rent. As an example, if you and a partner want to rent a property costing £1,000 per calendar month (pcm) you will need a household income of £30,000 at least.
    • You will need to supply the following documents, so having these ready will really help: Bank Statements, Passport, Visa (if necessary), Self-employed - tax returns/accounts and Proof of Residency - council tax/utility bill
  • paragraph

    The rentals market is extremely competitive at the moment so getting yourself prepared will really save you time.

    We are on hand should you need any help or advice, contact our expert.

    Buying a home? The buying process
    • paragraph

      image cannot be displayed

      FINANCE The first step is to ensure that you have the finance available to purchase. Make sure your money is accessible and talk to one of our financial advisers if you need a mortgage as they can look at the whole range of products available. Get a mortgage offer agreed in principal.

      REGISTER WITH ESTATE AGENTS Most buyers use the property portals to start their search, but registering with an agent (preferably us!) will ensure that you are informed as soon as properties are available-often a few days before they go live on the web. Indeed some properties are sold before they get to the portals.

    • paragraph

      INSTRUCT A SOLICITOR It's best to organise a solicitor before picking out your dream home. We can refer you to a good local conveyancer who will offer a free initial package. Ask for details.

      OFFER ACCEPTED Your estate agent will put both parties in touch and instruct solicitors. Give your broker/mortgage provider details of the property.

      SURVEY/VALUATION A surprising number of buyers rely on a mortgage valuation, but be aware that the lender is only interested in establishing that he is covered for the amount of mortgage that is being lent. A mortgage valuation is not a survey. We can recommend a suitable surveyor and mortgage lenders offer surveys or home buyers reports as an addition to their valuation to be carried out at the same time. This is often a cheaper way to have a survey.

      CONTRACTS HAVE EXCHANGED A deposit may be payable at this time and cleared funds need to be available on the day of exchange. The deposit is non-returnable and binds both seller and buyer.

      COMPLETION It's moving day and completion is usually between 12 and 4pm. The solicitors will release the keys once your money has arrived at the vendors solicitors bank, and will phone us so that we can release the keys.

        Really helpful
        We have been looking for a new family home as we move back to the UK after decades away.

        Would highly recommend
        Buying a house is such a stressful experience and after bad experiences in the past with other agents, White and Sons changed that. From first viewing to picking up our keys, they were wonderful and extremely personal. The bottle of Prosecco and signed card along with our new house keys was such a lovely touch that we weren't expecting. Would highly recommend.
