Once we have secured a suitable tenant the referencing process will begin. Which will include the following;

• Credit score, searching for CCJ's and general defaults (needing a minimum score of 650 in order to pass)
• Previous Landlord reference if the tenant is currently in rented accommodation ensuring that the rent was always paid on time and that property has been maintained to an acceptable standard.
• Employment reference, confirming the guaranteed income of the tenant and that the employment is on a permanent basis and unlikely to change in the near future.
• Final background and anti-fraud checks

Once the tenant has passed referencing we can confirm a move in date.
