1. Proof of Identity and Right to Rent
A valid and current passport or a UK driving licence is crucial for proving your identity.

2. Character and Employment References
a. Pay Slips: Recent pay stubs (usually the last three months) provide concrete proof of your income and employment stability.
b. Employment Contract: Your employment contract, which outlines your salary and employment terms, can further strengthen your application.
c. Bank Statements: Recent bank statements, showing your financial stability, can complement your pay slips.

3. Income and Employment Status Checks
Employment and Income Documentation: Pay slips, employment contracts, bank statements, and open banking can all help demonstrate your financial stability.

For self-employed individuals, the rental application process can be slightly different, as you’ll need to provide additional documentation to prove your income and financial stability. Here are the key documents and information required:

Business Financial Statements: Self-employed tenants should provide business financial statements, including profit and loss statements and balance sheets for the last two to three years. These documents demonstrate your business’s financial health and your personal income.

Tax Returns: Self-assessment tax returns for the past two to three years are essential to confirm your income and tax obligations. These returns should show your total income and any deductions or expenses.

Bank Statements: Recent business and personal bank statements can offer insight into your financial stability. These documents should be up-to-date and clearly show your income and expenses.

Business References: References from clients or business partners can help validate the stability of your self-employed income. These references should confirm your work ethics and reliability.

Accountant’s Letter: A letter from your accountant can provide further validation of your financial stability and the accuracy of your financial documents. Landlords may request this to ensure your financial statements are credible.

Business Registration Documents: Proof of your business’s legal registration, such as your Companies House registration or self-employment registration, is essential for verifying your self-employed status.

Self-employed tenants should be prepared to present a comprehensive picture of their financial situation, including both business and personal financial documents. These documents help landlords assess your ability to meet your rental obligations as a self-employed individual.

Tenants need to have a payment method and a valid bank account located in the UK to rent a flat as the payments for every agreed period (month, week, quarter etc) must be performed from that account.

Security deposit.

This is to cover any damage or defaults on the rent during your tenancy. It’ll be protected by a security deposit protection scheme, and you should get it back after the tenancy ends. The deposit should be no more than 5 weeks rent, although it can be up to 6 weeks rent for properties with a total rent of over £50,000 a year.

Rent in advance.
You’ll usually pay your first month’s rent plus the Holding deposit in advance of starting the tenancy.

On the day that your rental contract starts we will arrange a Move-In appointment with the Host who will then give you the keys. They will also take a video-inventory of the property condition on the day you move in before giving you the keys.
