If you are working, we will ask for a reference from your employer and payslips or bank statements. If you are in new employment, we may also ask for a UK homeowner guarantor and/or previous employment references.
If you are self-employed we will ask to see your most recent business accounts or request an accountant’s reference, we may request a UK homeowner guarantor where there is no accounts history.
If you are a student we will need a letter from your college or university to confirm you are a student there and a UK homeowner guarantor or 3 months’ rent in advance.
