Tenants Guide to Renting

Once you have decided that you would like to rent a property through us contact us immediately. We will ask you to pay a holding deposit in order for us to stop marketing and suspend viewings.

​

In order for London & Essex to accept you on behalf of the landlord, we will need a certain amount of paperwork from you in order to run credit and right to rent checks.

​

If you are not confident you will get a good credit score, we may still accept if you have a suitable working guarantor.

As standard we require;

• copy of passport or photographic ID

• bank statements, last 3 months

• 3 months wage slips

• utility bill at current address

• national insurance number

• information to obtain references, landlord, employment and character

In other circumstances we may need to see;

• information on Universal Credit and Income Support

• Accountancy letters if self employed

• if using guarantor we would need them to come into office to sign paperwork also
