Rental Fees

In order to proceed with this property the applicant is required to pay 1 weeks rent (?) to commence referencing checks. On the day the tenancy commences the tenant pays the balance of the first months rent (?) and the damage deposit (?)

Tenant Referencing Criteria:

ML Estates will carry out referencing checks on all applicants over the age of 18 wishing to move into a rental property. We use a company called Let Alliance who carry out this referencing on our behalf. Let Alliance will check three things:1. Does the applicant have a satisfactory credit status? Let Alliance will perform a full credit check for any current, historic, or pending adverse credit such as CCJs, bankruptcies or insolvencies.2. Has the applicant been an acceptable tenant in their current property? Let Alliance will carry out a landlord reference (if you are currently residing in a rented property) confirming you have abided by the terms of the lease. This will check that the rent was paid on time and in full, there was no antisocial behaviour, and the property was looked after in an appropriate manner. 3. Can they afford the rent? Let Alliance will confirm regular income payments up to the last 12 months to establish a regular income via Open Banking. If Open Banking is not provided, Let Alliance will verify the applicant s income through a number of sources such as references from employers, accountants or supporting documentation that we can use to validate an income. We can also obtain and assess documentation in place of a reference, or as proof of independent means. Unemployed / Housing Benefit ApplicantsAs part of our referencing process, we ask applicants whether they have any additional income to support their application. We will seek proof to verify the amount. The below benefits can be considered towards an application. Housing Benefit Employment and Support Allowance Income Support Carers Allowance Child Benefit Tax Credits Guardian s Allowance Disability Living Allowance / Personal Independence Payment Universal CreditAs proof of these incomes, we can either accept the applicant s most recent 3 months bank statements or their most recent award letter for each of their benefits. If the income from the benefits and other income sources does not meet the minimum required earnings or cannot be confirmed, then a guarantor will be required. Where an applicant is in receipt of universal credit, the whole amount will be considered if evidenced by the last 3 months bank statements showing the payments, or evidence of their payments taken from their online government portal.Retired ApplicantsIf an applicant is retired, Let Alliance will obtain proof of the pension payments via a pension statement, a bank statement or an annual P60. Private pension, state pension and pension credits can all be taken into consideration for a retired applicant. We can also use Open Banking to verify this income.Applicants who are moving to the UK from OverseasIf an applicant has lived in the UK for less than 6 months, we are unable to complete an Express Reference, as the applicant will have no UK credit file. We can only complete an Ultimate Reference which will verify UK based income and a current landlord reference (if applicable) If an applicant is relocating to the UK for employment or beginning a new position in a future employment, Let Alliance will obtain proof of UK based income via an employment reference or a UK based employment contract. If the applicant is earning enough to meet the required minimum income, they can be acceptable for tenancy providing that their other references are satisfactory. If an applicant is moving to the UK and has no confirmed employment lined up, it will likely result in Let Alliance requesting that a guarantor is obtained.Guarantors All guarantors must be referenced on an Ultimate Reference. Express References are not available for a guarantor. All guarantors must meet the below criteria: Have a UK credit file and be based in the UK. A guarantor can have one disclosed CCJ of up to ?300 to be acceptable. Have an Income to Rent ratio of 3 or more. We cannot accept guarantors where their income consists of benefits.
