Here is some information about the details you will need to provide to secure your home. Thanks to our new digital systems; signing up with Ancells is easy and all documents can be uploaded and signed remotely.
You will need:
– References: an employment and character reference (landlord, agent, colleague, solicitor.)
– If you are self-employed, we require an accountant reference in addition to a character reference (landlord, agent, colleague, solicitor.)
– Students will require 2x character references (landlord, letting agent, tutor or employer.)
NB: Every tenant will be asked to supply the name of a UK based homeowner guarantor and pass the ‘Right to Rent Checks’ with valid photo ID. Thank you.
If you have any questions about the above or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us.
