References
It is at the Landlords' discretion as to what they ask to see as a reference, however, the detail below should give you an idea of what to expect
-
wage slips or P60
-
employer's reference letter
-
bank statements
-
driver's licence
- previous Landlord's reference
- copy of passport (non-UK citizens)
- accountant letter(self employed)
You would not be required to produce all of these documents, the Agent/Landlord will normally ask for 2 of them depending on what is appropriate in the circumstances
Some Agents/Landlords require references be administered by a 'specialist referencing company'. These can be expensive for the tenant as I have known the cost to vary between £30 and £200 and can take a few days to report, however, the report often forms the basis for a rent guarantee insurance policy.
To speed up the process of letting, with PascoDelta, you can present your wage slips, bank statements, employers reference or whatever, by email - enabling a quick and informed response from your prospective Landlord - with minimal delay
The original documents you then show, by way of confirmation, when you sign your Agreement - simple.
We believe on-line referencing will be the 'norm' before too long - we are just one of the first...
Inevitably, on-line referencing does not suit every Landlord or every circumstance and so is not available as an option with some properties.
