Thank you for choosing one of our houses to be your next home

We have a simple tenancy application process which can be completed entirely online using your smart phone, tablet or computer. The first step is to complete the relevant online application forms available below. If you have all the information available, it should take you less than 15 minutes to complete the form.

PLEASE DO NOT PAY A HOLDING DEPOSIT / FEE TO OPENRENT OR ANY OTHER AGENT.  Should we require a holding deposit we will provide our bank details for direct bank transfer.

You should complete your application form as soon as possible because properties remain on the market until we receive the completed application, supporting documents and the tenancy agreement is signed.

Completing the form does not commit you to taking up a tenancy it simply provides us with the information to perform the necessary checks and progress your application.

After you submit the form and copies of your other evidence including passport photo page, we will then perform the necessary checks:

  • ID check and government Right To Rent check
  • Existing landlord reference (if applicable)
  • Employer reference to verify your employment and income (if applicable)
  • Income / affordability check (proof of income at very least 2 x rent)
  • Credit check
Our properties are in high demand so in order to avoid disappointment and someone else taking the property, it is important that you all required information is provided quickly and that you ensure that your employer / current landlord reply promptly to reference requests.  Once you have submitted your application form to us we recommend that you speak to your employer / landlord to let them know reference requests will be mailed to them and ask them to reply as soon as they receive them.  Delays with references being returned or in signing the contract once uploaded could mean they you lose the property to someone else who has done things quicker.
 
We want our tenants to be able to sustain long term tenancies and we don’t want you to be in “rent poverty” where you don’t have enough money left to pay for food and other essentials so we check that you can realistically afford to rent your chosen property.  To pass the affordability check we usually require your gross monthly income (before tax and other deductions) to be at least 2 or 3 times  the rent.  The level we require depends on the rent so as a guide :
 
Rent Gross Income Required
up to £400 £1,200 +
£500 £1,300 +
£600 £1,400 +
£700 £1,500 +

If your gross monthly income (before tax and other deductions) is less than this then we may still be able to accept you as a tenant if you are able to provide a suitable guarantor.  We normally always require a guarantor for student tenants.  Speak to your landlord if this is the case.

If you are applying as a couple then we will use your joint income so for example if 1 person earns £1,000 and the other £750 per month then we would use £1,750 as your joint income for the affordability check. 

We will usually process your completed application the same or next day (unless additional information is required) and email our the reference requests to your current landlord and employer (if applicable).  Depending on how quickly your landlord/employer respond, we can then issue an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (see sample at the bottom of this page) which you can also preview and sign online.
 

Depending on which property you select we are able to offer minimum 6 month or 12 month contracts. We are almost always happy to extend it for tenants who wish to continue living with us longer term, just speak to your Landlord about this. We have numerous tenants who have chosen to rent their homes from us for many years.  Our initial contract term for Students is 11 months (1 Sept to 31 July) and this can then be extended for further years if required.

What documents or information do I need ?

 

In order to successfully complete the relevant application form you will need the following details :

  • Your bank account details (Sort code, account number)
  • Current and previous addresses (for last 3 years)
  • Current Landlord’s email address
  • Passport (or ID card) and/or driving licence details (if any)
  • National insurance number [ Not required for students ]
  • Your employer’s details, including manager or HR email address [ Not required for students ]
  • 3 months bank current account statements [ Not required for students ]
  • 3 months pay slips [ Not required for students ]

We suggest you have all this information to hand before starting to complete the application form.

To be classified as a student you will need proof that you are attending a full time course of multi-year duration at the University.  As a student you then won’t need proof of employment / income for yourself but you will need a guarantor who can provide this.
