MUST KNOW BEFORE RENTING A PROPERTY IN LONDON

Whether you are or not a resident of the UK, you must know about the paperwork needed in order to rent a property. Many of you moving first time in London and don’t know about the paperwork required for renting. Believe me, you will thank yourself for acquiring this information later.

What are the requirements for renting a property in London?

The documentation required to 
rent any property in London will be the same as they are in the rest of the UK. This is to ensure that you are who you claim to be, as well as to validate your suitability for renting property. We've covered below the documentation you'll need to rent property in the United Kingdom.

CARRY DOCUMENT FOR TENANT REFERENCING

Here in theUK, the majority of landlords will certainly require you to go through a tenant referencing process. To do so, you'll need to submit a few important documents that will determine whether or not your rent application is accepted.

EMPLOYEE REFERENCE

In employee reference, the landlord tries to investigate the legitimacy of the information you have given previously and whether or not you are employed by any employer. A reference letter from your present employment is required for this.

This is offered by your employer. Once discussed, they will provide you with the latter as well as any further information requested, such as your character and behaviour, as well as your income.

REFERENCE FROM PREVIOUS LANDLORD

A letter of recommendation from your former landlord is the second sort of reference you may require for renting property. The aim is to find your appropriateness based on the prior landlord's recommendation, your behaviour, whether you are the right person for them or not, and how you cared for the property. Both recommendation letters are essential for a rental application to be approved. You wouldn't rent your property to an uncivilized individual, thus the character reference is crucial.

EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME STATUS

You'll need to submit documents proving your employment status and income in addition to the employee reference. These are essential to demonstrate that you can afford the property's rent

FOR FULL-TIMERS

Full-time workers will be required to attach payslips from their current employer. The duration of employment can also be a checkpoint for tents. Landlords usually accept nearly 3 or 4 months of regular employment status. In order to satisfy them, that you can afford the property

SELF-EMPLOYED

Because you won't have employer payslips, being self-employed can be a little more difficult. As a result, you'll need to submit your earnings over a longer period of time, as well as a tax return that shows your earnings. Although it is up to the landlord, you may be required to submit three years of tax records.

RIGHT TO RENT

The landlord is responsible for ensuring that the renter has the legal right to rent in the UK, which is a legal requirement in the UK. They will require your passport or visa, as well as the passports or visas of anyone above the age of 18.

A national identity card, immigration status document, or other paperwork recognized by the government's Right to Rent scheme are examples of acceptable documents. Unfortunately, you will not be able to move into the property unless you can prove your entitlement to rent. If you're British or Irish but don't have a passport, you can present your birth certificate and whatever other identification you have.

CREDIT CHECKS

Yes, another check to determine if you have the financial ability to afford your rent and how you're handling your liabilities, such as loans and credit card payments, if you have any.

Not a mandatory check, this depends on you and your landlord’s understanding.

WHAT IS A GUARANTOR?

If you won’t able to satisfy your landlord then you will require a guarantor who guarantees the payments when you won’t able to make payment. This is to legally bind for liability.  In order to be a guarantor, the person needs to submit documents like identity proof, income proof, proof of residence, and relationship with the tenant.

If you are unable to satisfy your landlord, you will need a guarantor who will guarantee your payments in the situation when you are unable to do so. This is done in order to legally bind yourself to the subject of liability. To be a guarantor, the person must provide documents proving his or her identification, income, residency, and relationship with the renter.
