REAL Property Group UK – T&NJ Properties
51 Mersey Street, Applicants’ supporting documentation requirements
Please note, all adults* residing at the property will normally have to be named parties to the Tenancy Agreement. Each applicant will be subject to affordability and income assessment, credit checks, identity, ‘right To rent’/immigration checks, employment and current Landlord referencing etc; adult children living at home will normally be granted a licence to occupy without any rights or obligations under the Tenancy, subject to satisfactory identity and ‘right to rent’ checks.
Please telephone us on 01482 707226 for an application form and we will email to you. A fully completed application form is required for each party to the proposed Tenancy. Please append all of the requested documentation, including the latest three months bank statements and pay slips/proof of income/earnings/pension/benefits etc. for each applicant. Please ensure that you complete all sections of the application form, providing full information and supporting documentation and return by email to tnjproperties@real.karoo.co.uk or call to let us know when everything is available. We can arrange to meet you to collect so that we can get on with processing in early course.
Please make sure that all applicants to the Tenancy sign the application forms. You should advise your Landlord, employer’s and referees that we will be contacting them in due course and authorise disclosure of information. We will not contact anybody nor carry out credit checks until we have completed affordability, identity and ‘right to rent’ checks.
In order to verify identity and confirm your ‘right to rent’ in the UK, we will require original photo ID (current Passport or Driving Licence and Birth Certificates) for all adult occupiers, 18 years of age or over, who will reside at the property, together with a utility bill or bank statement to verify names and current address of the Tenancy applicant/s. Please provide copies of documents with your application. This is a legal requirement for all property rentals in the UK and note that we will be unable to progress your application without. Please also note that we will need to verify original identity documents in your presence prior to a formal Tenancy offer.
If any applicant is not the holder of a UK Passport we will require proof of immigration status/residence permit/proof of ‘right to rent’, issued by the Home Office. Landlords have a statutory duty to carry out ‘right to rent’ checks on all applicants/occupants over 18 years of age. ‘Share Codes’ issued by the Home Office are required to verify status with the Home Office and you will need to provide these to us. Where an applicant does not hold a current UK passport the following documents are the only ones acceptable under Right to Rent legislation:-
A letter which:
(a) is issued by a government department or local authority no longer than three months before the date on which it is presented
(b) is signed by a named official stating their name and professional address
(c) confirms the holder’s name
(d) confirms that the holder has accessed services from that department or
authority or is otherwise known to that department or authority.
A letter which:
(a) is issued no longer than three months before the date on which it is presented
(b) is signed by a British passport holder who is or has been a professional person or who is otherwise of good standing in their community confirms the holder’s name
(d) states how long the signatory has known the holder, such period being of at least three months’ duration, and in what capacity
(e) states the signatory’s name, address, profession, place of work and passport number.
