All we need if you're a student is a guarantor and a letter from your college or university confirming your course, a personal reference and, if you're under 21 years old, a letter of parental guarantee. If you are unemployed and receiving housing benefit we also need a guaranto and must request 2-months rent in advance plus the deposit.

Not all owners accept tenants in receipt of housing benefit so in many cases the owner would require to be consulted.

In some instances we are able to carry out an "express" check in within 3 working days for an additional fee of £50 + vat. Once you have paid your deposit, we will hold the property for you for up to two weeks or possibly longer by negotiation.
