Tenants are asked to complete a rental application form and utility consent form and return with the necessary IDs. You can also apply via our website.
This process is outlined below:
We are on hand to help you find your next home. Before you begin, there are a few requirements to make the process as smooth, swift and seamless as possible. Complete the process in 8 simple steps that will take approximately 3 - 7 working days:
Documents Required
Please note everyone over the age of 18 moving into the property will need to complete a tenancy application form and submit their documents prior to taking up a tenancy.
Identification documents
UK Driving License, Passport
If you are Employed
Last 3 months wage slips
Proof of residential Address

If self-employed or a company
Company and financial details (credit, business bank and accountants references).
Prior to moving into the property, the tenant will need to pay a deposit equivalent to 5 weeks rent and 1 months rent in advance. Upon applying, we take an amount equivalent to 1 weeks rent to reserve the property, with the balance payable prior to moving in.
Vetting, Credit Checks, Referencing, Collecting Payments, Registering Deposit
All tenants go through comprehensive credit checks and referencing through our integrated system Canopy HQ. It will save the tenant time if they complete a Canopy Profile in advance, they can do so via the following link https://go.canopy.rent/CmjYVcCPHrR6sWvp8 - we will request their references and guarantor (if applicable) through the same system. We collect any payments via card or bank transfer. The deposit is registered with the Deposit Protection Service to comply with the Deposit legislation (this is capped at 5 weeks rent in line with legislation).
Signing of Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (AST) and Guarantor Agreement
All of our documents are e-signed, via the legally backed RMAIL system, witnessed and countersigned. Most tenancies will be for an initial period of 6 months with a review thereafter.
In some circumstances we work with company guarantors such as Housing Hand, (https://housinghand.co.uk/) speak to a member of the team who will guide you on what is sufficient for your circumstances.
