Tenants

At Peter Clarke, we aim to make the renting process as smooth and straightforward as possible, and our team is always on hand to assist with any questions you may have.

Before arranging a viewing, we will ask you to register and complete a short set of questions to ensure the property is suitable for your needs. We will also guide you through the application and referencing process, so you know exactly what to expect at each stage.

All applications are subject to contract and landlord approval.

1. Once you have found the perfect property we will provide you with an’ Application to Rent’ form which will need to be completed and signed by all adults over the age of 18 that will be living at the property. This will provide us with all of the information that we need to be able to submit your application to the landlord of the property. In the case of multiple applications on one property, all applications will be submitted for the landlords consideration.
2. If successful, in order to comply with the Government’s Right to Rent checks, we will need to verify that you have the right to rent a property in the UK. We will need to see your EU passport or a valid residence card / visa. We must see all applicants in person and the original documents prior to move in.
3. Once accepted, you will be required to complete an online application form for each adult. You will need to submit an electronic copy of your photo ID and proof of address – usually in the form of a utility bill or bank statement.
4. Once this has been completed, you will be required to pay a non refundable holding deposit by debit card equivalent to one weeks rent, and at this point the property will be removed from the market.
5. Our referencing company, Paragon, will then carry out a credit search, obtain employment references and any previous landlord references.
6. Once your references have been completed you will be issued with your tenancy agreement for signing electronically and we will contact you to make arrangements for you to collect the keys for the property on the day of move in.
