For prospective tenants:
It is highly recommended that you book an internal viewing of the property. To speed up the referencing process with Miller Metcalfe, you can opt-in to Open Banking. This means that instead of providing proof of income documents, you can connect securely and quickly with Open Banking to allow the provider to view a snapshot of your income and rent payments.

.
You will need to provide proof of identity to prove that you have the right to live in England, such as a British passport, national identity card, or a letter of attestation and driver’s license with a birth certificate. If you are a non-British citizen, you may be able to provide a share code to prove your immigration status. Proof of income or employment is also required to demonstrate that you can cover the rent. You will need to earn 2.5 times your annual rent to pass referencing. If you are self-employed or a company director, you will need proof of a submitted tax return from the most recent tax year or professional details for your accountant. If you have savings, you will need to provide your most recent bank statement from the past 30 days.

.
If you cannot meet the income requirements, you may need to provide a guarantor who will agree to pay the rent or any damages if you cannot. The guarantor will need to have a salary of 3 times the rent and should be living in the UK. Miller Metcalfe can provide a guarantor if you do not have access to one. A previous landlord's reference will also be required to comment on your previous tenancy.

.
You will need to give permission for a credit check to be conducted to get a 'soft check' of your credit history. This is to ensure that you have a fair opportunity to declare your full situation to Miller Metcalfe. A refundable holding deposit is payable to reserve the property, which is the equivalent of one week's rent. Please note that this deposit will be withheld if you or any relevant person withdraws from the tenancy, fails a right-to-rent check, provides materially significant false or misleading information, or fails to sign the tenancy agreement within 15 calendar days.

.
A tenancy/security deposit is also required, which is capped at five weeks rent for rent not exceeding £50,000 per annum or six weeks rent if greater. This covers damages or defaults on the part of the tenant during the tenancy and applies to assured shorthold tenancies. You may also need to pay at least a month's rent in advance.

.
It is important to note that the property comes unfurnished and bills are not included. There will be no access to the loft area throughout the tenancy. The landlord is looking for a long-term tenancy, with the initial contract offered on a minimum term of six months with the intention to extend the tenancy for a further six months. For more information on the affordability and holding deposit for this property, please refer to the summary and exclusions. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Miller Metcalfe.
