Referencing & Application Requirements

To help your application progress quickly, all adult occupants will need to provide:

  • Proof of Identity: A valid Passport or UK Driving Licence.
  • Proof of Residency: A recent utility bill or bank statement (within the last 3 months).
  • Financial Verification: Recent payslips or certified accounts if you are self-employed.
  • Right to Rent: Evidence of your legal right to reside in the UK.

Important Note: A security deposit (typically equivalent to 5 weeks' rent) is required prior to move-in. This will be legally protected within a government-authorised Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS).

Essential Tenant Information

  • Local Authorities: Depending on your specific location in Yorkshire, your Council Tax will be managed by Wakefield Council, Doncaster Council, or Leeds City Council.
  • Utility Management: You are responsible for the registration and payment of gas, electricity, water, Broadband & Insurance from the date your tenancy begins. But this is something that we can & will help you with: Visit Utility Warehouse.
  • Peace of Mind: While not a legal requirement, we strongly recommend Tenants' Liability Insurance to protect your personal belongings and your security deposit against accidental damage.
