APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
A pre-application pack will be emailed to you upon booking a viewing, this must be completed and returned to us prior to your viewing taking place.

A holding deposit equivalent to 1 weeks rent will be required to reserve the property while referencing checks are being carried out.

You have 5 working days in which to supply the local office and our credit referencing partner with the information that we need in order to make a decision on your application. If you unreasonably delay in providing information or provide information which is inaccurate, false or incomplete then we will retain your holding deposit and reject your application.

With the tenants' consent this holding deposit will be refunded against the first month's rent. In accordance with the Tenant Fees Act, the holding deposit can be retained if the applicant provides false or misleading information, fails Right to Rent checks, withdraws from the property or fails to take reasonable steps to enter into the tenancy within 15 days. Failure to do so for any of the aforementioned reasons will result in you losing your holding deposit. An extension to the deadline may be entered into if agreed in writing by all parties to a maximum of 28 days. 

RIGHT TO RENT
From the 1st of February 2016 the 'Right to Rent' government scheme came into effect. This requires all Agents to check the documents of prospective tenants when applying for a rental property. When coming to view a property with Martin & Co we ask that you bring with you the appropriate document(s) in case you wish to proceed with an application.

The simplest way to conform to the regulation is to bring a valid British/EU passport or Visa (valid for the entirety of the initial tenancy term) with you, along with some form of proof of address. If you do not have a passport, please ask a member of staff for more information.

All applicants will be subject to a credit check carried out by a 3rd party to check for adverse credit (ie CCJ's, bankruptcy, IVAs etc) and your credit score must be at least 650 out of 1000
Applicants will need to provide proof of an income of at least 30x the monthly rent. If employed, this must be on a permanent contract and an employment reference will be required. If self-employed, applicants will need to provide 12 months evidence of income, either via self-assessment tax returns or a reference from an accountant. If retired, pension award letters will be required.
LHA applicants and anyone does not meet the above criteria will need to provide a guarantor who is working (permanent contract), has a clear credit history and is able to provide proof of an income of 36x the monthly rent
