In short: Landlords and referencing companies check that the rent is affordable, often looking for annual income of around 30 times the monthly rent. Employees usually provide recent payslips and a contract or employer reference. Self-employed applicants provide tax returns, SA302s or accountant letters. Benefit statements count as income too, and blanket bans on benefits are unlawful. If income falls short, a guarantor can help. Fraser Bond tells you exactly what we need upfront.
