Tenants Guide
As soon as terms are agreed, subject to contract and satisfactory references, all the proposed tenants and adult occupants, and guarantors if required, will need to provide proof of identity by way of a passport or current photo driving licence, plus a recent utility bill from their current address. If you require a Visa or official permission to reside in the UK, you must provide evidence for this at this time.
References
All tenants who rent through Aspire are obliged to provide references and these are requested and gathered by an independent referencing company. The referencing company will need a completed application form with information from prospective tenants on previous residences and previous landlords, if any, as well as information about income.
Application form
It is essential to complete the form as soon as possible, accurately and in detail and alert potential referees that they will be contacted.
The company will then produce a report for the landlord detailing these references, so that the landlord has the opportunity to approve them. In some cases, a guarantor may be required and, if this is the case, we will advise of the next steps.
Independent Checks
Aspire works with an idependent referencing company that completes all its reference checks and offers insurance products to both landlords and tenants.
