Why we verify income
Verifying tenant income is an essential step in screening prospective tenants. It ensures you can comfortably afford your rent and helps us provide a fair, consistent process for everyone.
To calculate your minimum required income (before tax and National Insurance deductions), we multiply your annual rent by 2.5.
How to verify your income
The easiest and most secure way to verify your income is through Digital Bank Statements (Open Banking).
If you don’t pass the referencing criteria, you may be asked to provide a guarantor.
