Viewings & Applications

YOUR JOURNEY TO SECURING A PROPERTY

Once you’ve found a property you’d like to rent, the process is simple and straightforward. Start by emailing us leesproperty.office@gmail.com with what property you are interested in so we can then get a viewing organised. If you wish to proceed after viewing the property, you’ll need to submit an application to begin the referencing process. Referencing includes employment and income checks, a credit check and where applicable references from previous landlords, we also take the deposit to secure the property at this stage. Once your referencing is successfully completed and your landlord approves your application, we will then confirm your move in date, arrange for the tenancy agreement to be signed, collect the first rent for the month.  When everything is finalised, you’ll get your keys and be ready to move into your new home. Your deposit will be transferred to Safe Deposit Scotland (SDS) within 30 working days of your tenancy commencing and we will provide them with your contact details. 

Supporting documents

We strongly recommend that applicants earn at least 2.5x their monthly share of the rent. If not, a guarantor may be required 

Each applicant over the age of 16 must provide to our referencing company:

  1. Photographic ID (driver’s license or passport)
  2. Proof of current address (e.g. utility bill, bank statement – dated within the last 3 months or current tenancy agreement)
  3. Proof of income (pay slips or bank statements for the last 3 months – if you are starting a new job a copy of your employment contract is also accepted. If you are self-employed and don’t receive monthly pay slips then an SA302 is also acceptable – this can be provided by HMRC).
  4. Visa (if non-EU resident)
  5. Guarantor form (if required)
