Once you have found your new home the next step is for you to start the referencing process, all references are carried out by a third party professional. These are recommended checks that confirm your personal details, employment status and affordability. Once referencing has been completed we will agree the ‘move in date’ with you and the landlord and all the necessary legal documents will be sent to you via email for you to read and e-sign.
