Applying guide
Build a rental application pack that gets opened
Prepare the proof a landlord is likely to request before the right home appears.
Apply quickly while sharing only the personal data the decision actually requires.
- Start with a clean cover sheet
- Prepare income evidence
- Handle identity documents carefully
Start with a clean cover sheet
Put your name, contact details, desired move date, household size and a short introduction on one page. Keep the tone factual and make every file name easy to understand.
Prepare income evidence
Collect recent payslips, an employment letter or contract, and any accepted self-employment evidence. Ask the advertiser what period and format they require before sending extra documents.
Handle identity documents carefully
Share identity documents only through a verified channel. Add a purpose and date watermark when local rules allow it, and hide fields that are not needed for the rental check.
Make one review-ready PDF
Combine the requested documents in the same order as the application form. Check page orientation, file size and legibility on a phone before sending.
