to help tenants looking for

with landlords & here she shares
tips on how you can become a
PRE-QUALIFIED TENANT, ensuring

dream home.

Prove your rental affordability
When you decide to rent a
property, you need to work out
your rental affordability which the
referencing company will need
to verify. They will look at income
of all tenants who will be on the
tenancy agreement and are over
the age of 18. Most of them work
on a simple calculation which is
that your annual income needs to
be 30 x the monthly rent. An easy
example to show this is assuming
a rent at £1,000 pcm, they would
be looking to confirm your annual
income at 30 x 1,000, meaning
it would need to be £30,000 per
annum.
Don’t rely on the property portals
Over the last few years, the
way in which we browse, view
and rent property has changed
radically. This means that there is
a temptation to just look online
at what is available and react to
what comes up. If you are taking
moving seriously you need to get
out and meet the agents, or at
least get to know them over the
phone. When an agent takes on
a property to rent, they will have
mental checklist of who they will
notify first. Make sure that you are
at the top of thaw By completing
and passing the rent passport you
will earn a place on our call list for
newly instructed property.
Top tip: Jacksons use a company
called canopy for referencing.
They offer all tenants a passport
service meaning you can
complete an online checker and
it will run a soft credit check and
qualify you as a potential tenant.
This will confirm the amount of
rent that you should be looking to
pay based on your income and
put you in pre-approved position
ahead of other tenants on the
viewing list for any property with
Jacksons. It can be completed by

Top tip: At Jacksons we use a
dynamic software system which
allows us to boast a multi-platform
marketing strategy. In some cases,
our landlords will only market
on our website. They may elect
to only disclose their property
details to prequalified tenants
receiving our ‘heads up’ property
alerts. In the last year we have
let many properties which didn’t
even appear to let on rightmove,
zoopla, prime location or on the
market.
