How Renting Works (At a Glance)

Your Step-by-Step Rental Journey

Whether you are renting for the first time or searching for your next home, we aim to make the process as straightforward and transparent as possible. From your first enquiry through to moving day, our team will guide you through each stage of the rental journey and keep you informed along the way.

 

The steps below explain how to apply for one of our professionally managed homes to rent and what you can expect throughout the application process.

Step 1: Review Available Homes

Explore our available homes to rent using detailed photos, floor plans, property features and development information. Take time to compare locations, layouts and rental options to find the home that best suits your lifestyle.

 

Step 2: Register Your Interest

Once you’ve found a home you’d like to rent, submit an enquiry online. You’ll receive a confirmation email and reference number, and our team will review your enquiry as quickly as possible.

 

Step 3: Discover the Home in Person

Attend a viewing with a member of our housing team. This is your opportunity to explore the home, ask questions, understand the local area and decide whether the property is right for you.

 

Step 4: Apply for Tenancy

If you decide to proceed, we will ask you to complete a short questionnaire and provide some initial information about your household and housing requirements. This helps us understand your circumstances, answer any questions and confirm that the home appears suitable before moving to the next stage.
 
Applications are reviewed in accordance with our Lettings Statement. To ensure a fair and transparent process, we may consider more than one prospective resident at the same time.
 

Step 5: References & Verification

If your enquiry progresses, you will be invited to complete a formal tenancy application directly with our independent referencing provider.

 

As part of this process, affordability, credit and identity checks will be completed, together with employment, income and landlord verification where applicable. Right to Rent checks will also be carried out in accordance with current legislation.

 

The referencing provider may contact you directly if additional information or supporting documentation is required to complete the assessment. Once the process has been completed, the outcome will be shared with Lafford Living and we will contact you regarding the next steps.
 

Step 6: Approval & Tenancy Offer

Once referencing has been successfully completed, we will confirm approval, agree a provisional tenancy start date and guide you through the final stages before move-in.

 

Step 7: Welcome Home

On move-in day, you will sign your tenancy agreement, receive the keys to your new home and be provided with your Tenant’s Handbook and important tenancy information. From day one, our team will remain available to support you throughout your tenancy.
