I was disgusting to have been calling the estate agents for days on end & find out it was all a waste of time! There is currently 2 adults and our baby living in a 1 bed private rent property. 1 additional adult will be living with us as soon as we find a 3bed house. I spoke to many people who took my details and explained that if we failed the credit check that we would need a guarantor. We found a reliable guarantor whom owns their own property, has worked all their life & is still working now. On day 5, I was told that I needed to find a "more lenient" estate agent as there would be nothing they could do for us. The reasons were; I am on maternity leave (yet I was in full tome employment and I will be going back to work!) That the additional person isn't 'blood family', although he has been like a brother to my fiancé for 15years! My guarantor doesn't earn £52,000 a year!! Even tho the rent was only £1300 p/m And also, because my partner has debts from his teenage years which he has cleared one, and is currently paying back the rest of them! Disgusted that we have been penalised by an estate agent like this and I will not be recommending you to anyone! I do not claim anything what so ever and we always pay rent and bills!! Yet a reference from our current landlady, to clarify that, wouldn't be sufficent. Personally, this is a 'snobby' establishment & obviously we are too common for you! Disgusted!!
