Hi Marian We are sorry to hear about your disappointment. The referencing company that we use set a criteria that applicants are required to meet in order to go through the process. The requirement for self-employed applicants is that they need to have two years worth of accounts to show that earnings are consistent and that they meet the required income to rent ratio. Unfortunately if you do not meet these requirements we are unable to get you through the process. You may find that other agents or referencing companies have a different criteria and would be able to help you find a suitable property to rent, and I can only apologise that we cannot.
