For tenants

A clearer route from viewing to move-in.

We want the practical steps to be easy to follow, whether you are asking about a current property or preparing to apply for a home.

Ask early, understand the next step and keep your documents close to hand.

The tenant journey

Four practical steps.

Every tenancy is different, but the route is easier to understand when the important questions are answered at the right moment.

01

Book a viewing

Choose a property from the listings and use the enquiry form to request a viewing. Tell us your preferred timing and any useful context.

02

Prepare your information

If you decide to proceed, we explain the information and documents needed for your circumstances before referencing begins.

03

Understand the deposit

Before you sign, we confirm the deposit, first-rent payment and the arrangements for the tenancy deposit process.

04

Agree the move-in

Once the application and paperwork are complete, we confirm the expected move-in date and handover details with you.

Common questions

What should I have ready?

We will explain the details for the property and your circumstances. This is the usual shape of the conversation.

What documents are normally needed?

The exact requirements depend on your circumstances. We will explain what is needed before referencing begins; this may include identity, proof of income or funds, right-to-rent information and previous accommodation details.

When do I pay the deposit?

The amount and payment timing are confirmed before you sign the tenancy. We will also explain the relevant deposit protection arrangements for the property.

How long does moving in take?

There is no single timeline for every property. After the landlord approves the application and referencing and paperwork are complete, we confirm the expected move-in date and the remaining handover steps.

What if I have a question about a listing?

Use the enquiry form on the Contact page, select the property and choose the type of help you need. You can also contact Bradley directly about a current listing.
