Applying For A Property With PPL Is Simple

Once you have browsed our available properties online and found the one that is perfect for you, the next step is to arrange a viewing with a member of our lettings team.

We will show you round the property and answer any questions you have. To submit a property application you (or a representative) must have viewed the property first in person or via video link. This is a great time to get a feel for the property and check it is the right fit for you.

What You Need To Rent With Us

To view one of our properties, please get in touch and we will arrange a convenient time for your viewing. We will ask you some questions prior to arranging the viewing to ensure that you are in a position to rent the property.

In order to rent a property with us you must meet one of the following criteria:

- Tenants must have a combined annual salary of 30 x the monthly rent.
- If you are a student, you will be required to have a UK based guarantor with an annual salary of 36 x the tenants proportion of the monthly rent.
- If you are self-employed, we will require 3 years of accounts and a letter from your accountant.

Please contact us if you would like more information on any of the above criteria.

Applications and References

Our properties are very popular and we often receive several applications for one property so the more information you can provide us with on the application form the better.

We carry out reference checks through a third-party company who will assess the following:

- Credit check
- Bank validation check
- Financial sanctions check
- Employment check
- Current landlord reference
- Affordability calculation

Once the reference checks have been completed and are satisfactory, we will send you your Private Residential Tenancy agreement to review and sign electronically.

If you would like any more information on our application process, please feel free to contact us and a member of our team will be able to help.

Tenant Application Form

Thank you for viewing our property.

The next step to apply for the property is to complete our tenant application form. Please complete the form in full, the more information you can give us the better.

All applications are subject to approval from the landlord and satisfactory reference checks. If your application is successful, we will require a holding deposit to secure the property and remove it from the market. The holding deposit goes towards the full deposit and is fully refundable if the tenancy does not go ahead for any reason.

Guarantor Application Form

In some circumstances we may ask you to provide a guarantor in order to rent a property with us. This is someone (e.g. a parent or close relative) who is liable to pay your rent if for some reason you cannot pay it.

To act as a guarantor for a prospective PPL tenant, please complete the form below in full.

All applications are subject to the landlord’s approval and satisfactory reference checks.

If you have any questions about our tenant guarantor form get in touch and we will be happy to help.
