What sort of checks do you make on potential Tenants?
We ask that all applicants are in full time, permanent
employment.All Rental applications are subject to a
Credit Reference Check to ascertain:
- Name, date of birth and address
- Employment Status
- Adverse Credit history
- Previous Rental/Mortgage history
Credit Reference Checks are funded by the applicant. These are
carried out by an Independent Credit Reference Company, who contact
McGarrigle & Co. direct with their findings (usually a within 10
days). A Landlord’s copy of the report is provided for your records.
The Tenant is subsequently informed of the decision and
subject to a satisfactory Credit Reference, a date is
arranged to sign the Lease and hand over keys.

Deposit?

vacation of the property (subject to a satisfactory
final inspection).
