Seems more than dubious to me. Since I am a German national living in the US and moving to UK, I cannot meet their criteria, which is first of all fine with me (keep reading!):
" - Must have been a UK resident with a UK address for at least the past 12 Months.
- Must be working and on a permanent employment contract.
- Must Pass a basic credit check application"
BUT:
I have a contract, my husband had a contract, we will even be able to transfer our credit score from the US to UK through HSBC and we have savings they say:
"If you do not match this criteria, we are still able to place you if you could provide seven months rent and the equivalent of six months rent as a deposit."
And let me say - it's not about the ability to pay this - I just think it is dubious- not serious after all!
A six month deposit is insane - a reason to say know. I definitely understand that they want to secure theirselves, but 2, or even 3 month is a maximum they should ask and they go far beyond this.
Just the fact that they want £7000 up front for a £1000 property to rent - I think they really try hard not to rent out to foreigners.
Comment on agent fees
Okay - not quite impressivly low
