How do I confirm my identification?

Prior to granting your tenancy, we will need to confirm your identity, the identity of your guarantor and/or the permitted occupier (if applicable).
To do this we require two forms of identification. Please read the requirements below and if you have any questions or concerns just get in touch!

Two forms of identification must be provided for all tenants, permitted occupiers (over the age of 18) and guarantors.
We require one form of ID from ‘LIST A’ and another form from either ‘LIST A’ or ‘LIST B’.
If the tenancy is in the name of a company, two forms of identification will be required from a director of the company and one form MUST be photographic as per ‘LIST A’.
A Thornley Groves representative must certify all original documentation for tenants, permitted occupiers and guarantors and full colour photocopies of the originals must be taken at the office.
Documents certified by non Thornley Groves employees and photocopies/scanned copies of documentation cannot be accepted, as per the Immigration Act 2014 and our company policy. (Not applicable to guarantors).
In the event that Thornley Groves are not in receipt of ALL required identification documents your tenancy cannot commence and keys for the property will not be released.

Right to Rent in the UK Document Checks

In accordance with Section 2 of the Immigration Act 2014, a Landlord/Agent must not authorise an adult (anyone over the aged of 18) to occupy a property as their main or only home under a residential tenancy agreement unless the adult is a British Citizen, Swiss National, from a European Economic Area or has other proof of a continued ‘Right to Rent’ in the UK. Thornley Groves Estate Agents carry out ‘Right to Rent’ checks, via our preferred choice of Referencing Agent, UK Tenant Data, on every applicant applying to rent a property through us, in order to determine that all adults occupying the property have the right to rent in the UK.
