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’.
Original documentation can be provided in person for certification purposes and copies will be taken for our records by a Thornley Groves representative. Alternatively, and for your convenience, scanned copies or photos can be provided via email or mobile app (WhatsApp) which will need to be verified via a video call with our representatives.
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, Goodlord, 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.

Digital evidence of immigration status

Individuals who have been provided with digital status via an eVisa can only prove their right to rent using the Home Office online service on GOV.UK: Prove your right to rent in England Individuals using the service will generate a 9-character long share code that can be passed on to a landlord/agent, which, when entered alongside the individual‘s date of birth, enables the landlord/agent to access their right to rent information. The share code will be valid for 90 days from the point it has been issued and can be used as many times as needed within that time. Share codes can only be used for the purpose they were originally selected for. All status share codes begin with a letter denoting the purpose the share code can be used for. Where a share code begins with the letter ‘R‘, this will indicate that the share code has been generated by a tenant to evidence their right to rent. Landlords/agents will not be able to accept or use share codes which begin with the letter ‘W‘ or ‘S‘ as these are designed for other services.
