Search Results Explained

3 Star

The applicant has achieved the highest credit score. This means the application was accurate and the details on it have been verified by our staff. Based on their confirmed salary the applicant will be able to meet the rent requirement.

2 Star Plus

The applicant has achieved a high credit score. This means the application was accurate and the details on it have been verified by our staff. However the applicant has not been registered on the Electoral Roll, and the reason has been satisfactorily explained to us. Proof of residence is required.

2 Star

The application is truthful but the prospective tenant is not considered to be sufficiently financially secure to meet the rental required. During the course of our enquiries nothing detrimental has been discovered.

Raeburn UK Limited will recommend that a suitable guarantor be supplied for 2 star applicants.

3 Star and 2 Star and 2 Star Plus scores are valid for the period of the tenancy term advised to Raeburn UK Ltd. We recommend the re-referencing of applicants if tenancy agreements are renewed. A reduced fee can be agreed for agents who undertake routine re-referencing.

1 Star

The applicant is not considered to be suitable for the tenancy. This can be for a variety of reasons, which may include:

  • Adverse references from previous landlords
  • Poor Credit history
  • An Untruthful application
