Who this is for
Renting in London right now
In the UK, referencing and Right to Rent checks are standard, so having documents ready before viewings helps you respond to agents the same day.
Most applications that get passed over in London aren't weak — they're missing a document or two. Showing everything an agent needs in one place removes the easy reasons to say no.
