Along with the rent, your monthly outgoings are likely to be greater than £1,530 per month and so our affordability test of 30-35% rent to income suggests tenants with combined annual salaried income of at least £55,000 - £63,000 as a minimum. If you don't have a salaried income in this range then we would require a guarantor.  

For those saving for their own place an commercial lets, we offer an incentive discount for those able to pay for the year up front of 10% for 12 months and 5% for 6 months.
