Applying to become a housemate at Parker House
We hope you enjoyed your viewing at Parker House.
Thank you for your become a housemate.
Below you will find the steps to follow if you decide to go ahead and join Parker House.
Please contact Laoise or Sarah if you need any assistance at any stage of the process.
STEP 1: The Application process
Firstly you will need to click on APPLICATION FORM to open our online application and complete the sections on
Personal details, Contact details, Residential status, Employment history and Next of Kin details. You can also upload the documents you will need to send us for Step 3 - The Referencing Process.
STEP 2: The Holding Deposit
Once we receive your application we will send you a Holding Deposit Agreement to read and sign via Signable on either a smart-phone or computer. This lays out the terms of the holding fee and is important for you to know what these are.
Once signed you will then need to pay the holding deposit which is £100 via bank transfer. Once this step is completed, the room will no longer be marketed or shown to prospective housemates.
STEP 3: The Referencing Process
Once your holding deposit is paid, you will then be sent an email from Tenant Screening to start the referencing process. You will need to supply
- Copy of your passport
- Copy of your Drivers licence of other form of ID that has your current / last address on it
- 3 months bank statements as PDF
STEP 4: The Check-In
On successfully completing referencing we can finalise your check-in. You will need to pay your first month's rent (pro-rata) and deposit balance of £400 before check-in can be completed.
You will complete all paperwork via Signable and then check-in remotely via a video call. Your full deposit of £500 will then be lodged with the DPS and a certificate sent to you.
