FAQ

What affordability ratio do UK referencing agencies use? The industry norm is that rent should not exceed 30% of gross monthly income, or income should be at least 30× monthly rent annually (the '30% rule'). This is a guideline, not a statutory test.

Is affordability the same as a Right to Rent check? No. Right to Rent (gov.uk/landlord-immigration-check) is a separate legal check on immigration status. Affordability is a commercial referencing decision made by the landlord or agent.
