Can I apply with a friend, partner or group?

Yes — you can apply with others if you’d like to share a home at Enclave. Many residents move in with a partner, friend, or small group, and the application process can easily accommodate this.

Applying as joint tenants

• Shared tenancy: Everyone who will be living in the property is usually named on the tenancy agreement. This means you all share equal responsibility for the rent and the property.
• Individual checks: Each applicant will need to complete their own referencing process, providing proof of ID, income, and references.
• Combined affordability: The team will look at your combined household income to ensure the rent is manageable between you.

Applying as a couple

• Both partners are typically listed as tenants.
• You’ll each need to provide documents, but the affordability check can be assessed jointly.
• This arrangement gives both partners equal rights and responsibilities under the tenancy.

Applying as a group

• The size of your group will need to match the property type (for example, a two-bedroom apartment for two sharers).
• Everyone will need to apply, provide references, and pass checks.
• Rent is shared, but all named tenants are jointly responsible for ensuring payments are made.

Things to consider

• Holding fee: Paid when you reserve the property.
• Flexibility: If one applicant has a different financial situation (for example, self-employed or international), the team can advise on alternatives such as a guarantor or advance rent.

If you’re planning to apply with others, it’s a good idea to let the local enquiries team know upfront so they can guide you through the process and ensure everything is set up correctly.
