Me and my partner are trying to move into a house in the uk (rent) but because we don’t have in order accounts or up to date returns
(we’ve been waiting on getting an accountant til once we’d moved but it’s looking like that was a mistake)
Our estate agent has told us to get an accountant to look over mine and my partners bank accounts over 2 years and then writing that we’d be able to afford this property.
Is this something that’s normally done? We’re so scared it’s going to trip us up. Also know it might be costly. Any advice is appreciated!
