    "They will be able to"? Absolutely.

    "They will want to"? No.

    Often these tenant reference checks will include a six month's rent guarantee insurance.

    IF the agents are providing this service and IF they told the reference company it was £8,500 per month rather than £850 per month, I wonder if the insurance company may want some more money from the agent to rectify the mistake.
    IANAL etc.

    Actually HR gave me a copy of the letter, so here is the wording they used if you're interested.
    As betmunch says, they don't actually ask whether you can afford this. I suggest you ask HR for a copy of their reply too.
