Self-Employed Tenancy Referencing - Bank Statements instead of SA302!
Comments

If a prospective tenant was unwilling to show landlord or reference agency bank statements I'd assume he had a reason - that there was something in them he was wanting to hide
Your choice: provide & maybe get the place, don't provide & look elsewhere.

I would fully expect it on a mortgage application. For a rental it's excessive and intrusive. If I had nothing then I would understand.0

Rentals are a sellers' market at the moment so they can ask for whatever they like, unfortunately.
Comply and stand half a chance of getting this property. Don't comply and you definitely won't0 -
Risk needs to be assessed. So perfectly reasonable.0

Not true. This property was on the market for rent for two months and we were the first to say we wanted it. The agent even told me the landlord is desperate to let it and get some money in. So all their quibbling about silly things is counterproductive. If we hadn't already paid the admin fee we WOULD be walking away!
And it's high time the TENANT got some risk assurance for a change. They want to nit pick every single little detail of my life in order to let to me, then they should be offering in return greater security in the form of longer tenancies. They want to move us in and out like cattle in 6 and 12 month tenancies, and continue to view us merely as walking wallets, then they can damn well get the worst of the bunch as the rest of us will go elsewhere.
Cheers!0
