No impact on your credit score

Private. Free.
For you.

Using the DC Estates Rental Readiness service does not affect your credit score. We do not perform a hard credit search or make a credit application on your behalf. Your assessment is based only on information and documents you choose to provide.

This assessment is not reported to credit-reference agencies and cannot lower your credit score.

Your result is not supplied to landlords, letting agents or credit-reference agencies and is not used by DC Estates to make a tenancy decision. Information supplied through this self-assessment will not be used against you in a future property application.
