The CCJ is for £590 and from April 2021, his IVA was in 2019.
On the viewing I asked if either had any CCJs and both said “no”.
A 1 week holding deposit was paid, with the relevant form sent over and signed the following day of receipt.
So far the interim report from Homelet is showing the IVA but no CCJs. They were very keen to put down the holding deposit before even viewing the property but I insisted they saw it first.
My gut instinct is telling me not to accept them.
If I decide not to proceed (I’m sure the landlord would not be keen either) do I have to return the entire holding deposit, even though I have paid for the credit checks and they were not exactly truthful about their financial situation?

You can retain the whole holding deposit:
As long as the application form they filled in says they have no adverse credit, that should be fine.
There’s a strict procedure to follow to retain a holding deposit. Please see here for more information.
