Tenant referencing

Regardless of whether you let one or a portfolio of properties, you should always take proper precautions to ensure that your prospective tenant is of general good character and standing. We would recommend that you obtain comprehensive references to validate the information that your tenant has provided.  We provide an online tenant referencing tool via EndsleighLet, a tenant referencing service making use of Experian’s extensive database. There are two types of reference to choose from, as follows:-

Instant Tenant Reference

The Instant Tenant Reference provides agents and landlords with a report addressing the key checks in order to help them make a decision on prospective tenants.
The Instant Tenant Reference covers:

• A 6 year credit history search which identifies defaults, County Court Judgements (CCJ’s), bankruptcies, repossessions and poor payment records.
• Link address search which locates undisclosed associated addresses & residence history.
• Immediate email notification with final tenant or guarantor reference report.
• Voters Roll check to check that the tenant or guarantor is who they say they are.
• A Fraud Check with a score to identify fraud potential.
• Tenancy Score to indicate the likelihood of the tenant or guarantor to default on their rental payments.
• Income Validation score is used to indicate the degree of confidence in the income stated by the tenant or guarantor.

Comprehensive Tenant Reference

The Comprehensive Tenant Reference provides agents and landlords with a full tenant or guarantor reference report addressing the key checks, providing referee responses and giving a decision.

The Comprehensive Tenant Reference covers:
