Tenant Search

Tenant searches are an important part of verifying a tenant's identity and also their credit history. Conducting a search can help private landlords and letting agents protect themselves from problematic tenants and non-payment of rent.

Luckily if you are looking to search tenants' credit histories and collect references it can now be done in a few simple clicks - gone are the days of writing to the banks and awaiting reference letters to drop through the letterbox - enter Lettingref. Lettingref provides the ability to conduct a tenant search online - all you need is the tenant's details, past address history, past landlord and employer information (don't worry, we provide you with a form for your tenants to fill out so you have all the information you need) to complete the check.

So what are we searching for?

Lettingref provides both sides of the tenant search service, a full and fast credit score and FREE tools that enable you to conduct a reference search as well.

It is vital to check a tenant as thoroughly as possible if you are going to rent a property as there is no guaranteed indicator to say who will be a responsible tenant. There are key things to look out for though; good credit history demonstrates financial responsibility, if a tenant has shown to pay past bills on time they're more likely to pay their rent on time. Keep your eyes peeled for evidence of late payments, court judgements or bankruptcies. Fully reference your tenants past landlord and employer adding a human element into the process, ensure all the information the tenant has given you can be verified and nothing is being hidden.

So what are we searching for? The perfect tenant for your property.
