DancingQueen Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi All, Wondering which reference checks provider to use - and how much to pay for these checks. I am renting my flat for the first time to a couple, who I found through my university's network. They both have solid profiles and one of them just moved from the US. Do you have any sites you'd recommend for reference checks? I have a voucher for 2 free Lettingref credit checks. However, the quality of the service seems poor and it seems all it does really is a quick / instantaneous credit check. Does anyone have any experience with it? Kind regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Have you decided to ask for a home owning guarantor for your tenants instead of taking rent guarantee insurance then ? Surely you are not considering having neither of these choices ? If you go for rent guarantee insurance then the insurers will carry out and ensure your tenants pass the reference criteria before providing the insurance.

DancingQueen Posted October 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Amazing! Do you have any recommended rent guarantee insurance providers? Again, first timer here so wanted to hear feedback from experienced landlords before making a decision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 No I don't have a recommendation, my local Agent provides the rent guarantee insurance within their pricing structure. No doubt someone will be along shorty to offer a recommendation or you can find insurers online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
