Hi, worth money to hire letting agents to find new tenant and do background checks, or use do it yourself credit check type site? Sounds like lots of hassle to do it on own?  House is near hospital. Rent to NHS staff good idea? Thanks

Unless you are an experienced landlord with a good understanding of housing law and all the relevant documents that have to be provided to the tenant throughout the tenancy then its a must to use an agent, Do it incorrectly you could find yourself with a criminal record, a tenant you cant evict, and a fine. 

A good agent will advise on achievable rental amounts and do all the relevant checks.

If you take rent guarantee insurance then the insurers will carry out the necessary checks to ensure the tenant meets their criteria. It's not advisable to let property without either rent guarantee insurance or a home owning guarantor.
