Tenant Referencing

A landlord should check a tenant or guarantor's suitability before granting a tenancy by taking references.

We offer a tenant or guarantor assessment service similar to obtaining a credit check, and checks include a prospective tenant or guarantor assessment score, County Court judgments (CCJ) and bankruptcy.

Reports are only available to subscribers and use 900 credits.

Tenant/Guarantor Assessment

The referencing provides a simple-to-understand report. It is returned to you within a minute or so of completing the simple form providing details of the prospective tenant or guarantor.

  • 24-hour easy online access
  • One simple online form to fill in; we do the rest.
  • A predictive tenancy assessment score indicates suitability
  • Uncovers adverse, undisclosed and withheld information
  • In most cases (95%), the report arrives by email within a few minutes.

The tenant assessment check does all of the following:

  • Electoral roll check at the applicant's current and previous addresses
  • A tenancy assessment score predicting the applicant's likelihood to pay
  • A Public Information check to ascertain whether the applicant has CCJs, bankruptcy orders or voluntary arrangements
  • A check to see if the applicant has any undisclosed addresses
