A hands on approach with tenant referencing

With the rapid expansion of the UK private rented sector, there's a rapidly expanding need for more stringent tenant referencing, so says Marc Da Silva from The Negotiator.


Hands-on approach
Although many agents do outsource their tenant referencing service to a third-party, there are others who prefer to keep the work in-house.

"We have so far avoided the temptation to outsource referencing and continue to undertake the task ourselves," said Mark Sandall of Andrew Granger & Co. "This means we are able to monitor the situation more closely and build up a better relationship with the applicant. We can also see how the applicants conduct themselves through the referencing process to ensure they are suitable."
