TENANT REFERENCING

Tenant referencing designed to defend

Our approach to referencing uses the best technology. We use automation and tracking, and we capitalise on the benefits of Open Banking. But while we love our tech, we know it’s not everything. Our in-house referencing experts have honed the art of the clever question. They know how to deal with multiple addresses, ID checks and IP addresses.

King's Speech and Section 21

In the King's Speech, the government confirmed its commitment to the Renters Reform Bill. This bill, which is currently going through Parliament, aims to make renting more secure and affordable for tenants in England.

Key proposals in the bill include:



▪️ Abolishing Section 21, which allows landlords to evict tenants without giving a reason.

▪️ Introducing a new court process for landlords to regain possession of their property, with stronger grounds for eviction such as rent arrears and anti-social behaviour.

▪️ Speeding up the courts process so landlords can regain possession of their property if a tenant refuses to move out.

▪️ Clamping down on criminal landlords and protecting the student rental market.

Agents who are part of our Agent Success Programme benefit from of a valuable partnership that results in happier landlords, protected management fees, additional revenue and an extra pair of hands in their property management team.

Shocking eviction statistics revealed

Legitimate possession claims are taking an age to trundle through the clogged system, while troublesome tenants exploit the situation and heap more misery on landlords. The Ministry of Justice says that the average time for repossession cases is 29 weeks. This exceeds legal guidelines, but the problem is not confined to delays in securing court hearings.
