Fast, thorough tenant checking for landlords at a reasonable price
SpareRoom's Tenant Referencing uses comprehensive multiple database cross-referencing. We check the information provided by your prospective tenants to give you peace of mind when deciding who to let to.
Tenant Referencing is a modular service which allows you to choose the exact scope of the referencing you require.
Modules include:
- Identity Report – Fully rigorous ID verification
- Credit Report – Checking the financial and credit history of the applicant
- Professional Employment Confirmation – Direct confirmation of employment details
- Combined Reports – Choose the reports you need
Identity and residence information is cross checked across multiple databases until a critical threshold of proof is achieved. This system is more thorough than the UK passport service checks or the old photo ID and two utility bills proof required by banks.
This report is designed to uncover warning signs such as undisclosed addresses, discrepancies in residential histories and undisclosed adverse financial judgements (such as bankruptcies or undischarged CCJs).
We will attempt to confirm directly with the tenant’s employer their employment capacity, length of service, status (temp or permanent) and gross salary (if available).
A combined report is cheaper than buying individual services but maintains the same commitment to thoroughness as you'd get by purchasing separately. Choose the checks you want to combine to help you make your decision.
All checks can be duplicated for Guarantors of tenants.
Prices:
- Identity Report - £25
- Credit Report - £25
- Professional Employment Confirmation - £35
10% discount if more than one report purchased together (all prices ex-VAT)
Prices are for individual applicants. Guarantor checks require additional fees.
