ABOUT
What is tenant referencing?

Whether you be a new or an experienced landlord, finding the right tenant can be tricky – and placing the wrong tenant will be disastrous!

Tenant referencing is all about finding out as much as you possibly can about a prospective tenant before you place them in your valuable property – because finding the right tenant takes all the risk out of renting.
How can Privatelandlord help?

We offer three great products to help you find out as much as you can about your prospective tenant before you grant them a tenancy.

From simple, fast credit checks and our comprehensive application and documentation gathering product, to our unique, total picture, ground-breaking, full TENANTCHECK service.

The Privatelandlord TENANTCHECK is as close to guarantee as you ever going to get - So much more than just a credit report.

OUR SKILLS
WHO ARE WE?

We are Privatelandlord, a specialist residential property management company, created by Landlords for landlords.

Registered with and audited by, the Estate Agents Affairs Board (EAAB) annually.

We have been in operation for over 15 years and have successfully rented to literally 1000’s of tenants – and (touch wood), have never had to evict a tenant yet!

In fact, our tenant screening process is so effective and successful, that we knew that if we could offer it to independent landlords the benefits to them would be invaluable.

To learn more about us, check us out!

HOW DID WE GET HERE?

Our owners, being landlords themselves, realized that not all landlords wanted to or could afford to employ the full services of a rental agency – but could really still do with some professional assistance.

That’s why we created PRIVATELANDLORD SOLUTIONS – a one stop shop for private landlords braving it alone – a platform to support you with those aspects of letting you may not be absolutely sure about or just to save you time when needing a certain document or procedure.

We love all of our products but the one that stands head and shoulders above all our other offerings is without doubt our TENANTCHECK product – we really have struggled to put into words just how much of a blessing this product is to an individual landlord – it really is as close to guarantee as you ever going to get.

Get WHO WE ARE NOT?

We are NOT web developers or digital programmers who put together web sites and plug in services.


TENANTCHECK is NOT all about using our fully automated, integrated digital platform and sophisticated algorithms to deliver to you a computer generated solution….NO, we actually have real live humans! (Though we wouldn’t be being completely honest if we didn’t admit that we do use quite a bit of the above!) Experienced rental experts who analyse the information and are available to explain our findings to you. They will send you a very easy to read, though extremely comprehensive, report – or if you would prefer, they can call you to talk you through it.

WHY USE OUR REFERENCING PRODUCTS?

Sometimes you meet a potential tenant that you just like right away. After a long conversation where you really hit it off, you find that they match your criteria just perfectly!

You know that the key to successful letting is finding exceptional tenants – and that avoiding delinquent tenants is doubly so.

You know that you need to find out as much as you can about your potential tenant before they move in – the consequences of getting it wrong would be absolutely disastrous.

But you really need a tenant quickly and this one seems great, your “gut feel” keeps telling you so.

You had planned to seriously screen and reference any potential tenant but this one seems so nice and asking them to start filling in application forms and sending you their bank statements, ID and payslips would really be so uncomfortable – and this is where most landlords get tempted to take a chance!

Don’t do it!

Let us handle the discomfort, set your mind at ease and quite possibly save you a whack of cash and emotional distress – the best money you ever going to spend at the price!
