Built for letting agents.
Tenant referencing that protects your landlords, plus everything your agency needs around the tenancy.
Your services.
Everything a letting agent needs around the tenancy, from one team.
Let’s look at the referencing process.
The right referencing partner depends on how you answer three questions. Most of our customers tell us they want affordability checks, results that are thorough but quick, clear reports, and protection for their landlords and properties.
- 1Why do you carry out tenant referencing?
- 2What features matter most to you in a reference?
- 3What types of check do you expect to be completed?
Two tiers, built to suit.
Credit check.
A fast, instant view of an applicant’s credit history and honesty.
- Credit check that flags adverse credit such as CCJs or IVAs, and shows how reliably bills and debts are paid
- Undisclosed address check to reveal hidden adverse credit
- Electoral roll check to confirm the applicant lives where they say
- Application cross-check that alerts you to multiple applications
- Instant report
Credit check plus references.
Everything in Tier 1, plus financial and landlord references completed by our team.
- All Tier 1 checks
- References by phone: our staff call referees and complete references during the call
- Employer verification: we confirm the company is genuine, including its email and phone details
- Multi-point fraud checklist, with every document analysed
- Wider income review: tax returns for the self-employed, pension letters, benefits, Universal Credit, child maintenance and savings
If the rent stops, we step in.
Unpaid rent and legal costs, built into the referencing process.
No guarantor? No problem.
When an applicant can’t provide a UK guarantor, RentBuddy steps in as one. You keep the tenant, your landlord keeps the security.
Know exactly who you’re letting to.
Since 2016, landlords and agents in England must check that tenants have the right to rent in the UK. We make that simple, and go further when you need it.
Right to Rent checks.
Check original documents or a government share code with the tenant’s date of birth. Tenants can’t be required to use the online route.
