How to choose the right tenant – our top tips
One of the biggest headaches in recent times is ensuring the right tenants are selected to view and be selected to a house to let and with demand so high there has been a high level of activity from applicants.
Obviously the main factors we will help you consider are things such as affordability, how many occupants, length of tenancy, time frame and crucially whether we think the property will be looked after.
Here are some things we will do when searching for the right tenant for you;
· Tenant background - The likelihood is, that you will have multiple applications but you can only move forward with one of them so we will do our best to make sure you feel comfortable with them.
· Start the pre-qualification before even conducting viewings – Mundys will qualify every tenant prior to them viewing and this will save considerable amounts of time and help ensure we are only seeing people who are likely to be a good fit.
· Having a thorough referencing process once you have ‘accepted’ an offer is vital. We use a national referencing agent to ensure this is completely robust and thorough.
· Protect yourself as much as possible – It is impossible to know what the future holds and we would always recommend rent and legal protection insurance as well as comprehensive landlord insurance.
