Tenant Screening

Tenant Screening is a professional tenant verification and background check service based in Swindon, UK, dedicated to assisting landlords, letting agents, and property managers across the United Kingdom in making informed rental decisions. The firm's primary objective is to streamline the tenant screening process, making it accessible, cost-effective, and precise, thereby enabling clients to rent properties with confidence and mitigate potential financial risks and complications. The company aims to provide fast, accurate tenant checks, comprehensive credit reports, verification of right-to-rent status, and thorough reference tracking to reduce associated risks and safeguard property investments. The company offers a range of services designed to provide a comprehensive overview of prospective tenants.

These services include credit checks, income verification, background referencing, and right-to-rent checks. Tenant Screening also provides previous landlord references, employment verification, and identity verification, alongside Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks as a standard inclusion for enhanced security. For corporate lettings, the firm extends its services to include company profile checks, assessing the financial stability and suitability of organisations looking to lease residential properties for their employees. Tenant Screening employs a four-stage process for tenant referencing.

This begins with an application stage, where property details and applicant contact information are entered, leading to an automated application sent to the prospective tenant. Following completion, the system instantly obtains a credit history report and dispatches reference requests to employers and previous landlords. The third stage involves information gathering, where the company's team actively pursues any outstanding references and collects all necessary data to formulate a comprehensive application decision. The process culminates in a summary report, where a dedicated case manager reviews the application and concludes the reference check, providing findings and recommendations to the client.

This blend of technology and experienced personnel is utilised to ensure accurate decisions, aiming to confirm that monthly commitments can be met and properties are treated with due respect. With over 15 years of experience in the sector, Tenant Screening has processed more than 45,000 online applications, achieving an pass rate exceeding 95%. The firm reports a 100% incident-free tenancy rate based on its suitability recommendations, reflecting its commitment to quality and reliability. The company operates with a UK-based support team and ensures full compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and right-to-rent laws, providing clear, accurate, and easy-to-read reports within a typical turnaround time of 24-48 hours, dependent on the responsiveness of references.

This rigorous approach is designed to protect the interests of landlords and agents by providing peace of mind regarding tenant suitability. Tenant Screening caters to a diverse client base within the UK property market. Its services are specifically tailored for private landlords, specialists in Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), letting agents, and property management groups. The company also has a dedicated focus on the student accommodation sector, providing essential tenant referencing for student housing and landlords managing student properties.

This broad scope ensures that various segments of the rental market can benefit from the firm's expertise in vetting potential tenants, whether for individual properties or extensive portfolios. The firm's commitment extends to helping prospective tenants by providing them with a thorough report proving their suitability for tenancy, thereby assisting them in securing rental properties. Tenant Screening's services are designed to minimise risk for landlords and agents by offering comprehensive background and credit referencing checks, which are crucial for identifying reliable tenants who will adhere to tenancy agreements and maintain properties appropriately. The company's operational ethos is rooted in providing reliable, compliant, and secure tenant screening solutions across the UK.
