Advanced Report

This Report provides agents, landlords & property professionals with a fully investigative referencing solution.

The aim of the Advanced Report is to address the key risks that are inherent to the property letting/management process.
Every application is carefully considered and a final decision is only provided once the applicant's authenticity, credit history and successful referee verification is completed.

An Advanced Rentchecks Report is thorough, fair and efficient. We aim to process applications within 24-48 hours.
In addition to ID & bank account validation, we will collect references (where possible) electronically and include these within the Report.

It is important to ensure that the applicant and their referees are authentic & legitimate however it is also critical to establish the applicant's ability to afford the rent before an agreement is drafted.
Verification of salary (employed applicants) or income (when possible) is included when a relevant referee is included on the application form.
Whilst the chances of a successful applicant going on to default on rent are extremely low, this Report is accepted by various providers of Rent Guarantee & associated insurance cover.
