It is tempting to choose the lowest-cost tenant-find service and get someone moved in quickly. But if the referencing is weak, the paperwork is rushed or the wrong tenant is placed, that saving can disappear very quickly.
One bad tenancy can mean rent arrears, property damage, legal costs, re-letting fees and months of lost income. Suddenly, the “cheap” option becomes the most expensive decision you made all year.
A proper tenant-find should never be about simply filling a room. It should protect your asset, your cash flow and your peace of mind.
Before handing over the keys, make sure these boxes are ticked:
🔹 Full referencing, including affordability, identity and rental history.
🔹 Right to Rent checks completed before the tenancy begins.
🔹 A clear, properly prepared tenancy agreement.
🔹 A detailed inventory with photos and condition reports.
🔹 Deposit protected in a government-approved scheme within 30 days, with the required prescribed information served.
🔹 A plan for rent collection, maintenance and compliance from day one.
Getting these basics right at the start is far cheaper than fixing problems later. A good tenant is not just someone who can pay the first month’s rent, it is someone who will look after your property and pay reliably for the long term.
