Finding The Right Tenant

Behind every enquiry, every viewing, and every tenant is an individual, or a family who are working to solve their biggest problem ~ where to live.

At Ashley Charles we combine technology, market knowledge and people skills to match prospective tenants to properties and to find you the right tenant for your property.

Viewings

Depending on the package you choose, your property will be shown to potential tenants by one of our experienced negotiators at a time most convenient to you.

To ensure your property is let as quickly as possible we aim to keep viewing as flexible as possible. You will be kept informed of all viewings and any helpful feedback we receive.

References

When a prospective tenant has been found, a holding deposit is taken in order to establish a level of commitment. We then use a credit reference agency to take up references on the prospective tenant. Checks undertaken are as follows:

  1. Voters roll check, incorporating current and previous addresses which confirm if the applicant or guarantor is present and displays for how long.
  2. Public Information check for CCJ’s, bankruptcy and voluntary arrangements.
  3. Assessment against other applicant details.
  4. Evidence of undisclosed addresses.
  5. Affordability assessments on rent income ratios.
  6. Credit Score. An automated deciding tool assessing applicant’s ability to meet payments.
  7. Validation of bank account addresses and sort code provided.
  8. Score on fraud potential.
  9. Obtain an applicants or guarantors employers reference where we will confirm salary details, position held, contract type and duration.
  10. Obtain a reference from the applicants’ present landlord and establish if any arrears or dilapidations were recorded.

Whilst we endeavour to select suitable tenants Ashley Charles can offer no guarantee in respect of references or rental payments. We can however refer you to insurance companies that will give you total peace of mind by arranging to have your rent guaranteed. These schemes make sure that your income will be secure even if the rent is not paid.
