Risk Management Specialist, Leaseguard Ltd, has launched their new Tenant Online Referencing Service for both existing and new agents.

Announcing the new service Veronica Allison, Operations Manager at Leaseguard, said: “We pride ourselves in providing a tailored service to our agents and have developed this facility as a result of feedback received.”

The company say they have worked in tandem with their agents to develop an efficient, yet still personal, Tenant Online Referencing Service. The feedback indicated that their agents would save more time if the tenant could fill out an application online. Veronica added “We have worked hard over the past few months to ensure that the system lives up to the requirements set out by our agents.”

In support of their new service they have worked with the leading credit information expert, Equifax, to enhance the application process for their agents. The credit data from Equifax playing a key role in enabling them to verify the identity and credit status of an applicant as swiftly as possible so that agents do not experience delays in their decision-making process. The data is also crucial in ensuring that only the most suitable tenants are accepted by letting agents.

“We chose to work with Equifax because we believe that they offer the best quality consumer credit data solutions for our tenant referencing service” added Veronica.

She added “Credit information plays a vital role in checking that tenants are who they say they are and that they will be able to pay their rent. We are confident that the Equifax data will give our agents the best possible risk management support.”
