As lettings agents, WEB Lettings act as the middleman between tenants (that's YOU!) and the landlord they have not yet met. We generally do not know the prospective tenant and therefore cannot vouch for their credibility to the landlord. Consequently, before we can give the property's keys to anyone, we must undertake an assessment to determine their suitability for the  property. This is completed through obtaining references provided by tenants. Reputable, fully verified references, are quite simply essential in order for us to qualify a prospective tenant's personal and financial capabilities in relation to renting the property trouble free.

A tenant who wishes to abuse the law - can retain possession of a property without paying rent for several months after having moved in under false pretences. Naturally, we don't wish for our landlord clients to be the victims of such tenants - it's not good for our business or our reputation! If tenants cannot provide valid references, we will be unable to arrange a lease agreement with them. Most people understand the need for such references  - if however you are unsure of the requirement for any references sought, then just click on the large red buttons on this page to find out everything you need to know.

Property Manager - WEB Lettings 

"The whole rental business can be stressful for both landlords and tenants, but it really need not be so. The key to a successful letting process is clear communication with both landlord clients and tenant from start to finish.  At WEB Lettings we endeavour to do this each and every time".
