Tenant Sourcing & Vetting

At Dee Atkinson & Harrison we pride ourselves on our stringent vetting procedures for tenancy applicants. Our initial checks are performed over the telephone before a viewing of your property is even agreed. Potential viewers are asked to provide details including employment status, credit history and size of the family. If these questions are answered to our satisfaction, a viewing of the property is then arranged. The viewing appointment is the first opportunity for our staff to meet the potential applicant in person and learn more about them. If the viewer wishes to apply for the property they are then invited to our offices, where further staff members can assess their suitability, to complete an application form.

Our use of the external referencing company Homelet ensures that all applications are thoroughly checked in areas such as credit score, landlord references and employment references. Only when an applicant has passed all of these checks and been agreed upon by you, will they be offered a tenancy.

Tenancies & Legislation

Dee Atkinson & Harrison are members of the government approved deposit scheme ‘The Dispute Service’. As such, you can be assured that your tenant’s deposit is dealt with professionally and that you, as a Landlord, are complying with all current legislation. If any dispute is raised at the end of the tenancy we take care of all aspects of this process. Our membership of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) is vital for landlords to be assured that all legal documents and notices are up to date with current legislation.

As members of the RICS and ARLA we are also covered by a Client Money Protection Scheme giving you the assurance that in the event of us having financial problems, all money belonging to our clients is held in a non-interest bearing account that can't be accessed by our creditors in settlement of money owed.
