    Tenant Vetting

    Tenant Vetting

    Ensuring you have the most appropriate Tenant living in your property is not only important, it is crucial;

    • To ensure regular income is obtained
    • To ensure the property is looked after as well as if you were living there
    • The Tenants fit with both your and their timescale

    The vetting process begins well before tenants make an offer and indeed before a prospective tenant even views.
