I wonder if I could trouble you experienced officienados out there for some advice.
I have a property ready to let out and am looking for some tenants. After 7 years of using agents, teh last time turned into a nightmare anyway - and I learned so much about the process that I am comfortable to do it myself for the next one.
A potential tenant came by yesterday to see my place and is very interested in going ahead - so I gave him the Tenant Verify Forms to fill in. However he advises me that:
1) He has only been in this country for 1 year - and does not have 3 years address history. He is from Poland.
2) He doesn't have a Bank Account as his Bank closed it due to some problems with direct debits not stopping and he now has to open another account - but he can't until he gets his new address. So its a catch 22 situation apparently.
All my instincts tell me to steer clear of this one with a bargepole - wondering what everyone else thinks. If he has a suitable a guarantor, would that make him a better risk?
Thanks in advance for your help.
