Hi all,
I'm a landlord in Bristol and I have a recurring problem that I need help with...
I've been using one of the major online renting websites to advertise my property. The only problem is that I get a lot of tenants book viewings who are not up to standard. A couple of times now, the tenant has viewed the property and said they would like it. But two weeks down the line when the checks come back, the references are bad or the guarantor doesn't exist etc. which means I need to re-advertise and start the whole process again. This doesn't just cost me my time but it also costs me rent as these delays have caused my property to be empty for a few weeks now.
How can I get around this? Is there an online website that spends more time in filtering out the bad tenants and only forwarding the best ones onto me? It takes the Michael a little bit too when the online company keeps the holding deposit from the tenant and doesn't pass any onto me when it's my property that remains unlet!!
Thanks,
Pete
