The importance of thorough tenant screening and how a letting agency can help

In this short article we identify the importance of tenant verification when it comes to letting out your property

As an Attleborough landlord, finding the right tenants for your property is essential for a successful and stress-free rental experience. Unfortunately, it can be complex and challenging to screen tenants thoroughly on your own, and making a mistake in your tenant selection process can lead to costly and time-consuming issues down the road. 

That's where a letting agency can help.

A professional letting agency has the resources and expertise to thoroughly screen potential tenants, including conducting background checks and employment verification. This not only helps ensure that you are finding reliable and trustworthy tenants, but it also protects your property and investment.

Additionally, a letting agency can handle all of the paperwork and legalities involved in the rental process, saving you time and hassle. They can also provide ongoing support and assistance with any issues that may arise during the tenancy.

If you want to feel confident in your tenant selection and have a smooth and successful rental experience, consider using a letting agency. Our team at Millbanks is dedicated to providing top-notch service to our Attleborough landlords and tenants.

A new £2m-plus home surcharge is billed as progressive, but its impact falls mainly on London and the South East, where many owners now face an annual bill from 2028. Critics warn it punishes long-term residents, cools the prime market and deepens regional divides, even as households weigh downsizing. Many fear a new cliff edge at £2m too.

Some homes sell swiftly while others linger, quietly slipping from view. The gap isn’t chance, it’s sellability. Price, presentation, and guidance decide who wins attention early and who stalls. Understanding what makes a home irresistible can turn uncertainty into momentum.
