Let Alliance Offers Unique Proposition for Letting Agents in Scotland

Let Alliance, the specialist rental services provider, has created a new tenant referencing scheme for letting agents in Scotland,providinga solution to the new legislation that prevents let­ting agents charging tenants fees.

This proposition removes the administration burden from letting agents, reduces costs, delivers world-class service to tenants and generates an income stream for the agent.Let Alliance understand the importance of comprehensive tenant referencing to secure good tenants and keep landlords happy with strong covenants.

Prospective tenants have the choice of dealing directly with Let Alliance, meaning the specialist service provider will completeits ‘Ultimate’ tenant reference on behalf of the tenant and letting agent.

Let Alliancewill then charge the prospective tenant directly for the service and return the referencing report to the letting agent and the tenant simultaneously.

Of course every tenant has a choice. Tenants are not compelled to deal with Let Alliance - they can complete the referencing process independently. Let Alliance provides a guide for tenants showing exactly what itcan do for them and what they will need to complete independently if they choose to do so.

However, the referencing process is onerous and Let Alliance’s experience throughout a 4 month trial shows that most tenants would prefer to pay its fixed fee and benefit from its efficient service.

Andy Halstead, Founder and CEO at Let Alliance, said: “I am very close to the letting agent marketplace in Scotland and have many friends and associates whose businesses have had a tough time dealing with the legislation that stops agents charging tenants for services that they need. At Let Alliance we have made it our business to help in every way that we can. Our new proposition gives tenants valuable choice, support and an outstanding service whilst reducing the administration burden on agents’ businesses and allowing them to earn a valuable revenue stream from us. Everybody wins.”
