The starting point in qualifying tenant leads is getting them to fill out the RentDirectUK ‘tenant prospect qualifying form’. The ‘tenant prospect qualifying form’ asks the prospective tenant a series of very important questions relating to their housing needs, their income, employment status,  their status in UK- British citizen, on a student visa, temporary worker etc, how soon they want to move and whether they are able to provide references. From this completed form we are able to analyse the information provided and make an informed opinion based on our years of being in the lettings market the seriousness of wanting to rent by the prospective tenant, their ability to pay the rent and determine that they can prove who they are.

 Those that fill in our form are beyond the “just looking” phase and intend to rent a house relatively soon.

At RentDirectUK all our leads have been qualified, all tenant leads are analysed and rated. RentDirectUK analyses key characteristics to determine the quality of any tenant lead. All prospective tenants complete a ‘tenant prospect qualifying form’. The tenant prospect qualifying form probes the key characteristics that determine a good tenant lead. The key characteristics that are scrutinised are Need, Affordability, Authority, proof of identity.

By assessing the tenant lead- need, affordability, authority to rent and proof of identity and by asking the  basic qualifying questions as mentioned earlier RentdirectUK is able to determine whether a prospect is ready, willing, and able to rent your property:

We have developed a grading system; rating tenant leads as poor, warm, hot and smoking hot. We highly recommend landlords to concentrate first and foremost on warm to hot tenant leads and advise against dealing with the poor tenant leads.

We rate all our leads into four categories

We let you see our tenant leads before you pay for them so you'll know what you'll get - no one else does that! We rate all our leads into four categories

The only thing we don't show is the contact details of the tenant lead until you purchase one of our packages, but if you like what you see, you'll get all the contact details in a click of the mouse when you pay up.

While no lead provides a gift wrapped tenant ready to sign on the dotted line, a rentdirectUK tenant lead does provide an interested tenant who has responded to a response-geared marketing piece of advertising precisely because they are looking to rent a similar property to the one being offered by you.

Tenants prefer renting direct from landlords, also there is the problem that free classified sites
unfortunately are not managed in the way Rentdirectuk is. Both inaccurate and out-dated information is widespread there plus the fact you find scammers and con artists using it to fleece both tenants and landlords of hundreds of pounds. 

We don’t allow estate agents on our site so you won’t be competing for tenants directly with them. It takes around 1.5 -3 weeks from purchasing a subscription to having a tenant moving in (subject to viewings made asap and contracts signed soon after)
