Anyone know how long an estate agent will take to run a credit check on a prospective tenant?



I'm starting the stressfull time of being said tenant tomorrow. To say this is causing stress and a hole whost of other feelings is putting it mildy.

A week to a couple unless you paid for the express service which is a few days IIRC

you want to know what it feels like having a tenant not paying rent and the mortgage still has to be paid!!

Depends on the agent. Some just take your cash and give you a pass. Been on both sides of the fence. Some agents just see the £££

No I don't :P


Cash is waiting, and the agent has said a check will be done. I can aprreciate they want to check out, I'd jut like to know time scales. My current lease expires 1st March.

****ers knocked me back when i first moved out my parents house a few years back

then came back to me and said they wanted a guarantor + 2 months rent in advance as a bond


reminds me, the garantor is dead now so god knows what happens when its up for renewal in 3 months time

scooby2!

Paid money for my "checks" to be done and had reply within 24 hours!

Agent should be able to confirm the length of wait!
