We all love the summer but for many agents it’s their busiest time. Factor in staff annual leave plus applicants who are away, and staying on top of your business can quickly become a challenge.

As specialists to the lettings industry, we understand the issues and are here to help.

The number 1 priority is to prepare your applicants before they go away 

It’s easy to avoid delays if applicants know exactly what they need to provide in advance.

Students should have their Student Finance Award Letter for the upcoming academic year.

Employed should provide their authorisation to their referee to release a reference in advance, making sure that the referee given is going to be available. Employer on holiday/school closed etc? Make sure they have their 6 months’ bank statements and pay slips ready.

Starting new employment: Have the new employers contact details and a copy of the new contract ready.

Self-employed applicants should have their most recent tax return ready to submit.

Guarantors should know what details are needed and have them ready.

Take advantage of our intuitive cloud-based system

You and your applicants can keep in touch and communicate from anywhere in the world, via smartphone, tablet or laptop. Photographs of documents and screenshots of online bank statements make admin tasks a breeze.

Going to be abroad and don’t want the international call rates? The fastest way of getting information to the person completing your reference is to email the unique reference email address "reference.[111*****]@refsys.rent4sure.co.uk".

Just want a quick update on the progress of your reference? Avoid the queue when calling and check out the live notes system, it will have all the most up to date information on your reference, available on your agent suite.

Have simple question on what is generally needed to reference your applicant? We now have available a Referencing Guide available under the ‘Help’ section of your agent suite for the most common scenarios.

To get the full benefits of our innovative system, make sure your staff familiarise themselves with procedures. It’s intuitive and easy – but your Business Development Manager can advise if there’s anything you’re unsure of.

Save time by using direct submission

Applicants complete all the relevant details and upload documents themselves instantly, via any device. You can order additional checks at this point, so they can get underway even before the application form has been submitted. We send all the links and reminders, so you don’t have to worry.
