Tenant Find in Acklam
You've got an empty property in Acklam — your tenant find service needs to work fast, and it needs to work right. We source the tenants; you keep the stress off your plate.
Why Tenant Find in Acklam Matters
Acklam sits in the heart of TS5 and TS7 — two of the strongest postcodes for Middlesbrough rental yield. Empty properties cost money every day. The longer your unit sits vacant, the more ground you lose. Bad tenants cost far more than good ones: late payments, damage, eviction fees. That's why we screen hard. Around 40% of applicants don't make it past our referencing stage. We do the work so you don't have to wade through unsuitable candidates.
What's Included
Advertising on major portals — We list on Rightmove, Zoopla, SpareRoom, and direct channels. Your property gets seen by genuine renters, not tire-kickers.
Income and employment verification — We confirm the applicant's salary and employment history with their employer. No payslips? No proceed.
Credit and affordability screening — We run a full credit check and stress-test the rent against their income. If they can't comfortably afford it, we move on.
Viewings and interviews — We schedule the property visits, attend them, and assess fit. You don't have to entertain unsuitable candidates.
Right to Rent checks — We verify their immigration status before tenancy starts. £20,000 fine risk if you miss this; we don't.
Pricing and Process
Tenant Find is a one-off fee — no monthly charge, no tying you into ongoing management. We typically find the right tenant within two weeks, though speed varies with the rental amount and local demand. At each stage (shortlist, references, final approval) you'll be updated. You approve the candidate before we proceed. The fee is [STAT NEEDED]; it's fixed regardless of timeline. Once we've agreed the tenant and they've passed checks, you or your solicitor will draft the formal agreement and arrange deposit protection. From there it's yours to manage, or you can switch to our full management service at any point.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does it usually take to find a tenant in Acklam?
A: We find the right tenant in around two weeks on average. TS5 and TS7 are both active rental markets, so good properties move quickly. If your unit is priced slightly above market or has specific requirements, it may take three to four weeks.
Q: Will I be involved in the viewings?
A: You approve the final candidate before the tenancy starts. You don't have to attend viewings or negotiate terms — we handle that legwork. If you want to see the property pics or chat to the candidate, we can arrange it.
Q: What happens if nobody suitable passes our checks?
A: We keep the property listed and keep marketing. We don't rush you into a dodgy tenant just to hit a deadline. If it's taking longer than expected, we'll flag it — sometimes dropping the rent £20–30/month opens up the pool.
Q: Do you handle the tenancy agreement and deposit?
A: We source the tenant and negotiate terms. For the formal tenancy agreement and deposit protection scheme, you'll either instruct a solicitor or handle it yourself. If you'd like ongoing rent collection and maintenance coordination after that, we manage 125 properties across TS1, TS3, TS5, and TS7 — we can take it on.
Q: What checks do you actually run?
A: Credit check, employment verification, landlord references if they've rented before, Right to Rent verification, and affordability assessment. Around 40% of applicants don't make it to offer stage — that's the filter working.
