That's why every tenant we place is referenced thoroughly before they're offered the keys.</p><p><strong>How we reference at Chase Evans</strong></p><p>We partner with Goodlord, one of the UK's leading lettings technology providers. Having a partnership with Goodlord allows us to reference tenants using 'Trusted Sources', a secure verification system that connects directly to a tenant's bank, payroll provider, or HMRC record to confirm their income, savings, pensions, or benefits.</p><p>There are three routes to verification, and most tenants will use whichever fits their circumstances:</p><ul><li>Open Banking: A secure, regulated connection straight to the tenant's bank account, giving near-instant results with no paperwork at all.</li><li>Payroll verification: A direct link to UK payroll providers, confirming income, name, date of birth, and National Insurance number in seconds.</li><li>HMRC verification: Income and employment confirmed through government records, one of the most authoritative sources available.</li></ul><p style=\"margin-top:0in;\" start=\"1\" type=\"1\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Because the data comes straight from the source, there's nothing to hide and nothing to misplace. It's also more private for tenants than how things were typically done previously, as these connections are built on data minimisation, meaning we only ever see the income information needed to complete the reference, never a full bank statement or unnecessary personal details.</span></p><p style=\"margin-top:0in;\" start=\"1\" type=\"1\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><strong>What this means for you</strong></span></p><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">- Faster references: checks that used to take days now take minutes, so your property spends less time empty.</span>&nbsp;<br><span lang=\"EN-GB\">- Stronger fraud protection: income is confirmed at source, not taken on trust.</span>&nbsp;<br><span lang=\"EN-GB\">- Greater peace of mind: a tenant you can rely on, from day one.</span></p><p>All of this happens behind the scenes on every new tenancy we arrange for you, with nothing for you to do.</p><p><strong>Any questions?</strong></p><p>If you'd like to know more about how a tenant at your property was referenced, your property manager will be happy to talk it through.</p><p>And if you know someone who lets a property themselves and would value the same level of care, we'd be delighted if you recommended us.</p>","categories":"General","tags":"Lettings","embed_video_url":null,"slug":"great-tenancies-start-with-great-referencing","createdAt":"2026-10-23T14:55:40.323Z","post_on":"2026-10-23T11:00:00.000Z","banner_image":{"alternativeText":"","url":"https://ggfx-chaseevans.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/i/Why_we_reference_tenants_7228224292.jpg"},"author":null,"seo":{"title":"The importance of tenant referencing","keywords":null,"description":"Choosing the right tenant starts with the right checks.
