1. How to create a reference

Step 1: Within the tenancy click on More>References

 

Step 2: Next page, will show pricing> select tenancy>Continue. The price will depend on which package you are on (Standard, Professional or Enterprise). *If a reference is cancelled you will still be charged*

 

Step 3: This will take you through to the application to be sent on. *Because we integrate to a third party most of the data is provided. There are some areas that require some attention. These include:

  • Asterisks (Building No.; Rental period)
  • Changes required (Show details)

*Rental period and rent below is effectively a measure of affordability

2. How to track a reference

Either go into the tenancy>tenancy reference or see tenancies>tenancy reference (list all references)

 

 

 

“More info” will show the progress log and the handler notes  shown below

 

 

Handler notes. *  There may be no notes coming in from ATR if users have responded to each automated request for information on them and their employer, without the need to be chased. The ATR team put notes like “Chased tenant for bank statements but left a message on voicemail” and may do this 4 times in a day (in theory) and this is so the agent can see chasing is being done and may want to step in and mention to the tenant the outstanding, or even advise when the tenant calls them for progress, rather than think that nothing is being done.

5. How to cancel a reference

Go to the reference and cancel it. You may be charged by the referencing company if to much work has been done. Please speak to them to find out. A cancelled reference cannot be re-opened so please start the process again if you need to re-open.
