Hi Emma,

I have never dealt with Letting agents so can't help you there but, we are looking for a house to rent. What kind of property would you like to rent out. We would like to rent a house with at least four bedrooms in Haringey or close. 

Please PM me if you like.

Con

I have found Barbara Gibson in Highgate to be good. They cover most North London areas.

I have 3 rental property’s. And I have given up using an high street agent due to high commissions and not referencing well enough. I simply use a on-line agent to get it into rightmove/zoopla and organise an open day. I have always managed to rent all of my properties within 4 hours of an open day and the online agent does some of the referencing (credit checks/ affordability rating) and contract. All for about £100.

Ohh if you do your own references the best one I have found is to ask for a managers reference and then google the company and phone the switchboard and ask to speak to that person. I’ve cought someone out doing this. It turns out they were not in employment which by itself isn’t a problem but the fact they lied is.

If they are in a tech role, the you will "catch people out" with this too. Tech staff don't usually have desk phones and no communication is passed from reception to them. Except when a pre-arranged visitor has arrived.

This is due to the sheer number of recruiter spammers taking up valuable time.
