Tenant Selection | Why It Goes Wrong and How The Avenue Gets It Right

Lettings should feel simple, transparent and stress free, yet many landlords tell us the opposite. If you’re tired of chasing updates or repeating yourself to different people, this will help you understand why it happens and how The Avenue makes communication effortless.

Many landlords join us with the same problem.
Their agent chose the wrong tenant.

Has this happened to you?
Do you know how your agent checks tenants?
Have you ever seen their full process?

Problems happen when agents
  • Rush to fill the property
  • Tick boxes instead of doing real checks
  • Skip long term suitability
  • Accept the first applicant
This can cause
  • Missed rent
  • Damage
  • Stress
  • Longer voids



How The Avenue Gets It Right


We choose tenants carefully because the right one protects your income.

Our process includes:
  • Checks before any viewing
  • Full referencing beyond the basics
  • Matching for long term fit
  • Director approval on every tenant

Ask yourself:

Has your agent ever shown you their checks?
Do you know why your current tenants were approved?

Our method leads to
  • Reliable tenants
  • Longer stays
  • Better property care

Rightmove’s December 2025 House Price Index gives us a clear picture of a market that slowed towards the end of the year — but one that is quietly setting itself up for a stronger start to 2026.

If your home is already on the market, January is one of the most important moments of your entire selling journey. In this article we explain why early year buyer behaviour changes everything and how sellers who adapt now often succeed where others stall.

Mortgage rates and affordability shape everything in 2026. In this article we explain what January is telling us about buyer confidence, borrowing power and why understanding your numbers early gives you a huge advantage.
