Do we have to use all three services?

No. Plenty of agents start with referencing alone. Use one service or all three; they share one login, one invoice and one support team, and nothing is bundled or committed.

Does the Money Laundering Regulations apply to a lettings business?

Lets of £10,000 or more a month fall under the regulations, and financial sanctions reporting applies whatever the rent. The platform keeps landlord and tenant checks on one record so a high-value let is handled the same way as a sale. We never promise a firm will pass an inspection; we make sure the file is complete and ready to show.

What does the tenant actually do?

They follow a link we email and text them: confirm who they are with a photo of their ID and a selfie, give their Right to Rent share code if they need one, connect their bank read-only or sign in to HMRC for their income, and tell us where they've lived. It takes most people 15 to 20 minutes on their phone.

Can we offer rent guarantee without referencing through Blinc?

Yes. Cover is bought per property, for any property on your books, at any time, and it doesn't matter who referenced the tenant. The policy requires that each tenant had a satisfactory reference, or meets its referencing and affordability criteria, which you confirm when you quote. Quoting from a Blinc reference group is simply quicker, because the rent, the property and the tenancy details are already there. An exclusion period applies at the start of a policy taken out mid-tenancy.

Will our landlords be sold to directly?

Only if you choose. The rent guarantee offer to a landlord goes out when you haven't bought cover for the tenancy, and it can be switched off for your company. A self-managing landlord can also use Blinc directly, but a landlord who uses you is pointed back to you.

Can we connect it to our CRM or lettings software?

Yes. Anyone can integrate with Blinc-UK. The Open API lets you start references and checks from your own software and have results pushed back, with a free sandbox to build against. Checks started through the API are billed exactly as they are in the platform.

Your week, covered

From applicant to protected tenancy, without leaving the platform

Each job a lettings branch does, and the part of Blinc that does it.

Reference every applicant

The most thorough reference we have ever built, driven by the tenant from their phone, for £8 per report. Certified digital ID with Right to Rent, open banking income, live HMRC data, Land Registry, PEP and sanctions, anti-fraud checks. Instant when the tenant connects their bank.

Explore referencing

Right to Rent, inside the reference or on its own

Every tenant reference includes a certified digital Right to Rent check, with the evidence kept on the file. For a renewal or a tenant you aren't referencing, run a standalone Right to Rent check instead, and we tell you when a time-limited right is about to run out.

AML where the regulations reach lettings

Lets of £10,000 or more a month fall under the Money Laundering Regulations, and financial sanctions screening applies whatever the rent. Landlord and tenant checks sit on one record, and the Land Registry title confirms the landlord owns the property you're letting.

Explore AML

Rent guarantee for your landlords

£100,000 rent guarantee and legal expenses insurance, from £20 a month including IPT, quoted by rent band straight from the reference group. Policy documents go to your landlord and the premium sits on your monthly invoice.

See cover and pricing

Landlords kept in the loop

Send a finished reference group to the landlord to approve from their phone. They see the outcomes and the certificates, never your reviewer's notes. Every property and landlord you've recorded is listed in one place, with its open groups and cover.

Tenants looked after after the reference

Once an applicant has submitted, they're offered optional contents insurance for their new home through our insurance partner. It's your call: the offer can be switched off for your company.

What tenants see

How a let runs

Three steps from offer to move-in

01
Add the property and the applicants
Property, rent and move-in date once, then each tenant and guarantor by name, email and mobile. Each gets a link and completes their part on their phone, with no passports to scan or payslips to chase in branch.
02
Results land as each step completes
Identity, income, credit and Right to Rent come back with a clear recommendation and every area rated. Anything that needs a closer look comes to you for review, and the evidence stays on the file for when a landlord asks how you checked.
03
Protect the tenancy and hand over
Quote rent guarantee for the landlord from the same group, send them the group to approve, and let the tenant pick up their contents cover. One login, one invoice, one team on the phone.

Your landlords, on your terms

Rent guarantee reaches your landlords the way you choose

Most agents sell rent guarantee as part of their service. For the tenancies where you haven't, the platform can make the offer for you, or stay silent.

If you haven't bought cover for a tenancy, the landlord can be offered rent guarantee by email once every reference in the group has an outcome. It stops the moment you buy cover.
The offer only goes out if you want it to: it can be switched off for your company, and every email has a no-thanks link.
A policy a landlord buys is paid to Blinc by the landlord and never appears on your invoice.
