|---|---|---|

| Guarantor reference | A credit-backed affordability check on a guarantor standing behind the tenancy. | £19.99 |
| Credit-only check | Cheaper, but it needs the applicant’s date of birth, address history and explicit consent, so it is only available inside a LetCompliance account. | In an account |
Questions
Ordering a reference, answered
Last reviewed 16 September 2026
How much does a tenant reference cost?
A full tenant reference is £24.99 and a guarantor reference is £19.99: a single flat price per check, paid securely by card. There is no subscription and no account required to order one.
How long does a reference take?
Most references complete within 1 to 3 working days once the applicant has filled in their form. Speed depends on how quickly the applicant responds and how fast their employer or previous landlord replies. You are emailed when it is ready, with the outcome and a link to download the report.
What does a credit-backed reference check?
A full reference covers identity, a credit-backed affordability assessment against the rent, employment and income, and a previous-landlord reference where available. It is run through a regulated UK credit reference agency, so it is far more than a self-declared form.
Do you offer a cheaper credit-only check?
Yes. A credit-only check is cheaper, but because it needs the applicant’s date of birth, address history and explicit consent it is only available inside a LetCompliance account, where that data can be captured securely. The public order form offers the full and guarantor references, where the applicant supplies their own details directly.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can order a one-off reference here with no account and no subscription. If you manage more than the odd let, a LetCompliance account adds the credit-only check, can keep references against the tenant’s record, and runs rent, compliance and tax in one place.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. Payment is handled by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 provider, so we never see or store your card details. We only start the reference once your payment is confirmed.
