Western Lettings Partners with CreditLadder

Letting agent Western Lettings partners with CreditLadder

Western Lettings in Glasgow is delighted to announce a new partnership with rent reporting platform CreditLadder.

We realise that for nearly all tenants, rent is their biggest monthly expense. What comes as a surprise for most people is that unlike on time mortgage payments, on time rent payments are not added to an individual’s credit score. A healthy credit history is vital for us all as it helps secure better deals on credit cards, loans, utility bills, and even mobile phone contracts.

The great news is we’ve teamed up with CreditLadder who are the UK’s first and biggest rent reporting platform. Our partnership with CreditLadder helps our tenants sign up to CreditLadder for free and ensure that rent payments are added to every tenant’s Experian credit history.

In August, CreditLadder were the biggest winners of HM Treasury’s Rent Recognition Challenge (RRC) and to date over £30m in rent payments have been reported through to Experian.

“We’re delighted to be working with Western Lettings. They’ve been keen to help reward on time rent payments from tenants and our partnership will help ensure even more tenants can benefit from rent reporting’ says CreditLadder CEO Sheraz Dar.

Jack Gallagher said, “Here at Western Lettings we know it’s important to help tenants as much as we can, so the partnership with CreditLadder means their on-time rent payments make a real difference to their credit history. It’s also a great way to help attract responsible tenants which is also great news for all our landlords”

In further good news, moves are afoot to ensure rent payments (and council tax payments) are always taken into account when lending decisions are made. John Bird, the founder of The Big Issue, has been leading the way and his Credit Worthiness Assessment Bill is now going through the House of Commons. The proposed legislation aims to make rental payments a compulsory part of a credit score. We think this is good news all round for all our tenants and landlords.

I had one flat, managed by Western Lettings, which lasted almost 6 years. I never felt having the one flat, that I was treated any different to a person having many properties. The whole experience was excellent. All the staff were happy to help with any requests. Problems were dealt and communication between me and the tenant through the staff was prompt and professional. I would recommend Western Lettings to anyone looking to rent out a property

★★★★★ Special thanks to KIRSTY and SARAH!!! What an excellent service they've provided as our letting agent!! Their expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism have made our rental experience seamless and enjoyable. Their portal to report complaints works seamlessly, moreover they get it fixed promptly.House leaving process was also seamless, unlike other landlords/letting agents who put unnecessary charges/fees and try to steal your safe deposits, Western Lettings did not charge me for cleaning fees. However we left the house in well condition.

As a new landlord, I wanted to make sure I chose the right letting agency to represent me. I'm happy with the values Western Lettings have displayed in the first few months.The process of setting up the property and securing tenants was made straightforward and they communicated well throughout.There was only a slight hiccup with being double billed for the cleaning fee, which took a little time to resolve. A maintenance issue was also raised by the tenants, which I'm waiting to see quotes from their chosen contractor for.So far I have every faith they will resolve the maintenance issue to a high standard deserving of the 5th star

I've been using Western Lettings for over a year now and I'm so glad I chose them.Exceptionally high standards in terms of professionalism and customer service.They always respond to emails within about ten minutes and phone calls are always answered.I wish more companies had their ethos and standards.I honestly can't fault them.It's a small price to pay so I can sleep easier and not worry about my property.Many thanks to the team and their great leader, Jack.

Responsive, polite, efficient, trustworthy. I cannot rate Western Lettings highly enough. As a landlord, I have been very satisfied with their services and grateful when they have organised repairs, gas checks etc for reasonable fees.
