Lettings services provider Goodlord has become the National Residential Landlord Association’s (NRLA) official and exclusive referencing partner.
The NRLA will be the first Goodlord partner to use Goodlord’s new Public Referencing API – integrating Goodlord’s referencing directly into NRLA’s platform.
NRLA customers will benefit from Goodlord’s PRO referencing service (NRLA full reference), which offers comprehensive tenant references, including checks for anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEPs), and ID verification. Goodlord’s anti-fraud technology also allows references to be completed within 24 hours on average by directly accessing information from trusted sources like banks, payroll providers, and HMRC, reducing risk and removing the need for tenants to supply their own documents.
William Reeve, chief executive at Goodlord, said: “The NRLA provides a backbone of support across the PRS. They are unwavering champions of the sector and always committed to advancing it for the better. We’re therefore very excited to partner with them and, through our newly launched API service, to support the referencing needs for their landlords. This collaboration will bring a huge range of benefits to landlords across the country; driving up compliance and driving down stress at a critical time for the market”.
Ben Beadle, chief executive at the NRLA, added: “Landlords need to have the confidence that their tenants have been carefully referenced and vetted, particularly at a time when compliance requirements are becoming more complex and the risk of fraud is on the rise.”
“By partnering with Goodlord, we can give our members access to cutting-edge technology that delivers reliable and secure referencing for our members”.
