The webinar, entitled “How to spot the latest trends of fraudulent tenant applications and stay ahead of the criminals to keep your landlords safe and your business reputation intact” will share insight and tips from industry experts on how fraudsters are getting smarter, and ways to combat them. It kicks off a three-part series of free webinars for agents from Let Alliance, HomeLet, Rent4Sure and Agent Rainmaker.
Right now, we’re seeing a huge increase in fraudsters taking advantage of agents and landlords across the UK.
Fraudsters are capitalising on the rental industry and damaging the reputations of agents, landlords are suffering at the hand of criminal activity and sub-letting is leading to agents and landlords losing out on thousands of pounds.
This is why three leading property experts with over 50 years of experience decided to run this webinar. Some seriously concerning trends are appearing and they need to be shared, discussed and recognised to protect our industry.
As demand for property soars and rental prices rise, tenancy fraud is becoming more profitable and many more chancers want to get in on the act. They’ll use any opportunity, and we’re seeing increasingly sophisticated methods used to obtain access to properties to support criminal activity or sublet illegally/
The webinar will discuss:
- Tips to detect and avoid fraudsters
- Real-life case studies and examples of fraudulent tenant applications
- Actions agents can take to prevent fraud
