Letting Agent Client Check
Tenant + landlord compliance plus the property-risk overlay nobody else ships, in one signed audit-grade PDF.
What it does
The only letting-agent client-check that overlays property-risk data on the same record as the AML / sanctions / PEP / UBO screen. Tenant + landlord compliance (OFSI/UN/EU sanctions plus OpenSanctions PEP and adverse-media catalogues, PSC tree + UBOs for corporate landlords) joined with a property-risk pack (flood, radon, coal mining, contaminated land, knotweed, MEES verdict + upgrade payback, crime by category with 12-month sparkline + 3-month direction-band forecast, composite A-F neighbourhood index) no Lane-1 compliance peer ships on a letting-agent flow. One POST returns combined JSON plus a signed audit-grade PDF, ready for the agent's client file. Audit-trail-ready for HMRC inspection under MLR-2017; meets LSAG-2025 expectations for tenant + landlord screening; surfaces tenant-safety + landlord-conversation signals (MEES payback, ownership-velocity flag, fresh/stale sanctions listing, PEP→adverse-media cross-reference) the competitors leave out.

How we compare
| Provider | Entry price | Where they fall short |
|---|---|---|
| SmartSearch (Letting Agent module) | ~£3-5 per check | Bundled into a wider KYC suite; no integrated property snapshot |
| Veriphy | ~£4 per check | Sanctions+PEP only; no MEES or property crime |
| Credas | subscription | Subscription floor; less suited to ad-hoc per-let checks |
Reliability you can build on
Built on the same AWS infrastructure that runs UK banks and government services. Engineered for the kind of always-on availability your compliance workflow expects.
Target 99.9% uptime
Stack uptime is governed by AWS API Gateway (99.95%), Lambda (99.95%) and DynamoDB (99.99%) SLAs. We target 99.9% end-to-end, which works out at roughly 8 hours of downtime per year, worst case.
Hosted in London (eu-west-2)
Single-region UK hosting for low latency to UK customers and predictable data residency. Median response under 250ms; 5-minute response cache absorbs upstream blips.
Idempotent + cached
Repeat lookups within 5 minutes are served from cache, so transient FCA upstream issues don't propagate to you. Bulk endpoint runs with bounded concurrency to never overrun the source.
Contractual SLA on Pro
Pro plan includes a 99.9% uptime commitment, priority support with response in under 4 hours (UK business hours), and a private Slack channel for incident escalation.
Live status visibility lands with the public dashboard. Full incident history available to Pro customers on request.

Why this pricing?
At £4.95 per full check we match Veriphy and undercut SmartSearch's per-check pricing while bundling property due-diligence (MEES, EPC, crime breakdown) the competitors don't surface in one transaction. Letting agents pay per let, not per month, so PAYG fits the workflow. The £19.99/mo monitoring tier (W7) is a separate subscription and gives recurring revenue against the agent's tenant and landlord book.
