Can I verify a Landlord of a property?
Yes you can.
However it is recommended that you onboard them "in platform" as opposed to sending them a digital onboarding invite.
This means that you will complete the risk assessment yourself and then choose a route based on their risk level to complete the required due diligence.
The reason we suggest this method is that the risk assessment questions are aimed for property sales / purchases, and not lettings.
If you are going to onboard a Landlord, onboard them as if they are the Vendor and use the rental property address to create the transaction. Then add the landlord's correspondence address as where they live / are registered for electoral role purposes.
This will ensure that the the Title Register will confirm ownership by the landlord, and that the residential checks will place them living at their current address.
We would recommend using Route A and order a Full Electronic Confirmation and then add any documentation requested to complete the due diligence.
However, you can send a Biometric Online ID Verification if you wish.
