How We Research and Rank Letting Agents

AgentCheck is an independent comparison platform. The information on this page is compiled from multiple verified sources and scored algorithmically — no agent can pay for a higher position. Below is a full account of our methodology so you can assess the data for yourself.

How Rankings Are Determined

Each agent receives a composite score from six objective signals:

  1. Proximity — geographic distance from the searched postcode or area centre.
  2. Google rating — star rating sourced from Google Places; higher ratings score more highly.
  3. Review count — the volume of Google reviews, indicating an established track record.
  4. Profile completeness — agents who have submitted fee data, service descriptions, and contact details score higher than those with incomplete profiles.
  5. Verified / claimed status — agents who have claimed their listing through AgentCheck receive a modest boost, reflecting higher confidence that data is current and accurate.
  6. Response time — where enquiry response data is available, faster response times contribute a small positive signal.

Data Sources

  • Agent Self-Submissions: Letting agents provide their fee schedules, service inclusions, and business details directly through the AgentCheck platform. Submitted data is reviewed editorially before publication.
  • Google Places API: Business ratings, review counts, address, and contact details are sourced from the Google Places API and cross-checked against agent-provided data.
  • Public Rental Market Data: Average rent and yield figures are derived from publicly available property market datasets and are reviewed periodically for accuracy. They are indicative and may not reflect micro-local variation.
  • Local Authority Licensing Registers: Selective licensing and HMO licensing information is sourced from publicly available local authority publications and the MHCLG selective licensing database where available.
  • Direct Landlord Enquiries: Anonymised demand signals from landlord search and enquiry patterns on AgentCheck are used to calibrate the investor demand score for each area.

Limitations & Disclaimers

  • Coverage: Listings are most comprehensive in areas where five or more agents have been indexed. In smaller or rural markets the list may not be exhaustive.
  • Yield & rent figures: Average yield and rent statistics are indicative. Actual investment returns depend on property type, condition, tenant profile, and local micro-conditions that aggregate data cannot capture.
  • Google reviews: Review counts and ratings reflect publicly submitted Google reviews across all aspects of an agent's service and may include reviews unrelated to lettings specifically.
  • Fee data currency: Agent fee data reflects the most recently submitted figures. Always request a written fee schedule directly from any agent before signing a management agreement.
  • Unverified agents: Some agents have been discovered from public sources but not yet claimed or formally verified. Data accuracy for unclaimed profiles depends on public source quality.

Review Cadence & Editorial Independence

Area pages are reviewed by a property specialist every six months, or sooner where significant market changes are detected. The date of the most recent review is shown above.

AgentCheck is independently operated. Rankings are produced algorithmically from objective signals. No agent can pay for a higher position. Agents may subscribe to premium features (such as enhanced profile display), but subscription status does not alter the underlying ranking score. Editorial content is produced without commercial direction from any individual agent or industry body.
