Tenant Find for landlords in Washington
Letting a home in Washington and want a fixed-fee route to a referenced tenant without paying a percentage of rent? KeyMoment's Tenant Find service gives Washington landlords one clear fee, a documented process, and the final decision on every applicant.
£500 fixed-fee Tenant Find in Washington
KeyMoment offers a fixed-fee Tenant Find service to landlords letting a home in Washington. The fee is £500 per property and no VAT is currently charged. We prepare and market the property, handle enquiries and viewings, administer the application and referencing, and hand a fully documented applicant summary back to you. You retain the final decision on every applicant.
Who this is suitable for
Suitable for private landlords in Washington letting a family home on one of the villages or newer estates, a flat close to the Galleries, or a small portfolio where you want to keep day-to-day management yourself. Not suitable if you need us to hold client money, collect rent or manage the property after handover.

Rental appraisal
We prepare a rental appraisal for your Washington property based on location within the town, size, condition, EPC rating and current comparable lettings across Sunderland City Council's area. The appraisal is a suggested marketing rent, not a valuation or a guarantee.
Getting the property ready to let
Washington tenants expect the property to be clean, dry and safe on the day they view. Before we launch marketing we ask for evidence that the safety basics are in place.
- In-date gas safety certificate where applicable
- Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
- Energy Performance Certificate meeting current minimum standards
- Working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms as required
- Clean, presentable condition with any known repairs completed
Marketing and enquiries
We prepare photography-led particulars and list the property to attract enquiries from tenants searching for homes in Washington and across the wider Tyne and Wear area. Portal exposure depends on the marketing package agreed at instruction.
Viewing coordination
We coordinate accompanied viewings by appointment. Access arrangements are agreed with you in writing before marketing goes live so we never turn up unannounced.
Applications, referencing and your decision
For each interested applicant we run identity, Right to Rent, income affordability and previous tenancy checks through an established referencing provider. Guarantors are referenced on the same basis. We do not use protected characteristics and we do not apply blanket bans on benefit income or families with children.
Once referencing is complete we send a written applicant summary. The landlord retains the final decision on every applicant. We do not accept or reject tenants on your behalf.
