    PropertyGoose's 48-hour turnaround is deliberately conservative — the wait is applicants completing their reference forms, not our processing, which runs fast, 7 days a week.

    Competitor information is sourced from each provider's public website and published materials as of June 2026; where a provider does not publish pricing, that is stated as such. PropertyGoose figures are our published pay-as-you-go (£14/reference) and annual (£29.50/tenancy/year) pricing, plus VAT. Comparison is positional, not evaluative — PropertyGoose makes no representations about competitors' service quality.
