About UK Property Tribunal Search

With the law changing to make it increasingly impossible to remove rogue tenants, can you afford not to know if they have taken a previous landlord to Tribunal?

At UK Property Tribunal Search, we help UK real estate agents and landlords make more informed letting decisions by offering a unique and essential service: checking whether a prospective tenant has ever taken a former landlord to the UK First-tier Property Tribunal.

We understand how important it is to find reliable, trustworthy tenants. While many tools provide credit checks and rental history, they often overlook a critical detail - past tribunal actions! Our platform fills that gap by giving landlords and letting agents access to the 13,400+ records obtained from the UK property tribunal hearing files and updated with as many as 50 new case files weekly and over 2,000 in the last 12 months alone!

Whether you're managing a single property or an entire portfolio, our goal is to help you reduce risk, protect your investments and build long-term, amicable tenancies.

How did we come about?

We are a formally private landlords who decided to build this offering after a frustrating and eye-opening experience: being taken to Tribunal by tenants we had housed in good faith, in well-maintained, above standard accommodation.

What began as an honest oversight in navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape turned into a costly and protracted legal process, pursued not by vulnerable tenants seeking justice, but by individuals who saw an opportunity to take advantage of a one-sided tribunal process to gain an easy financial windfall.

Through that experience, we learned just how vulnerable landlords can be - not just to shifting rules and regulations but to coordinated claims, retrospective accusations and legal strategies that can feel deeply one-sided.

We also discovered how difficult it is to share information within the landlord community, even when the same tenants move from one property to the next, leaving behind a trail of conflict, false accusations and bad-faith claims.

This website was built to help change that. Our goal is simple: to provide a service for landlords and their agents to find out if a prospective tenants have taken legal action through the Property Tribunal, against their former landlord.

We believe in responsible renting and accept that landlords must uphold legal standards but we also believe that transparency goes both ways.

It’s about enabling informed decisions in a system that increasingly demands perfection from landlords while offering little in return when things go wrong. If you’ve ever been blindsided by a claim that you don't think is either fair or justified, you'll understand the value of being forewarned.

How does it work?

Our platform uses advanced AI-driven search tools to conduct thorough searches across the thousands of records from the UK's Property Tribunal. This includes scanning through the thousands of decisions and related landlord-tenant disputes, that we have collected and collated, to identify whether a prospective tenant has previously brought a case against a former landlord.

In addition to official Tribunal data, our system cross-references names and aliases against multiple online sources, including reviews and case mentions on websites associated with the increasingly large number of 'ambulance chasing' no-win, no-fee firms, like: 'Justice for Tenants' and other similar organisations. This helps uncover patterns where tenants may have repeatedly pursued claims, even where full Tribunal documentation may not be publicly available.

The process is fast, discreet and accurate. We rely solely on verified publicly available information, even if it is made deliberately difficult to search. We don't operate in speculation, just the facts and only return confirmed matches along with relevant case summaries and available documentation.

This enables landlords to make informed, balanced decisions based on a tenant’s known legal history, while still respecting the limits of data privacy and fairness.
