Homeppl, a Thirdfort business - the tenant referencing solution trusted by leading lettings professionals, has partnered with Konfir to integrate Instant Employment and Income Verification into its service. This collaboration enhances Homeppl’s ability to detect and prevent fraud while delivering a faster, fairer referencing experience for tenants and agents alike.
Tackling tenancy fraud with real-time verification
Tenancy fraud is a growing issue, costing landlords, agents, and communities millions each year. Homeppl is already recognised for its advanced fraud detection and inclusive referencing, ensuring genuine tenants are not locked out of the rental market. By embedding Konfir’s UK Government-Certified verification solution, Homeppl can now instantly validate employment and income directly from trusted and authoritative data sources, including Payroll & HMRC.
This reduces reliance on unverified documents, accelerates decision-making, and provides landlords and agents with confidence that tenant information is accurate and secure. For tenants, it means less back-and-forth, fewer delays, and a smoother path to moving in.
Leadership comments
Olly Thornton-Berry, CEO and Co-founder at Thirdfort, said: “Our mission has always been to protect society from fraud and money laundering. By partnering with Konfir, we add another layer of protection against tenancy fraud while ensuring the process is simpler and more accessible for genuine tenants. This is a powerful step forward in our fight against rental fraud.”
Chris Miligan, CEO of Konfir, added: “Employment and income verification is a critical part of referencing, but it has historically been slow and open to fraud. Homeppl, part of Thirdfort, is now able to bring Instant Verification technology into an ecosystem that’s redefining client due diligence across the property sector. By combining Konfir’s data with theirs, Homeppl is enabling letting agents, landlords, and tenants to benefit from faster, fraud-proof referencing within a single, integrated platform. This collaboration makes renting and property transactions safer, smarter, and more transparent for everyone involved.”
