I'm afraid the ARLA thing guarantees absolutely nothing. I spent the last 3 months using a huge agency, which an ARLA member, and in 3 months they put forward 3 candidates, the first of which was a bankrupt (under circumstances which made no sense) and his wife, and joint tenant, claimed to own a small business but had no idea how much she earned, without asking her accountant. A simple Google search revealed that the second candidate had been prosecuted for property fraud, the third candidate told glaring lies in his references, and then fourth candidate claimed he had sold his house for £1M +, (and therefore, rather conveniently, could not provide a previous landlord reference) but it later turned out that when he said he had sold the house, he meant he had received an offer for the house, and therefore had no money but stated his intention to move into my property anyway. He also had 3 large dogs and a long list of alterations he wanted made to the house, including concreting the driveway, which he wanted me to pay for. In other words, the agent was not only not vetting tenants, and leaving me to do it myself (presumably hoping that I was too naive to do it properly, so they could get their commission ASAP) but were actively putting forward wildly dangerous tenants, and when I finally put that to them, they turned the tables and tried to blame me. They were the second ARLA accredited agents I used - the first signed me up and I never heard from them again.
