I like the tenant pool in the area (working class, many immigrants) which tend not to cause many headaches for landlords. 

We sold it to a nice couple, immigrants from Nigeria, and sometimes, while driving to other properties, I would pass by that house.

Immigrants come here and through nothing more than perseverance and hard work become successful. 

Let's say you got 2 prospective tenants who tell you that they are undocumented immigrants and have not social security numbers.

I even come from an immigrant culture that does this work as a matter of course.

A TT fee (telegraphic bank transfer) is usually around £22.50 but some banks will charge more or less for it.What the aggregators do, or the people who run the comparison sites, is to provide the solicitor with a matrix of costs and bandings to apply to house prices within certain price bands and the costs and fees are normally applied from accessing the matrix data to generate your online quote.

Who knows though...maybe immigration will loosen up, birthrates spike from the boom we're seeing, any number of things could happen to keep values high. 

But it does happen with immigrants who do not speak English and are reliant on third parties to translate and sign things for them.

They have a good idea who pays quickly, who cheats on permits, who hires illegal immigrants, who likes lawsuits, who inherited the company and is riding on "Pop's" coattails, which companies are staffed by stoners, who is cheating on taxes, and who can run a job and get work done on time. 

What if it is the case the tenant is a relatively new immigrant and does not have many previous landlord references ?
