Key points
Finalise the letting-agent request handoff
Reconcile each line of the agent's request with one file or one explicit clarification. Do not mark the handoff complete while a requested format or item remains ambiguous.
Useful context
Turn a letting-agent request into a final file checklist
The final review should preserve the agent's exact property-specific wording and separate confirmed items from questions.
The file check centres on the letting agent request decision during the final file review.
Working checklist
Keep letting-agent request traceable
Send one focused clarification for every ambiguous item.
Read the selected record itself before completing any part of the letting-agent request check.
- Agent: copy the agency or contact named on the request before turning its questions into checklist rows.
- Property: tie the entry to the current property rather than a previous application.
- Request wording: state the narrow question that this letting-agent request entry is intended to answer.
- Due point: record the date or stage by which the letting agent asked for the item, separately from any preferred submission timetable.
- Owner: assign every requested checklist item to the applicant expected to supply it.

Working checklist
Move from letting-agent request to application preparation
Retain enough context to reproduce the letting-agent request decision without reopening unrelated personal material.
Practical example
A renter's letting-agent request decision
The request email names three items and leaves one format unclear. The renter marks the three matched files as ready and keeps the fourth line open rather than importing a generic checklist.
