This is because dodgy tenants TEND to avoid going through letting agents because of the stringent checks most make. However, agents don't come cheap, so I think that a good and much cheaper alternative is to let privately and back it up with Landlord Rent Guarantee & legal Expenses Insurance. Apart from the fact that your rent will be paid in the event that the tenant defaults, all these policies require id and referencing, - so that in itself is an added protection!
