Meeting a potential tenant at their current home?

Hello, my current tenant at my last and only let property is leaving to buy a property and for various reasons I can’t sell.
When she was talking to a friend, she learned that her friend’s daughter is looking to move to the village to be close to her family.
My tenant showed her the house and she’s very interested.
I normally use a letting agent’s find a tenant service.
I’d like to meet this potential tenant in her current home to see how they have kept it, however when (quite a while ago) I previously suggested doing this, the letting agent told me I could not ask to do this.
Does anyone know of a reason why I couldn’t ask this? And do you think this is a reasonable request?
Thank you,
Kevin
