Our Landlord Services:​

Once the property is ready for letting, Tenant Link will find a highly vetted tenant that is suitable to the property. It is then up to the landlord to decide which avenue to pursue in relation to which management service is required.

With legislation and landlord’s responsibilities continually changing and tenants becoming more demanding, it is essential that an appropriate management package be devised to cater for the individual needs of each and every landlord. Tenant Link can tailor the ideal service package for you.

Tenant Link have the strongest commitment to quality and takes the landlord’s trust in us very seriously. We operate a strict code of practice ensuring customer excellence and continuity in all aspects of our everyday business, thereby giving landlords the peace of mind to fully appreciate the benefits of allowing Southampton’s premier lettings agency to deal with the renting of their property. In every instance Tenant Link treats a landlord’s property as if it were one of its own.

For those landlords who prefer to look after the day to day running of their property, the Let Only option is the ideal package when management is not required.

With the recent changes in the law, Tenant Link have identified that even the most experienced Landlords require additional help with managing their properties. Therefore we have created the Letting Only Plus to tailor make our services to suit the requirements of individual Landlords

Let Only Plus

We offer a comprehensive video inventory service recorded for you to watch at home. This records the exact condition internally and externally and utility meter readings of the property before the tenants move in. With the legislation regarding deposits, a comprehensive inventory is essential if you are to prove any damages.

As it is a legal requirement to protect any deposits received, we can assist in the registration process on behalf of landlords in setting up an account with the custodial scheme and forwarding the deposit into the scheme on their behalf in order to protect deposit. We can also arrange for all future payments to be paid directly to the landlord by standing order and ensure this is set up before the second month’s rent is due.
