Don't just take our word for it

I have had occasion to use the deductions template twice, since the excellent course I attended with you in Birmingham, and both times successfully managed to avoid dispute. I also used the guides to manage landlords expectations, thank you!

Jason, Residential Lettings Partner

A great company to associate with, understanding of our business and the ever changing market. A valuable affiliation for us, that we clearly benefit from.

Ricky, Director of Lettings

During the traumatic event at the TDS Headquarters, despite the severity of the event services were resumed as normal almost immediately. Staff were in touch with updates and business as usual. I commend the attitudes and commitment of the staff and appreciate they were on hand to continue with their services even though they were going through a very rough time themselves.

Well done and a HUGE thank you for your continued service. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Saira, Property Management Manager, Leicester (Lettings Agency)

I have used TDS since it’s inception and still find it the best of the deposit providers.

Lettings Agent

I have used the Tenancy Deposit Scheme for numerous years. Whether I just need general advice or I need assistance logging a dispute they have always been helpful. I would always recommend them over other deposit schemes.

Siana, Lettings Agent
