Meet our student support service
For most students, renting a shared house at university will be their first experience of being a tenant and taking on the responsibility of their own home. To help ensure their first tenancy is a great one, we offer extra help and support in addition to everything outlined above:
- Tenancy periods coinciding with the academic year
- Termly rent instalments timed to coincide with student loan payments
- Guarantor system to avoid the need for students to produce tenant references or credit checks
- Guidance and advice on basic care and maintenance of their home, including seasonal reminder emails - covering everything from when to put bins out to how to avoid burst pipes
- Fully furnished properties that are licensed as ‘Houses in Multiple Occupation’ – meaning they meet even higher standards of safety and are equipped with the higher number of appliances, bathrooms, power sockets etc. that a group of sharers require
- The option of a ‘bills inclusive’ package to avoid having to divide bills between the household, read meters or deal with utility companies
- The option to enjoy big discounts on personal possessions insurance and at local restaurants and businesses through our Purple Pass
One of the best agents around. Always top service provided and kept informed and in the loop at all times.
From a business perspective Tomlinson Estates are immaculate! They deliver on time (rare these days) they are efficient and have always let my property ahead of schedule each and every year. If they say they will ring you back they do and if any problems arise with maintenance etc they deal with the matter in a professional and economical way. Whilst still remaining professional ALL the staff go beyond the norm, they have a sense of humour (always an asset) are very welcoming and they even give me lifts into town to go shopping when I visit! I can't recommend them highly enough!
Tomlinson's offer an extremely professional and high quality service. They respond rapidly to any questions and issues and the team are very friendly, especially Iwona who I regularly communicate with!
A really great, proactive team that has been a credit to manage my properties. What more can I say.
I have dealt with Tomlinsons for more than a decade as both a landlord & a building contractor - I find them to be ethical, professional, efficient & friendly.
