Southampton is a lively city that has grown bigger and bigger over the years and with it, its residential area has increased dramatically in size.
 
Southampton’s residential area is hugely popular with families, students and professional business people alike. The University in Southampton attracts a huge number of students every year and each and every one of them needs somewhere to live. Not all students want to live in the ‘halls’ and a specialist letting agent like Tenant Direct can help them find appropriate accommodation in the right area of the city.
 
Tenant Direct have an up to the minute database of residential properties to let and they guarantee that each and everyone has been safety checked and comes complete with the relevant gas and electrical safety check certificates.

Southampton's residential areas are a popular choice with landlords too who have property they are looking to rent out, the population is forever expanding, not only with students, but nurses, business people and families looking to relocate.
 
Families wishing to move to Southampton quite often look for a residential home to let before deciding whether they want to move there on a permanent basis. Nurses may only want to complete one year of their training in the area and would rather stay in a shared house in Southampton’s residential area with other colleagues instead of living in a one bedroom bed-sit. Speaking to a company like Tenant Direct and using their knowledge of the area can speed up the process immensely and help find the perfect residential home that’s required.

By 2026 it is expected that Southampton will need around 80,000 new homes built to keep up with the demand, this is a great opportunity for prospective landlords to seize and grab the potential rental income that can be generated from these new residential homes.
 
The long term South East Plan published by SEERA identifies Southampton and Portsmouth as priority areas. There is going to be more land given over to offices and manufacturing, creating more job opportunities leading to more people needing somewhere to live.  Southampton’s residential area will extend making it a ‘win win’ situation for the landlord and should mean more properties coming onto the market for prospective tenants.
