TDS

TDS is one of the UK’s leading tenancy deposit protection and dispute resolution providers, supporting letting agents, landlords and tenants across the private rented sector. For over 20 years, we have worked hard to make deposit protection simpler, resolve disputes fairly and help raise standards through guidance, education, technology and customer support.

As a not-for-profit organisation, we reinvest in services that make renting work better for everyone. From our Insured and Custodial deposit protection schemes and free Alternative Dispute Resolution to TDS Academy training, integrated deposit management technology and support for agents navigating legislative change, our focus is on making life easier for property professionals and helping them deliver the best possible experience for landlords and tenants.

We are delighted to sponsor the Letting Agency of the Year Award at The Negotiator Awards 2026.

Letting agents play a vital role in the private rented sector, and the very best combine exceptional customer service with professionalism, expertise, innovation and a commitment to raising standards, qualities that closely reflect our own values at TDS.

By sponsoring this award, we want to celebrate agencies setting the benchmark for the industry – embracing change, investing in their people, supporting landlords and tenants, and continually looking for ways to deliver a better lettings experience.

We are proud to recognise those achievements and celebrate the businesses helping to shape a stronger, professional private rented sector. We wish every entrant the very best of luck and look forward to celebrating with this year’s finalists and winner.
