Furthermore, we have a presence on Pinterest and LinkedIn.
Sign boards
We have newly designed For Sale and To Let boards in London Link’ distinctive brand and eye-catching colours, which can be erected outside an available house, or on the side of an available apartment, to show passers-by that the property is on the market.
Canvassing
We regularly carry out widespread leaflet drops in the local area using specially prepared leaflets and letters to target particular applicants. The aim is to ‘seek out’ specific buyers and tenants, rather than just waiting for them to contact us.
Property Management

The London Link property managers are easy to talk to and they will go the extra mile to make sure your property is well looked after.
Knowledge
Having an in-depth knowledge of the processes involved enables our team to offer the most suitable advice to landlords or tenants and provide swift resolutions to any issues. We believe that the key to a successful tenancy is to build strong relationships with both landlords and tenants and, to this end, you will always find our staff knowledgeable, informative and helpful.
Contractors

Contacting us
London Link manage a large portfolio of residential properties throughout London, but we still ensure that our property managers are not overstretched, so they can provide a ‘hands on’ approach to each property and promptly deal with any issues as they present themselves. Each member of the property management team has a direct telephone number and we encourage landlords and tenants to make contact so that they know in advance who to speak to when the need arises. If a team member is on annual leave their telephone will be answered by another member of the team and all of the team have open access to the emails of the others, ensuring that prompt responses can be provided to all queries. Our full management package has proved highly successful, not only with overseas landlords, but also with landlords in the UK who either have a large property portfolio, or who find it is more cost effective to delegate property management responsibilities.
