What Is Guaranteed Rent?

Introducing Guaranteed Rent - an alternative to traditional letting where your property is leased for an agreed period, and you receive a fixed monthly rent even if the property is void and empty. Instead of you juggling with rent collection, vacant periods, tenant arrears, and rent shortfalls, our professional team manages the property. All you have to do is hand over the keys and start enjoying the agreed rental income each month.

At Real Estate Agents London, our guaranteed rent scheme is available for suitable residential properties across London, including houses, flats, and HMOs. We offer leasing the property for up to 5 years, all while managing the complete property without any extra charges. Our team is also responsible for handling property inspections, free inventory, electrical and gas safety checks, EPC arrangements, and property refurbishments.

How Much Guaranteed Rent Can You Get in London?

The amount of rent you receive depends directly on your property rather than one fixed London-wide rate. Our team starts from assessing the location, property type, market demands, number of bedrooms, and local rental conditions before giving you an agreed monthly figure.

How Is Your Guaranteed Rent Calculated?

We consider your postcode, property size and type, condition, local demand and any relevant licensing requirements. This gives us a realistic figure that can be maintained throughout the agreed rental period.

How Much Does a Guaranteed Rent Scheme Cost?

The cost depends on how the guaranteed rent agreement is structured and what services are included. Before you sign, we explain the agreed rent, management responsibilities and any applicable costs so you know exactly what you will receive each month.

Guaranteed Rent vs Private Renting in London

A higher advertised rent does not always mean more money in your pocket. Here is an example of how the annual rental income can look once common letting costs and a void period are considered.

Note: Example costs only. Actual private letting costs vary by property, agent and tenancy. Maintenance and other inclusions depend on the terms of your guaranteed rent agreement. The difference? Private renting may offer a higher headline rent, while guaranteed rent is designed around consistent monthly income with fewer deductions and no loss of rent during agreed void periods.

Guaranteed Rent vs Council Scheme vs Rent Guarantee Insurance

These options can all reduce rental risk, but they work differently. The right choice depends on how much certainty, control and management support you want.

The key difference: guaranteed rent is a property letting and management arrangement, not an insurance policy. Rent guarantee insurance protects against certain financial losses, while council schemes operate under their own eligibility, payment and property requirements.

Your Doubts and Questions?

If you have any remaining questions or reservations about the Guaranteed Rent solutions that our Real Estate Agents London specialists offer to our clients, read the answers below to clarify any hesitations:

You lease your property to a guaranteed rent provider for an agreed period and receive a fixed monthly payment. Your rent continues according to the agreement even during eligible void periods.

It can be worthwhile if you prefer predictable income, fewer void-related losses and less day-to-day management.

Occupiers depend on the type of guaranteed rent arrangement agreed for your property. We manage the occupancy and property throughout the agreement rather than leaving you to handle it directly.

Yes, you remain the legal owner of your property throughout the guaranteed rent agreement. The agreement only sets out how the property is leased and managed for the specified term.

We manage the changeover, inspect the property's condition and prepare it for the next occupancy where required. Your agreed rental payments continue according to your contract.

Our management team coordinates maintenance and deals with reported property issues. Responsibility for specific repair costs will depend on the terms set out in your agreement.

Yes, we can help landlords understand and manage relevant requirements such as gas safety, EICRs, EPCs and applicable property licensing. Your exact obligations will depend on the property and how it is let.

Requirements vary, but landlords commonly need a valid EPC, gas safety record where gas is installed, EICR and any required property or HMO licence. We check the relevant requirements during onboarding.

Yes, a private guaranteed rent agreement is made with a provider, while council schemes operate through a local authority or its housing partners. Eligibility, rent levels, management responsibilities and contract terms can differ.

We carry out the agreed end-of-contract process, including relevant property checks and handover arrangements. You can then decide how you want to let or use the property next.
