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.
Private Rent @ £1,500pm | Guaranteed Rent @ £1,350pm | |
|---|---|---|
Maximum annual rent | £18,000 | £16,200 |
Management fee | -£1,800 | £0 |
VAT on management fee | -£360 | £0 |
Referencing / setup | -£200 | £0 |
Inventory / check-in / check-out | -£200 | £0 |
One-month void period | -£1,500 | £0 |
Example annual income | £13,440 | £16,200 |
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.
How We Protect Your Property During Our Guaranteed Rent Agreement
Inspections
Records
Occupiers
Support
Checks
Regular Property Inspections
Routine inspections help us identify damage, maintenance needs and other issues before they become more costly.
Inventory & Condition Records
The condition of the property is recorded to provide a clear reference throughout the agreement.
Carefully Managed Occupiers
We manage who occupies the property and oversee it throughout the agreed term.
Compliance Support
We help landlords stay on top of relevant requirements, including gas safety, EICRs, EPCs and applicable licensing.
End-of-Agreement Checks
Before the property is returned, its condition is checked against the agreed records and any responsibilities under the contract are addressed.
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.
| Feature | Guaranteed RentOur scheme | Council Scheme | Rent Guarantee Insurance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who pays you? | Guaranteed rent provider | Council or its housing partner | Tenant, with insurer covering eligible arrears |
| Rent during voids | Yes, subject to agreement | Usually depends on scheme terms | No |
| Rent arrears protection | Provider continues agreed payments | Depends on contract | Covered subject to policy terms |
| Property management | Included with our scheme | Varies by council | Not included |
| Tenant / occupier management | Handled for you | Usually arranged through the scheme | Landlord or letting agent |
| Regular inspections | Included | Varies | Not part of insurance |
| Income | Fixed for the agreed term | Fixed or agreed under the scheme | Based on tenancy |
| Best suited to | Landlords wanting predictable income and hands-off management | Landlords comfortable leasing through a local authority scheme | Landlords wanting to retain a traditional tenancy but insure against arrears |
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.
