Frequently Asked Questions

Guaranteed rent is a property management model where a company leases your property from you on a 3–5 year agreement and pays you a fixed monthly amount — regardless of whether the property is occupied. You receive your rent even during voids, without agent fees, maintenance headaches, or compliance stress.

Typically 80–95% of the open market rental value, depending on the property's location, condition, and how we intend to use it. When you factor in no agent fees (8–15%), no voids (average £1,000–£2,000/year), and no maintenance costs, most landlords net more under guaranteed rent than traditional letting.

We currently cover Birmingham, Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Coventry, and Sheffield. If you have a property outside these areas, contact us — we are expanding and may be able to help.

Standard leases are 3–5 years. Shorter or longer terms can sometimes be accommodated — contact us to discuss your situation.

We can typically complete an assessment and make a formal offer within 48 hours of viewing. Onboarding (lease signing and handover) usually takes 1–2 weeks.

Your lease agreement specifies exactly what happens in this scenario, including your right to reclaim vacant possession. This is why having a proper written lease — not a verbal agreement — is critical. All our agreements are in writing, on our headed paper, and clearly specify all obligations.

Yes — you can sell your property during a guaranteed rent lease. The new owner would take on the existing lease obligations, which is actually a selling point (sitting tenants producing consistent income). Alternatively, we can discuss early exit arrangements if you need to sell vacant.
