The Maths
Worked through, with the assumptions shown
Three columns, because the answer depends on which one you are comparing against. Every figure below is an assumption you can change, not a market average.
| Per year | Self-managing | Letting agent | Guaranteed rent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rent received (£1,000/month market) | £12,000 | £12,000 | £10,200 |
| Voids (3 weeks empty) | −£692 | −£692 | £0 |
| Maintenance and repairs | −£600 | −£600 | £0 |
| Compliance certificates | −£300 | −£300 | £0 |
| Tenant-find (£500 over 1.5 years) | −£333 | −£333 | £0 |
| Agent management (10%) | £0 | −£1,200 | £0 |
| Net income | £10,074 | £8,874 | £10,200 |
| Difference vs guaranteed rent | £126/yr better | £1,326/yr better |
What that actually says. Against a letting agent, guaranteed rent is roughly £1,326 a year better on these assumptions. Against managing it yourself it is about £126 — close enough that the honest answer is “similar money, far less work” rather than “you earn more”. What you are really buying is certainty: the guaranteed column does not move if the property sits empty for three months or the boiler needs replacing.
Assumptions used in this example
• Market rent: £1,000/month (£12,000/year)
• Guaranteed rent offered: 85% of market = £850/month (£10,200/year)
• Voids: 3 weeks a year = £692 of lost rent
• Agent management: 10% of rent = £1,200/year
• Maintenance and repairs: £600/year
• Compliance: gas safety, EICR and EPC spread across their renewal cycles = £300/year
• Tenant-find: £500 once, spread over a 1.5-year tenancy = £333/year
These are illustrative assumptions chosen to show the arithmetic, not surveyed averages — your voids, maintenance and compliance costs will differ, and the answer moves with them. Work yours out with the void period calculator and the landlord costs calculator, or ask us for an estimate on your property.

How much rent will I receive with guaranteed rent?
Typically 80-90% of market rent. You pay no agent fee, carry no void risk and we cover day-to-day repairs and the compliance certificates, so the gap narrows once those are counted. Against a letting agent that usually leaves you ahead; against managing it yourself the two land close together, and what you gain is certainty rather than income. The worked example above shows both, with every assumption listed.
Is this the same as rent-to-rent?
Structurally, yes — and you should hear that from us rather than find it out. We take a lease on your property for three to five years, pay you a fixed rent whether it is occupied or not, and place the occupier ourselves. The Property Redress Scheme describes guaranteed rent and rent-to-rent as the same arrangement, and this site's own guide to rent-to-rent defines the model in the same terms we use here: a three-to-five-year lease at 10-20% below market rent. What differs between operators is not the structure, it is who is doing it and what the lease says. That is why our lease terms are on the table before you commit to anything, why we tell you to get your mortgage lender's answer in writing first, and why we say plainly that we are a private company rather than a council or a housing association.
Do I still own my property with guaranteed rent?
Yes — you retain 100% ownership. We lease the property from you under a formal agreement, similar to a commercial tenant. You can sell at any time, subject to the lease terms.
What types of property qualify for guaranteed rent?
Most residential properties qualify — houses, flats, bungalows, and HMOs from 1 bedroom upwards. The property must meet basic habitability and safety standards.
Who are the tenants in a guaranteed rent scheme?
Tenants are sourced, referenced and managed entirely by our team. You have no direct contact with them — we handle referencing, day-to-day management, maintenance and any issues that arise for the length of the lease.
What about repairs and maintenance with guaranteed rent?
We handle the day-to-day at our cost for the length of the lease — tenant-reported repairs, general wear and tear and routine maintenance. As the owner you remain responsible for the building structure, buildings insurance, the boiler and any major electrical work. We arrange and coordinate that work and notify you in advance, but the cost sits with you.
How long is a guaranteed rent lease?
Typically 3-5 years. Longer leases provide greater income security and may attract a higher guaranteed rent amount.
How quickly can guaranteed rent start?
Once you accept our offer, we can typically complete the lease within 7-14 days. Your first guaranteed rent payment follows shortly after.
What areas do you cover for guaranteed rent?
We currently operate across Birmingham, Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Coventry, and Sheffield — and the surrounding areas within approximately 30 minutes of each city centre.
Is guaranteed rent better than using a letting agent?
On the worked example above it is about £1,326 a year better, because you are not paying the 8-12% management fee on top of the voids, maintenance and compliance every landlord carries. Whether that holds for your property depends on your own numbers — a property that never sits empty and rarely needs work narrows the gap considerably.
What happens at the end of a guaranteed rent lease?
Your property is returned in the condition it was at the start of the lease (fair wear and tear excepted). You can then renew the lease with us, let privately, or sell.
