Guaranteed rent: terms and coverage

The guaranteed rent service is presented as a model with no commission or management fees. The agency acts as the landlord's tenant and pays the rent monthly, whether the property is occupied or vacant, subject to contract. Contracts have a minimum term of one year and a maximum of five, with the possibility of extension if the landlord requires it. The landlord receives three months' rent in advance and payment is made within 48 hours of contact.

The agency states that it can acquire properties for this scheme with one to five bedrooms, houses or flats, bed and breakfast accommodation, hostels, hotels, HMOs (houses in multiple occupation) and entire blocks. It also accepts properties that need bringing up to standard, as it has a maintenance department that can decorate and refurbish the property before letting it on guaranteed rent.

Among the advantages the company lists for the landlord are free gas, electrical and EPC certificates, three months' rent in advance, minor works at no cost, free inventory, regular and long-term income, no tenant viewings, regular inspections, 0% commission and no management fees.
