Guaranteed rent
We become your tenant and pay a set figure on the same date every month, occupied or not.
For property owners
Whatever a property needs, we do ourselves: furnishing and staging it, letting and running it, cleaning it and fixing it. Hand the whole thing over, or just the part you're missing.
How we help
Most owners come to us for one of these and end up using two or three. They are separate services, so take whichever you actually need.
We become your tenant and pay a set figure on the same date every month, occupied or not.
We run the property and you keep the income, for a 12-15% fee and a full monthly breakdown.
Our own team specs, sources and fits the place out at trade prices, then photographs it.
Employed teams, not agency. Changeovers, deep cleans and repairs, handled without you chasing anyone.
Two ways to work with us
Most landlords want one of two things: a number they can rely on every month, or the best possible return with someone else doing the work. We do both.
Option one
We take the property on a company let and pay you a guaranteedsum on the same date every month for the length of the agreement. Whether it's full, empty or between guests is our problem, not yours.
Option two
We run the property as short-term stays on your behalf for a 12-15% management fee. Higher ceiling than a standard tenancy, and you still don't do any of the work.
Side by side
Scroll the table sideways to see all three columns.
| Guaranteed rent | Full management | High street agent | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly income | Guaranteed, agreed up front | Variable, typically higher | Fixed, minus fees |
| Void periods | Paid regardless | Absorbed by occupancy across the month | You lose the income |
| Fees to you | None | 12-15% of revenue | Letting fee plus monthly management |
| Cleaning | Included | Included | Not provided |
| Day-to-day maintenance | We handle it, up to £250 a month covered | We handle, you cover parts | Billed to you with a markup |
| Wear and tear | Ours to manage | Managed on your behalf | Yours, at the end of the tenancy |
| Your involvement | None after handover | A full monthly breakdown to read | Calls, approvals and decisions |
We're selective, because we take the risk on occupancy.
Staging & furnishing
Empty, or furnished for a tenancy rather than for guests? Our own staging team specs, sources and fits out the whole property, then styles and photographs it ready to list.
Because we furnish our own portfolio constantly, we buy through trade accounts and long-standing supplier relationships, and those prices come to you rather than staying with us. Most owners furnish with us for noticeably less than the same list costs retail.
Questions
Two routes. Either we take your property on a guaranteed rent agreement and pay you a guaranteed monthly figure whether it is occupied or not, with no fees at all, or we manage it for you on a 12-15% management fee and you take the upside. Both include cleaning, maintenance and guest management, and we can furnish the property first if it needs it.
Typically three to five years on guaranteed rent, which is what lets us commit to a guaranteed monthly payment. Management agreements are more flexible and can be reviewed annually.
On guaranteed rent we cover day-to-day wear, cleaning and repairs up to £250 a month, carried out by our own maintenance team rather than billed on from a contractor. Structural work, appliance replacement and anything covered by your building insurance stay with you as the owner. It is all set out clearly in the agreement.
Yes. Our own staging team specs, sources and fits out the whole property, then styles and photographs it ready to list. Because we furnish our own portfolio constantly we buy through trade accounts, and those prices are passed on to you, so most owners furnish with us for less than the same list costs retail.
The same or better. We inventory everything at the start, inspect regularly, and hand back professionally cleaned with a full condition report.
