Guaranteed rent for accidental landlords across the Midlands
For people letting an inherited home, a partner's old flat or a house they have moved out of.
An accidental landlord is someone who lets a property they did not buy as an investment, often an inherited home or a house they have moved away from. Guaranteed rent gives a fixed income without having to learn the letting rules from scratch.

Questions landlords ask
I have never let a property. Is that a problem?
No. We explain each step, list the documents we need and set out what you remain responsible for, such as the building insurance and your mortgage lender's consent.
Can I sell the property during the lease?
The lease sets out what happens if you want to sell. Break clauses can be agreed at the start if you think you might sell.
What if the property needs updating first?
Our refurbish and let service can price any work needed before the lease starts.
