The Step-by-Step Process of Joining a Guaranteed Rent Scheme

For many landlords, the idea of Guaranteed Rent sounds almost too good to be true — rent paid every month, even if the property is empty or the tenant doesn’t pay?
But it’s not a myth — it’s a proven, secure model that thousands of landlords across the UK are already benefiting from.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s actually involved in joining a Guaranteed Rent scheme, here’s a clear, step-by-step guide that walks you through the entire process from start to finish.

---

Step 1: Initial Enquiry and Property Details

The process begins when you reach out to a Guaranteed Rent provider (like us) with some basic details about your property.
We’ll typically ask for:

• The property address and type (flat, house, etc.)
• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Current condition and occupancy status
• Your preferred start date

This helps us assess whether your property is suitable for our scheme and what level of rent we can guarantee you.

---

Step 2: Property Assessment & Valuation

Next, one of our property specialists will visit your property for a quick assessment.
During this visit, we’ll:

• Inspect the overall condition
• Check for safety and compliance (gas, electrics, EPC, smoke alarms, etc.)
• Take photos and notes for our records

Based on the assessment, we’ll provide you with a guaranteed rent offer — a fixed amount you’ll receive every month, regardless of tenant payments or void periods.

---

Step 3: Agreeing Terms & Signing the Contract

If you’re happy with the offer, we’ll draw up a Guaranteed Rent Agreement outlining:

• The fixed monthly payment amount
• The contract length (usually between 2–5 years)
• What’s covered under the agreement (maintenance, inspections, etc.)
• Payment dates and terms

You’ll always have time to review the agreement, ask questions, and ensure you’re comfortable before signing. Once both parties sign, your rent is officially guaranteed.

---

Step 4: Compliance & Onboarding

Before we take over full management, we’ll ensure everything is compliant and ready to go.
This includes:

• Checking safety certificates (Gas, EICR, EPC)
• Confirming insurance coverage
• Ensuring furnishings meet fire safety standards

If anything needs updating, we’ll guide you through what’s required — or, if you prefer, we can handle it for you.

---

Step 5: Tenant Placement (We Handle Everything)

Once the property is onboarded, our team handles all tenant sourcing, referencing, and move-ins.
You won’t have to lift a finger — we deal with:

• Moving the tenants in

You will receive your full guaranteed rent each month.

---

Step 6: Monthly Payments — On Time, Every Time

This is the part landlords love most.
From the start date of your agreement, you’ll receive your rent on the same date each month, without fail — even if the tenant hasn’t paid or the property is temporarily empty.

You’ll also receive regular updates, property inspections, and maintenance reports so you always know your investment is being well looked after.

---

Step 7: Renewal or Exit

As your contract nears its end, we’ll contact you to discuss renewal options.
Most landlords choose to renew because the stability and peace of mind are hard to beat — but if you decide to take the property back, we’ll return it in the condition it was handed over to us in minus general wear and tear and handle the transition smoothly.
