Guaranteed Rent, explained honestly
July 20264 min read
Guaranteed Rent means we pay you an agreed fixed amount every month. Whether the property is tenanted or empty, whether the occupier pays on time or doesn't. Your income becomes predictable. That part is exactly as good as it sounds.
The trade you're making
The guaranteed figure sits below the property's likely open-market rent. That gap is not a hidden fee. It's the price of transferring risk. Voids, arrears and rent-chasing become our problem instead of yours, and we price carrying that risk into the offer.
Questions to ask any provider (including us)
- Who is the tenant on the agreement. The occupier, or the company guaranteeing the rent?
- What condition will the property be returned in, and who documents it?
- How long is the term, and what are the break provisions on both sides?
- What exactly is deducted before the guaranteed figure is calculated?
A guaranteed rent offer you can't interrogate is a discount you can't measure.
Every arrangement we offer is bespoke to the property and put in writing before you commit. If simple Full Management would serve you better, we'll say so. Predictability is valuable, but only at the right price.
