How Our Guaranteed Rent Scheme Works

In the evolving legal landscape, including the proposed changes under the Renters (Rights) Bill, traditional Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreements are becoming increasingly complex and riskier for landlords. Our scheme completely bypasses this risk: we do not use an AST. Instead, you enter into a Corporate Lease Agreement directly with Elliot Leigh for up to five years. This means Elliot Leigh is your tenant, not the occupier. By contracting with a regulated company, you secure your rental income through a commercial agreement, legally insulating you from the liabilities, extended notice periods, and complexities associated with the new tenant rights legislation. This commercial structure provides the highest level of stability and certainty for your Dartford property investment.

Valuation & Guaranteed Rent Offer

An experienced local consultant views your Dartford property. Based on our inspection and local market analysis, we provide you with a free, no-obligation valuation and a formal Guaranteed Rent offer.

Securing Your Income (Corporate Lease)

We enter into a Corporate Lease Agreement with you, typically for 2–5 years. Elliot Leigh becomes your tenant, providing you with a contractual rent guarantee. Protecting you from the renters rights bill.

Full-Service Management Takeover

We leverage our close relationship with over 50 local authority partners to find a suitable tenant. We then fully manage the relationship and handle all maintenance work needed (minor repairs covered at our cost).

Guaranteed Fixed Monthly Rent Payment

You receive your fixed, guaranteed rent payment, transferred directly to your account on the 15th of every month, regardless of whether the property is occupied or the tenant pays.
