Security for your investment
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 in Ilford. 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 Ilford property investment.

Instead of letting your property directly to individual tenants under an AST, you lease it to Elliot Leigh for an agreed period (typically 2-5 years, up to 10 years available).

No. This is one of the most significant advantages of Elliot Leigh’s guaranteed rent scheme for Ilford landlords in 2025.

Ilford landlords on our scheme are protected from these legislative changes and continue to receive their guaranteed rent with no disruption.
