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.

Rent Comparison
Private Rent vs. Guaranteed Rent:
While the income from private rent might initially seem like a higher monthly figure, it often overlooks the hidden costs and potential losses. Void periods, tenant arrears, and unexpected maintenance expenses can significantly impact your overall returns.
