Landlord Story: How Elliot Leigh Solved My Landlord Nightmares

For years, I was hating being a landlord. What I thought would be a smart investment quickly became a constant source of stress. My two-bedroom flat in Ilford, which I was managing myself, felt more like a burden than an asset. I was stuck in a cycle of chasing late rent payments, which messed with my own finances and created a lot of unnecessary stress. At times when a tenant moved out, I dreaded the whole process of finding a new one as sometimes it could takes months to find a suitable candidate – leaving me to cover the mortgage myself for long stretches while the property sat empty.

Then there were the never-ending little maintenance issues. A leaky tap would turn into a two-day project, and keeping up with all the changing legal requirements for landlords consumed my free time. I felt exhausted and was seriously considering selling the property just to be done with it.

That’s when I came across Elliot Leigh. When I spoke to Stuart, he immediately understood my problems and explained how their guaranteed rent service. Honestly it sounded too good to be true, but it turned out to be exactly what I needed.

Now, I get my rent on the same date every single month, without fail. It doesn’t matter if the tenant pays late or if the flat is empty. They’ve taken over everything, from tenant communication, property inspections to repairs. A minor plumbing leak happened a few months ago and they handled it completely within 24 hours. I didn't even know about it until it was already fixed. On top of that, they keep the property fully compliant, which is a huge relief knowing that my investment is protected and everything is being handled professionally.

It's been three years since I signed up and I can honestly say partnering with Elliot Leigh has been a game-changer. That steady income has taken the stress out of my finances and even given me the confidence to think about buying another property.

More importantly, I’ve completely regained my peace of mind. I don’t spend my evenings worrying about tenants or dealing with last-minute emergencies anymore. Instead, I’ve got my time back to focus on my family and career.

If you’re a landlord who’s fed up with the stress and hassle, I can’t recommend Elliot Leigh enough. Their guaranteed rent service is as hands-off as it gets, and honestly, it’s the best decision I’ve ever made for my property.
