Guaranteed Rent - FAQs

How does it work?

We effectively become your tenant, guaranteeing you a fixed rental income, and then sub-let the property on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST). You will continue to receive the agreed rent regardless of whether the property is empty, or the tenant stops paying rent, unless rendered uninhabitable. As such, it is in our interests to find the best possible tenant. We will even deal with damages at the end of the tenancy, subject to a maximum value equivalent to 6 weeks rent. Additionally, our in-house legal team will deal with any breaches of the AST at no cost to you.

How long is the contract?

It all Depends on You, At Everest we pride ourselves in having the ability to offer our clients guaranteed rent on a range of schemes that last between 3 to 5 years long.

What parts of the country do you cover?

What about the internal condition of the property?

When we sub-let the property we take the normal deposit from the tenant, which is then registered with one of the approved deposit protection services. When the tenant checks out, the deposit is used to cover the cost of any damages. We guarantee to pay you up to 1.5 times the monthly rent, subject to fair wear and tear, in respect of the condition of the property.

What are the benefits of Guaranteed Rent for landlords?
