Additional Services for Managed and Let Only Options

Rent Guarantee Insurance

As conscientious letting agents, we want to ensure that you receive a rental payment each month, even if your tenant defaults. We ensure that all tenants are comprehensively screened and, as a result of this, we are confident that you will have a great tenant from the outset.

This is not to say that people’s circumstances do not change through no fault of their own i.e. redundancy or poor health, and these situations can sometimes leave tenants unable to keep up with rental payments. We can offer you two levels of protection against such situations to ensure that you always get your rent and the policies will even cover the cost of eviction.

Include Rent Guarantee in your managed service and get peace of mind when renting out your properties. Our Rent Guarantee also comes with legal expenses as standard, so you can get rent protection in the event of a tenant defaulting and any legal expenses costs you may incur, including:

  • Property owners legal disputes
  • Repair & renovation disputes
  • Health & safety prosecutions
  • Evictions
  • Attendance expenses
