    My "rent guaranteed" experience with Homes2Let … More has been great.
    Chiara has followed all the process step to step. Not only she was available on short notice, but she always offered different options to the problem that I faced: getting the apartment ready, have someone available to accept furniture/appliances deliveries… She suggested solution without imposing them and always progressing forward to achieve the perfect solution.
    On the other side othe desk, Anna has helped with various issues like FRA and admin.
    I strongly recommend them and I look forward in acquire more properties and have use them again.

    Having managed my property portfolio for over 15 years … More and dealing with all the invariable challenges that come from this, I was looking to get back time for myself by placing my property with a reputable company that did what they said they do…manage your property well! A search online, introduced me to Riz and his team and I am so glad that it did!
    I completed the online form and actually forgot about it! A week later, I received an offer by email…a week later, I was onboarded…a week later, I had a guaranteed agreed sum in my account.
    I was pretty nervous about handing over control however Riz’s professionalism and value driven approach convinced me to take the leap of faith!
    It has only been a month but so far I am not regretting it. I am kept informed by Chiara, who manages the property…sorting out any issues promptly and efficiently. Giving me the time I needed to focus on other things.
    Early days, but at this stage, I would highly recommend Homes2Let…a property management company that does what it says on the tin!

    Would not release the keys to us without leaving a … More review on Google as part of "process" would not clarify that they were with holding the keys from us but wouldn't let us sign without leaving a review.
    Could do with clearer communication, the appointment is to fill out paperwork and maybe a viewing. Getting a place depends entirely on what is available that day and can be highly dependant on whether you have a guarantor.
    In our case the paper work was almost entirely done in one day the place was cleaned the following day and we signed for the keys on the third. There was pressure to place more (4 more weeks) than the advertised 5 weeks rent up front as our guarantor did not have an income exceeding or equal to 37k. The staff themselves about very pushy leaving reviews. Would be good for the clients to have a checklist of what's needed or what's happening.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a guaranteed rent scheme in Croydon?

It’s a letting solution where a property management company like Homes2Let acts as your guaranteed tenant. We pay you a fixed monthly income, regardless of whether the property is occupied or not. We then find tenants and manage the property ourselves.

How does a guaranteed rent scheme benefit Croydon buy-to-let landlords?

There are several key benefits:

  • Peace of mind: Enjoy a steady, predictable income stream without worrying about rent arrears or void periods.
  • Reduced workload: We handle everything from tenant screening and rent collection to repairs and maintenance,freeing up your time.
  • Minimized risk: Guaranteed rent protects you from potential losses due to tenant defaults or vacancies.
  • Professional management: Benefit from our expertise in tenant selection, property maintenance, and Croydon market knowledge.
  • Flexibility: Guaranteed rent schemes often offer flexible contract terms to suit your investment goals.

Is guaranteed rent the same as finding a letting agent?

No, while letting agents can help you find tenants and manage your property, they don’t guarantee your rent. With a guaranteed rent scheme, you receive a fixed income regardless of the agent’s success in finding a tenant.

Won't I earn less rent with a guaranteed scheme?

The guaranteed rent might be slightly lower than the potential maximum achievable through traditional lettings. However,the security of a fixed income and the elimination of void periods can often outweigh the potential difference.

Is a guaranteed rent scheme right for my Croydon buy-to-let property?

It depends on your priorities. If you value income security, minimising workload, and reducing risk, it’s a great option. However, if maximising rental income is your sole focus, traditional lettings might be better suited. We recommend contacting Homes2Let for a free consultation to discuss your specific situation and find the best solution for your Croydon property.

With a guaranteed rent scheme, is the monthly payment truly fixed?

Absolutely! Homes2Let guarantees your income regardless of market fluctuations or even if your property is temporarily vacant. This provides you with a steady, predictable income stream.

What happens if there's damage to the property during a tenancy?

No need to stress! Our schemes differentiate between normal wear and tear and any excessive damage caused by the tenant. We handle all repairs and maintenance, and in rare cases of significant damage, we may deduct the cost from the guaranteed rent payment.

Can I choose my own tenants under a guaranteed rent scheme?

Since Homes2Let becomes your tenant, we take care of finding suitable occupants. However, rest assured, we conduct thorough tenant screening to minimize risks. You can trust us to place responsible tenants in your Croydon property!

What if I decide to sell my Croydon property while it's under a guaranteed rent scheme?

No problem! Our schemes have clear termination clauses for such situations. There may be associated fees or a notice period required, but we’ll walk you through the process every step of the way.

Is a guaranteed rent scheme the right fit for every Croydon property?

Not necessarily. If your property is in a high-demand area, traditional lettings could potentially fetch higher rents.However, guaranteed rent offers peace of mind and is ideal for less popular locations or niche property types. Homes2Let can help you decide which option best suits your investment goals.

How can Homes2Let help me make the best decision for my Croydon property?

Our Croydon property experts are here for you! We’ll assess your specific situation and investment goals, compare the pros and cons of both guaranteed rent and traditional lettings for your property, and recommend the solution that offers complete peace of mind and maximizes your returns. Contact Homes2Let today for a free consultation!
