About British Housing

A new wave in the private rented sector.

Founded in 2014. The UK's guaranteed rent provider, working with government, landlords, and tenants to deliver a redefined model for housing.

01 / Our story

Built to fix what's broken.

British Housing operations

Founded in 2014, British Housing is the UK's leading provider of guaranteed rent. Our mission is simple. Offer landlords a reliable, hassle-free income while delivering quality housing across the UK through our guaranteed rent scheme.

We work with over 130 local authorities and government bodies, bridging the gap between the private rented sector and social housing needs. Unlike traditional letting agents or portfolio managers, our guaranteed rent model is backed by formal government contracts, giving landlords security and tenants stability.

The PRS is no longer fit for purpose. Volatile yields, mounting compliance burdens, and fragmented market standards have left many landlords unsupported. We created British Housing to fix that. We deliver guaranteed rent in London, North London, and beyond, while shaping a more balanced, equitable rental system.

Landlords, tenants, councils, and investors. All are stakeholders in the future of housing. We align their needs through a radically different model. One that rethinks how rent is paid, how homes are managed, and how the sector can work for everyone. With tens of thousands of tenants placed and thousands of landlords served, our approach is proven, resilient, and ready for what's next.

03 / Our vision

The future of lettings.

British Housing exists to set a new standard for the private rented sector. We believe landlords deserve stable income, tenants deserve safe homes, and councils deserve trusted delivery partners.

Our guaranteed rent scheme is not just a service. It is part of a wider shift in housing policy and provision. We are building a model where public contracts meet private investment to deliver results at scale. One that supports refurbishment, raises yields, reduces voids, and simplifies management.

This is the new wave of housing. It is not driven by short-term lettings or private agents. It is built on long-term outcomes, clear incentives, and aligned interests.

Better outcomes, together

Building a better future for landlords and tenants alike.
