04 / The case

Guaranteed Rent: Made for Borough Landlords?

Borough property interior

What most Borough landlords want, and rarely get, is a rental property that behaves like a proper investment: fixed income, no surprises. That's the outcome guaranteed rent is designed to deliver.

We're not a letting agent taking a monthly cut. We sign the lease with you and pay the rent ourselves, backed by 130+ council and government contracts and a two-decade track record.

Borough attracts tenants drawn to its world-famous Borough Market and central location, which helps keep placement times short. Our team handles the vetting, check-in, and ongoing management, you just receive the rent.

British Housing also operates throughout Southwark — covering postcode districts SE1, SE5, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21, SE22, and SE24, and the neighbourhoods of Peckham, Camberwell, Dulwich, Bermondsey, Elephant and Castle, and Rotherhithe.

05 / Licensing & compliance

Landlord licensing in Borough, Southwark.

Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In Borough, Southwark this is London Borough of Southwark, which, in common with other London boroughs, may run a combination of mandatory HMO licensing (for larger shared houses), additional HMO licensing (for smaller shared properties outside the mandatory criteria), and selective licensing covering specific streets or wards.

Scheme boundaries, fees, and application requirements change over time, and not every property in Borough, Southwark needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with London Borough of Southwark. Unlicensed lettings risk civil penalties and rent repayment orders.

When landlords work with British Housing, we handle the licensing step as part of onboarding. We check the address against the current schemes operated by London Borough of Southwark, apply on your behalf where needed, and make sure the property is compliant before a tenant moves in.
