04 / The case

Why Guaranteed Rent in Camden?

Camden property interior

Letting a property in Camden shouldn't mean chasing rent, covering voids, or dealing with mid-tenancy issues on weekends. Our guaranteed rent scheme converts all of that into a single predictable monthly payment.

British Housing has been doing this for over two decades. We hold 130+ active council and government contracts, which is what allows us to underwrite the rent and place tenants quickly. You get paid whether your property is occupied or not.

As an active partner of London Borough of Camden, we understand the specific housing pressures and compliance rules that apply across Camden. That familiarity translates into faster onboarding and fewer surprises once you've signed.

05 / Licensing & compliance

Landlord licensing in Camden.

Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In Camden this is London Borough of Camden, which, in common with other London boroughs, may run a combination of property licensing schemes, including selective licensing covering specific streets or wards as well as wider schemes that can apply to shared and rented homes more generally.

Scheme boundaries, fees, and application requirements change over time, and not every property in Camden needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with London Borough of Camden. 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 Camden, apply on your behalf where needed, and make sure the property is compliant before a tenant moves in.

06 / The process

Three steps to signed.

From postcode to contract. Most Camden properties are on the books within 72 hours of valuation.

Sign the agreement and receive your guaranteed rent from day one. We handle everything else.
