Guaranteed Rent: Made for City of London Landlords?
What most City of London 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.
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 City of London Corporation, we understand the specific housing pressures and compliance rules that apply across City of London. That familiarity translates into faster onboarding and fewer surprises once you've signed.
Landlord licensing in City of London.
Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In City of London this is City of London Corporation, 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 City of London needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with City of London Corporation. 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 City of London Corporation, apply on your behalf where needed, and make sure the property is compliant before a tenant moves in.
