04 / The case

Why Guaranteed Rent in Lewisham?

Lewisham property interior

Letting a property in Lewisham 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.

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.

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

05 / Licensing & compliance

Landlord licensing in Lewisham.

Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In Lewisham this is London Borough of Lewisham, 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 Lewisham needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with London Borough of Lewisham. 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 Lewisham, apply on your behalf where needed, and make sure the property is compliant before a tenant moves in.
