04 / The case

Guaranteed Rent: Made for RM1 Landlords?

RM1 property interior

What most RM1 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.

The RM1 area within Havering sees consistent rental demand. Whether you're letting a flat, a converted maisonette, or a family house, our scheme sets a rent and sticks to it.

British Housing also operates throughout Havering — covering postcode districts RM2, RM3, RM4, RM5, RM11, RM12, RM13, and RM14, and the neighbourhoods of Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster, Rainham, Harold Hill, and Collier Row.

05 / Licensing & compliance

Landlord licensing in RM1, Havering.

Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In RM1, Havering this is London Borough of Havering, 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 RM1, Havering needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with London Borough of Havering. 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 Havering, apply on your behalf where needed, and make sure the property is compliant before a tenant moves in.
