04 / The case

Guaranteed Rent: Made for SW20 Landlords?

SW20 property interior

What most SW20 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 SW20 area within Merton 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 Merton — covering postcode districts SW19, CR4, and SM4, and the neighbourhoods of Wimbledon, Mitcham, Morden, Colliers Wood, Raynes Park, and South Wimbledon.

05 / Licensing & compliance

Landlord licensing in SW20, Merton.

Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In SW20, Merton this is London Borough of Merton, 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 SW20, Merton needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with London Borough of Merton. 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 Merton, apply on your behalf where needed, and make sure the property is compliant before a tenant moves in.
