Why Guaranteed Rent in Westminster?
Letting a property in Westminster 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 City of Westminster, we understand the specific housing pressures and compliance rules that apply across Westminster. That familiarity translates into faster onboarding and fewer surprises once you've signed.
Landlord licensing in Westminster.
Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In Westminster this is City of Westminster, 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 Westminster needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with City of Westminster. 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 Westminster, apply on your behalf where needed, and make sure the property is compliant before a tenant moves in.
Three steps to signed.
From postcode to contract. Most Westminster properties are on the books within 72 hours of valuation.
