Residential Leasing (2–5 Year)
A head lease that feels hands-off
If you want predictable income and asset care without day-to-day involvement, our Residential Leasing model is built for you. We take a 2–5 year head lease, operate the property within agreed consents, and return it in excellent condition at hand-back. You get stability; we handle the moving parts.

WHO THIS PACKAGE IS FOR
Investors wanting hands-off yield
Build-to-hold developers
Landlords shifting from AST volatility
Licensing, consents, confidence
Before a lease is signed, we verify borough licensing requirements particularly in south London area and confirm any lender/freeholder consents needed for the intended use. Where a selective or additional licence applies, we prepare the application and renewal plan. Safety certificates (gas/EICR/EPC), alarms, notices and inspection cycles are built into our onboarding so the property is ready and compliant from day one.
Operations that protect value
We install a professional operations layer: contractor SLAs, 24/7 reporting, planned maintenance and regular inspections with photo logs. This is how we prevent small issues from becoming big bills. Usage is controlled by the lease and consents; we don’t “chance it”. You’ll receive monthly statements and a short health report (open issues, recent works, next compliance dates) so you always know what’s happening without micromanaging.

residential leasing — FAQs
No. Your offer is a fixed monthly payment with no percentage management fee. We handle operations (tenants, inspections, minor repairs) within the agreement.
Standard models charge a fee on top of rent and you carry void/arrears risk. With Guaranteed Rent, you receive the same fixed amount every month (no fee), and we carry the day-to-day and void risk per the agreement.
Example: at £1,600 pcm, an 8% fee is £128/mo (£1,536/yr). With our Guaranteed Rent, you pay no management fee and still get a fixed monthly income.
We cover minor maintenance within agreed thresholds; major items per agreement.
You still get paid; we manage.
Scheduled inspections; reports provided.
No—contracted lease/management structure, fully disclosed.
