LANDLORDS QUESTIONS ANSWERED

FAQ

HOW DOES IT WORK?

​

We effectively become your tenant, guaranteeing you a fixed rental income and then sub-let the property on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST). You will continue to receive the agreed rent regardless of whether the property is empty or the tenant stops paying rent, unless rendered uninhabitable. As such, it is in our interests to find the best possible tenant. We will even deal with damages at the end of the tenancy, subject to a maximum value equivalent to 6 weeks rent. Additionally, our in house legal team will deal with any breaches of the AST at no cost to you.

​

HOW LONG IS THE CONTRACT

​

Depending on the office, we can offer contract periods from a minimum of 12 months. Contracts can be renewed either on a rolling basis or online.

​

WHAT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY DO YOUR COVER?

​

We are apart of a network and have local offices throughout the UK, and therefore we cover the vast majority of the country. 

 

WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU?

​

Hart Capital are members of the SAFEagent scheme and all our offices belong to either the National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS) or the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA).

 

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY?

​

When we sub-let the property we take the normal deposit from the tenant, which is then registered with one of the approved deposit protection services. When the tenant checks out, the deposit is used to cover the cost of any damages. We guarantee to pay you up to 1.5 times the monthly rent, subject to fair wear and tear, in respect of the condition of the property.

 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GUARANTEED RANTS?

​

No void periods, no rent arrears, no commission, no set-up fees, no renewal fees or any other “hidden extras”. No need to deal with the tenants at all. We can be flexible with payment dates, contract lengths, and start dates.

 

IS IT FOR ME?

​

Finding the right letting service for you depends on the level of responsibility and risk you are prepared to take. Our Guaranteed Rent service best suits landlords who want the financial stability of knowing what their rental income will be each month, with the benefits of the best property management available.

 

IS IT A INSURANCE POLICY

​

No. Our service provides you with Guaranteed Rent each and every month. We do not charge any premiums. If you are tempted by other Guaranteed Rent insurance or landlord insurance policies, we encourage you to read all the fine-print first.
