Guaranteed Rent - How does it work?


Lexingtons Property Management and Maintenance Ltd takes a lease over your property for a period of between 1 and 5 years and then we sub-let the property on an AST (Assured Shorthold Tenancy).


Lexingtons Property Management and Maintenance Ltd will GUARANTEE the rent on your property regardless of whether a sub-tenant pays us or not, we will pay the agreed guaranteed rent to you.

As the landlord, you will not need to take any additional cover to protect yourself for rent arrears as this is all covered by Lexingtons, therefore saving you time, money and giving you peace of mind.

The property will be managed with all the benefits of our Full Management Plan.
