Guaranteed rent schemes are becoming one of the most reliable and stress-free ways for landlords to manage their properties, yet many still misunderstand what they actually involve.
At LTA Direct, we’ve worked with hundreds of London landlords who were initially sceptical, until they saw how much time, money and stress they saved. Let’s clear up some of the most common myths about guaranteed rent once and for all.
It’s a common misconception that guaranteed rent equals reduced profit. In truth, LTA Direct bases every offer on current market value, not discounted figures. The key difference is consistency; you receive the same agreed rent every month, 365 days a year, even if the property is empty or tenants fall into arrears.
When you factor in savings on void periods, management fees and maintenance costs, most landlords find their overall return is equal to or higher than traditional letting.
Many landlords worry they’ll lose oversight once they join a guaranteed rent scheme, but that’s far from the case. You remain the legal owner and ultimate decision-maker. LTA Direct simply takes care of the day-to-day management, everything from tenant vetting and inspections to maintenance and compliance, so you don’t have to. Our transparent reporting and open communication ensure you’re always in the loop about what’s happening with your property.
Whether you own one flat or ten, guaranteed rent can work for you. It’s designed for anyone who wants a stable, predictable income without the daily involvement of being a landlord. Many of our clients are individuals with a single property who just want reliable returns without the hassle.
Scepticism is understandable, but guaranteed rent isn’t a gimmick. It’s a professional partnership between you and a trusted company like LTA Direct. We rent your property, maintain it to high standards, and pay you an agreed amount every month, simple, transparent, and proven.
Guaranteed rent is about reducing risk while keeping returns steady. It’s not about losing control or sacrificing profit, it’s about security, consistency and peace of mind. With LTA Direct, your property works for you, not the other way around.
