What Guaranteed Rent means
More certainty.
Less landlord admin.
Traditional letting can leave the landlord exposed to gaps between tenancies, payment problems and more day-to-day involvement. Guaranteed Rent changes that relationship.
Woodhouse agrees a rental arrangement with you for the property. We then take responsibility for the occupancy and day-to-day management within that agreed structure, while you receive the contracted rent in line with the agreement.
Less void exposure
The contractual arrangement is designed to remove the usual stop-start rental pattern between individual occupancies.
One professional point of contact
You deal with Woodhouse rather than managing the day-to-day relationship with individual occupiers.
Management built in
Our experienced team coordinates routine property and occupancy matters within the responsibilities agreed in your contract.
How it works
Four steps to a more predictable let.
We assess the property properly first. If Guaranteed Rent is the right fit, the commercial terms and responsibilities are made clear before anything begins.
We assess the property
Location, size, condition, compliance position and likely demand are reviewed by our team.
We agree the terms
Rent, contract length, start date and the responsibilities on each side are set out clearly.
Woodhouse takes over the day-to-day
We manage the occupancy and operational side of the arrangement in line with the agreement.
You receive the agreed rent
Your focus shifts from individual tenant activity to the contracted relationship with Woodhouse.
Compare the models
Guaranteed Rent or a traditional let?
Neither model is right for every landlord. The difference is mainly how much income certainty and day-to-day involvement you want.

Why Woodhouse?
A guarantee is only as reassuring as the operator behind it.
Woodhouse Estates was established in 2006 and is based at 235 Woodhouse Road in Friern Barnet.
Our team is built around the practical reality of managing property every day.
Our work spans private lettings, property management and established housing relationships, giving us a broad view of demand and risk.
You have a London-based team to speak to and a clear relationship around the property rather than an anonymous scheme.
Before you decide
Know what the agreement covers.
Ask us to set out the rent and payment dates, contract length, start and end arrangements, permitted use, condition requirements and how the property will be handed back.
Repair costs, certificates, insurance, utilities and any works needed before the start must be allocated in the written terms. Day-to-day management does not mean every cost transfers to Woodhouse.
Landlord questions
Guaranteed Rent, explained.
Will every property qualify for Guaranteed Rent?+
No. We assess the property, location, condition, compliance position and the type of arrangement available before making an offer.
How long is a Guaranteed Rent agreement?+
Terms are agreed property by property. Longer-term arrangements can be available where they suit both the landlord and the proposed use.
How is the guaranteed rent figure calculated?+
We consider market rent, property type and condition, demand, the term and the responsibilities Woodhouse will take on. We explain the proposed figure before you decide.
Who deals with day-to-day issues at the property?+
Woodhouse handles the operational side covered by the agreement. Repair and maintenance responsibilities are set out clearly in the contract so both sides know where they stand.
Is Guaranteed Rent the same as rent-guarantee insurance?+
No. It is a contractual letting arrangement with Woodhouse, not an insurance policy attached to an individual tenancy.
