South East

Local teams, professional standards.

The South East's demand is dispersed across multiple strong markets — Thames Valley tech corridor, the M25 business belt, Gatwick's catchment, and the university cities of Oxford, Reading, and Brighton. Airport stopover demand alone keeps occupancy solid in Gatwick- and Heathrow-adjacent properties; academic conference peaks at the universities add premium-rate weekends. The region's property prices are high, but so is the quality of the demand.

  • Gatwick and Heathrow drive consistent overnight stopover demand
  • The Thames Valley tech corridor generates corporate contractor stays
  • Oxford, Reading, and Brighton's academic calendar creates conference and graduation peaks
  • Local regeneration projects and infrastructure investment are supporting property values across the South East
  • A large student and young professional population creates a reliable tenant pipeline

What guaranteed rent costs the Portsmouth owner

There's no fee from the owner to us for a guaranteed-rent arrangement on a Portsmouth property. Our return comes from the spread between the fixed monthly figure we pay the owner and what the property actually earns in the SA market over the term. If the property over-performs, we keep the upside; if it under-performs, the loss sits with us, not the owner.

Practically, that means the owner's tax position is simpler — there's one figure of monthly income to declare against the property — and there's no end-of-year reconciliation against management fees, channel commissions, or maintenance bills. The Portsmouth owner sees the same figure twelve times a year and that's it.

Portsmouth

What drives the number

The term length affects the figure. A longer commitment reduces our risk and that shows up in what we can offer.

Portsmouth

The process, step by step

Inspections happen periodically and the landlord is told what was found, including when nothing was.

Portsmouth

Who this suits — and who it doesn't

It suits someone who values a predictable outcome over an occasional excellent month. If the excellent month is the point, a different model fits better.

Portsmouth

The paperwork that has to be right

Where a council requires planning consent for a particular use, that is a question for the council and not for us to answer on their behalf. We will point an owner at the right place.

Portsmouth

What we won't do

We do not chase volume for its own sake. A property taken on badly costs more than it earns.

Portsmouth

The first step

Getting in touch costs nothing and commits to nothing. That is not a sales line; it is how the process is set up.

Your Questions

What Portsmouth landlords ask us.

Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.

Is guaranteed rent the same as a letting agent?

No. An agent finds a tenant and charges you a fee, and you carry the void when the tenant leaves. Under guaranteed rent we carry the void — if nobody is in the property, you are still paid.

What is the catch?

The fixed figure is lower than the best month you might achieve managing it yourself. You are trading the ceiling for certainty. If your priority is maximum income and you can absorb a bad month, fully managed suits you better.

Do I still own the property?

Yes, entirely. Nothing about ownership changes.

What condition does the property need to be in?

Safe, compliant and lettable. Gas and electrical certificates must be current. We will list anything missing after the appraisal.
