Why AV Property

What owners get from rent to rent with us in Bath

Fixed monthly rent

Paid on the same day every month for the full 3–5 year term, in or out of season, regardless of occupancy or arrears. Standing order, straight to your account.

Zero voids, zero arrears

You're not letting to a tenant — you're leasing to AV Property. Our covenant, not a stranger's. No Section 21, no Section 8, no eviction risk.

Property professionally maintained

Cleaned 60–120 times a year, inspected weekly, minor maintenance under threshold handled at our cost. Property returned in better condition than a single-tenant AST.

All compliance and licensing handled

STL licence (Scotland), English register, London 90-day rule, HMO rules, Gas Safe, EICR, PAT, insurance — every line item is our responsibility for the term of the lease.

Bath market

Why Bath works for rent to rent

Central Georgian conversions and townhouses regularly achieve £145–£260 nightly, with weekend and Christmas Market peaks well above that. Long-stay demand from corporate and university visitors covers the quieter mid-week.

Bath is a design-first, review-driven market. Owners who invest in interiors and get their operations right consistently outperform — and we run the operations end for them.

FAQs

Rent to Rent in Bath — questions we get asked

Frequently asked questions

Typically 105–125% of open-market AST rent for the same property, locked for 3–5 years. Exact figures depend on the city, size and condition of the property — we quote a firm number after a free 48-hour valuation.

Yes, when set up correctly. It's a commercial lease with explicit sublet permission, not an AST. You need mortgage consent-to-let, freeholder permission where a lease applies, and appropriate insurance — we walk landlords through all three.

You have the same remedies as any commercial landlord. In practice, our portfolio, filed accounts, professional indemnity cover and property redress registration make default extremely unlikely. Ask for references from live rent-to-rent landlords — we'll provide them.

3 to 5 years is standard. We invest £4,000–£10,000 per property in furniture and onboarding, so short contracts don't work commercially for us — you get the benefit of a long lock-in.

No. We furnish, style and photograph the property at our cost as part of onboarding. You get it back at the end of the term furnished to a higher standard than most landlords would provide themselves.
