Rent to Rent Kent
Turn your Kent property into a guaranteed 3–5 year income. We sign a commercial lease with you, pay a fixed monthly rent every month regardless of occupancy, and manage the property as a fully-licensed serviced accommodation.
Kent sits perfectly on the London commuter belt — high-speed rail to St Pancras in under an hour, the M2/M20 corridors, the Channel Tunnel and the Port of Dover all driving constant short-let demand from contractors, tourists and business travellers.

What owners get from rent to rent with us in Kent
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.
Why Kent works for rent to rent
We see consistent contractor demand from major Sheppey, Medway, Maidstone and Ashford infrastructure projects, plus year-round leisure stays from London families heading to the coast, Leeds Castle, Canterbury and the Kent Downs AONB. Typical nightly rates sit between £85 and £180, with strong mid-stay and weekend mixes.
Kent is one of the fastest-growing short-let markets in the South East and very few professional Airbnb operators cover it properly across the whole county. We do — from Dartford to Dover.

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.
