Why AV Property

What owners get from rent to rent with us in St Helens

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.

St Helens market

Why St Helens works for rent to rent

Demand here is steady rather than seasonal, which is exactly what owners want: high occupancy, fewer void weeks, and predictable monthly income. Typical nightly rates sit between £75 and £130, with mid-stay (3–28 night) bookings dominating the calendar.

We were one of the first dedicated short-let operators to take St Helens seriously. We know the demand drivers and we've built the local cleaning, linen and maintenance infrastructure to support them.

FAQs

Rent to Rent in St Helens — 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.
