Rent to Rent The City of London
Turn your The City of London 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.
The City is a pure business market: audit seasons, consulting projects and legal placements, where the guest is usually a company rather than a family. Apartments here trade on midweek corporate occupancy and long project bookings — four to twelve weeks, invoiced to a firm, with VAT receipts expected. Weekend rates soften unless there is an event, so the winning strategy is corporate mid-stays with weekend leisure pricing layered on top.

What owners get from rent to rent with us in The City of London
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 The City of London works for rent to rent
Well-run City of London homes typically achieve £170–£320 a night (Zone 1), and because Greater London whole-home short lets are capped at 90 nights a calendar year, we pair those nights with 28-night-plus corporate, contractor, relocation and insurance stays to fill the rest of the year legally. Our management fee is 12% + VAT and covers dynamic pricing, multi-platform listings, housekeeping, linen, guest care and compliance.
We operate across every London borough with local cleaning and maintenance cover, 24/7 guest messaging, borough-level night tracking for the 90-day rule, monthly statements and a free 48-hour income assessment. Prefer certainty? Guaranteed rent in City of London gives you a fixed monthly rent on a 1–5 year company agreement with no voids, no fees and no 90-night exposure.

Rent to Rent in The City of London — 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.

What our guests say
Every review below is a real, verified guest review from our Airbnb host profile — nothing written in-house.
We had a wonderful stay! The property was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a pleasant and relaxing visit. We really enjoyed our time here and hope to visit Liverpool again. If we do, we'd be more than happy to stay at the same property again. Highly recommended!
Excellent accommodation for our team of six. The keybox access was straightforward, and we had reliable key management throughout our week-long stay. The property provided comfortable facilities and was well-maintained. The host was responsive and helpful. We'd happily return here for future projects.
Beautiful house, we had amazing stay. Good area to stay if you are visiting Dover and surrounding. Nice clean house.
