Guaranteed rent
Guaranteed rent for landlords in London and the South East.
An agreed rent, a professional tenant and a simpler way to let. Dreytons leases self-contained homes directly from landlords on a company let. Where a property is accepted, the monthly rent, term and responsibilities are fixed in a written lease, and we manage the home throughout.
What you get
What a Dreytons lease gives you
Each benefit is confirmed in the written agreement you sign.
Agreed monthly rent
The rent is contractual and paid monthly in arrears, as set out in your written lease.
A company let on agreed terms
Your contract is with Dreytons Housing Ltd, not individual occupants. Terms are typically three to five years, agreed for each property.
Agreed protection against void periods
Void coverage, and any exclusions, are confirmed in your written agreement.
Day-to-day management taken care of
Routine management, occupant liaison and regular inspections are handled by Dreytons, including occupier damage, within the agreed scope.
Clear repair responsibilities
Dreytons covers agreed routine and minor repairs; structural, major and statutory works sit with the landlord, as set out in the agreement.
Costs and hand-back agreed upfront
Any fees or reimbursable costs, and clear hand-back obligations, are explained and agreed in writing before you sign.
All offers are subject to viewing, survey, compliance checks and contract. Rent, term and responsibilities are as set out in the signed lease agreement.

FAQ
Questions property owners ask us
If yours isn't covered, our team is happy to talk it through.
What does guaranteed rent mean with Dreytons?
If your property is accepted, we lease it on a company let and pay the monthly rent agreed in a written lease, subject to its terms. The rent, term, and responsibilities are set out in the lease you sign, so everything is agreed in writing before we start.
How long are the lease terms?
Terms of three to five years are indicative and are agreed property by property, depending on the property and what suits you. Longer terms can be discussed for blocks and new-build schemes.
What types of property do you take on?
Our focus is self-contained one to four bedroom flats and family houses, portfolios and whole blocks across London and selected South East areas. HMOs are considered only selectively, where licensing and planning are in place. Homes need to meet the required safety and licensing standards, and we can tell you if any works are needed first.
Who manages the property day to day?
Dreytons does. Routine management, liaison with occupants, and inspections are handled by our team for the length of the lease, as set out in the agreement.
Do you charge landlords fees?
Any fees or reimbursable costs are explained openly and agreed in writing before you sign. The agreed monthly rent and what it covers are set out in the lease for each property, and any later works or costs are authorised only as the agreement provides.
How quickly will you respond?
We aim to respond to enquiries within one working day with an initial reply. A written proposal follows our review, viewing and survey, and is subject to contract — the one-working-day target is about getting back to you, not a promise of a proposal or offer in that time.
