What Guaranteed Rent Really Pays

The discount you accept and whether the peace of mind is worth it

A guaranteed rent offer arrives as one attractive figure: a fixed monthly rent, paid whatever happens, in return for accepting less than the full market rent. This book shows you how to judge whether that discount is fair. It explains the few numbers that matter and where to find local rent and demand data for free, then corrects the most expensive mistake landlords make, comparing the guaranteed rent with the headline market rent as though a normal let paid in full every month with nothing taken out. You will see which costs a scheme takes off your shoulders and which stay with you, and how the arrangement behaves when a bad month, a void or a rate rise arrives. A complete worked example runs the numbers on one property, and the final chapter gives you a six-step calculator for any offer, along with the legal questions it cannot answer. Next in this series: “The Guarantee Contract”.
