Hands-off income from your property
Haven rents homes from landlords, gets them ready for guests and runs them day to day. You get a fixed rent and one person to deal with.
We handle the furnishing, bookings, cleaning, maintenance and bills. We inspect every home regularly and keep it to a higher standard than most long lets, so the property is looked after while it earns.
How it compares to a normal let
You have one tenant, us, for the whole agreement.
| Topic | A normal let | Letting to Haven |
|---|---|---|
| Rent | Changes with every tenancy | Fixed for the length of the agreement |
| Empty months | No income between tenants | Paid whether it's booked or not |
| Fees | 10–15% management plus letting fees | None |
| Maintenance | Calls, quotes and call-outs | Day-to-day upkeep handled by us |
| Bills and council tax | Chasing tenants or paying between lets | Paid by us |
| Condition | Wear and tear over time | Refurbished and inspected regularly |
How it works
Most landlords are being paid within a few weeks of the first visit.
- Step 1
We view the property
A free visit. We look at the location, layout and condition, and tell you honestly whether it works for short stays.
- Step 2
We agree a fixed rent
You get a written offer: a set monthly rent for a fixed term, usually 3–5 years.
- Step 3
We get it ready
We decorate, furnish and photograph the home at our own cost.
- Step 4
You get paid
We run it day to day. Your rent arrives on the same date every month.
Who stays in our homes
Mostly people working in the city: contractors, consultants and staff on placement, plus families visiting for a week or two. They want a proper home rather than a hotel room.

What landlords and guests say
Demo content: sample reviews to be replaced with real ones“I'd had two difficult tenancies in a row. Now the rent lands on the first of every month and the flat looks better than when I handed it over.”
“Clear contract, quick answers, and they handled the lender consent for me. It's the least stressful letting arrangement I've had.”
“Spotless, calm and close to the station. It felt more like a home than a hotel. We'll be back for our next work trip.”
Common questions
Something we haven't covered? Get in touch or call +44 0000 000000.
What is rent-to-rent?
We rent your property from you on a fixed-term company let, usually 3 to 5 years. We pay you an agreed rent every month, then furnish the home and let it to vetted guests for short stays. You get a reliable income without the day-to-day work of being a landlord.
Is my rent really guaranteed?
Yes. Your rent is set out in the agreement and paid on the same date every month, whether the property is booked or not. We aim for 60–80% occupancy, but that is our risk to carry, not yours.
Is this legal? Do I need permission?
Rent-to-rent is legal in the UK when it is set up properly. Before we sign, we check that short-term letting is allowed for your property. That means your mortgage lender's consent, the freeholder or lease terms for flats, and local rules (in London, short lets over 90 nights a year need planning permission). We help you get anything that is needed, in writing.
Who pays the bills and council tax?
We do. Utilities, council tax, broadband, TV licence and cleaning are all paid by us for the length of the agreement.
Who looks after maintenance and repairs?
We handle day-to-day maintenance and minor repairs at our cost, and we inspect the property regularly. Structural and major items (roof, boiler replacement and so on) usually stay with the owner, as in a normal tenancy, and are agreed up front in the contract.
