Rent Guarantee and Legal Cover

 

Guaranteed Rent. Legal Protection. Total Peace of Mind.

 

At 247 Property Services, we understand that rental income is the backbone of your investment. One missed payment can quickly escalate into arrears, legal costs, stress, and uncertainty.

 

That is why we now offer Rent Guarantee Protection to our landlords – a robust, insurer-backed solution designed to protect your rental income and provide full legal support if things go wrong.

 

Cost: Just £24.99 per calendar month
✔ Taken directly from the rent
✔ No upfront annual payment
✔ Simple, transparent protection

 


What Is a Rent Guarantee?

Our Rent Guarantee service ensures that your rent continues to be paid if a tenant falls into arrears, while also covering the legal costs of regaining possession of your property where required.

 

This is not a basic policy or a “rent insurance add-on”. It is a comprehensive Rent Guarantee & Legal Expenses solution, underwritten by an FCA-regulated insurer and administered by specialist landlord legal professionals

What Does Our Rent Guarantee Cover?

When taken alongside our professional property management and referencing standards, this policy provides:

 

✔ Guaranteed Rent Payments

  • Covers unpaid rent once a valid claim is accepted
  • Rent paid until vacant possession is obtained, or policy limits are reached
  • Additional 75% rent cover for up to 3 months if the property cannot be re-let due to tenant damage or neglect

✔ Full Legal Expenses Cover

  • Legal costs to regain possession of your property
  • Representation through eviction proceedings
  • Rent recovery action against the tenant where applicable
  • Contract disputes, nuisance, trespass, and damage claims included

✔ £100,000 Total Legal Indemnity

  • Covers legal and associated costs up to £100,000 per insured incident

✔ Additional Protection Included

  • Property damage legal pursuit
  • Alternative accommodation & storage costs (where applicable)
  • Tax investigation cover
  • Criminal defence related to the letting
  • Personal legal and tax advice helplines

This is far more than just rent cover – it is full landlord legal protection.

 

 


 

Why We Can Offer This – Our Referencing Standards

 

A Rent Guarantee is only as strong as the tenant selection behind it.

 

At 247 Property Services, we operate one of the strictest referencing processes in the market, which is precisely why we are able to offer this level of protection confidently.

 

Our referencing includes:

 

✔ Affordability Checks

  • Tenant income must be at least 30x the monthly rent
  • Guarantors (where required) must meet 36x rent affordability

✔ Employment & Income Verification

  • Direct employer verification
  • Secure HMRC income verification
  • Open Banking validation where required

 

✔ Credit & Financial Risk Assessment

  • Full credit checks (soft search)
  • No active CCJs, bankruptcies, or unacceptable adverse credit

✔ Identity & Compliance Checks

  • Digital ID verification
  • Right to Rent checks (including Home Office share codes)
  • Address history verification (minimum 3 years)

✔ Landlord & Tenancy History

  • Current and previous landlord references
  • Confirmation of rent conduct and property care

 

These standards align fully with insurer eligibility requirements and are mandatory for Rent Guarantee acceptance

Why This Matters for Landlords

 

Without a Rent Guarantee:

  • One missed payment becomes two
  • Legal costs escalate quickly
  • Eviction timelines can stretch for months
  • Mortgage payments, service charges, and outgoings continue regardless

With our Rent Guarantee:
✔ Rental income protection
✔ Legal costs covered
✔ Clear, structured claims process
✔ Professional handling from day one
✔ Peace of mind that your investment is protected

 

In simple terms: you remove the financial risk from tenant default.

 


 

How Much Does It Cost?

 

£24.99 per calendar month

 

  • Taken directly from the rent
  • No annual lump sum
  • No hidden charges
  • Can be cancelled in line with policy terms

 

For most landlords, this equates to less than 1 day’s rent per month for full income and legal protection.

 


 

Who Is This Suitable For?

 

✔ Single-property landlords
✔ Portfolio landlords
✔ UK-based and overseas investors
✔ Mortgaged properties
✔ Long-term investment strategies

 

If rental income matters to you, this service makes sense.

 


 

Important Notes (Transparency Matters)

  • Rent Guarantee is subject to successful referencing and compliance
  • All statutory landlord obligations must be met (Gas, EICR, EPC, licensing, deposit protection)
  • Claims must be reported promptly in line with policy requirements
  • Full policy wording is available on request

 

We will guide you through everything – this is not a DIY product.

 


 

Why Take Rent Guarantee Through 247 Property Services?

 

Because we don’t just sell the policy – we manage the risk.

 

✔ Experienced property managers
✔ Strong tenant selection
✔ Proactive arrears monitoring
✔ Fast escalation when required
✔ Direct liaison with legal providers

 

This is a managed protection service, not an off-the-shelf insurance product.

The Reality for Landlords


Without rent protection, one missed payment can quickly escalate into:

  • Thousands in lost rent
  • Legal fees for eviction
  • Long possession times
  • Ongoing mortgage and property costs

With 247 Rent Guarantee, those risks are transferred away from you.

 

For less than £1 per day, your rental income and legal position are protected.
