Raising the Standard of Social Housing
Raising the Standard of Social Housing
Guaranteed rent for landlords · South West England & Greater London
Harbour & May Residentials are experts in social housing who take on vetting and letting tenants and pay you a guaranteed rent, whether the property is occupied or not.
No letting fees. No void periods. Typical lease terms of 1–5 years.
A fixed monthly amount, agreed up front and paid on the same date every month.
Between tenancies, the rent keeps coming — that risk sits with us, not you.
Tenant sourcing, day-to-day contact, and maintenance — handled without calling you.
Gas, electrical, fire safety and EPC requirements kept current, always.
Guaranteed rent works a little differently depending on the type of property.
01
Single-let houses and flats across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and Ealing, leased on a fixed guaranteed rent basis.
02
Room-by-room lettings in shared houses, fully licensed and compliant, with higher yield potential for the right property.
03
A reliable outlet for stock that’s proving hard to let — fast turnaround, no marketing cost to you.
04
Guaranteed-rent solutions for blocks and multi-unit properties, tailored to the property and its requirements.
Many of the properties we manage go on to provide settled housing through our partnerships with government-referred housing programmes.
We work alongside an established, accredited housing organisation contracted by government bodies to provide accommodation for people who need it — individuals and families referred through official housing programmes, often while their circumstances are being resolved. They handle referrals, welfare support and day-to-day tenant management directly, to standards we’re required to meet on every property we take on.
This is one reason the rent we offer is genuinely guaranteed, rather than a marketing promise — it’s backed by a long-term, government-contracted arrangement, not the ordinary ups and downs of the private rental market.
Four steps from first conversation to your first guaranteed payment.
01
We look at the property and the local rental data, and put together a fair offer.
02
You get a written guaranteed rent offer and lease terms — typically 1 to 5 years.
03
We take on tenant referencing, move-in, and day-to-day management from that point on.
04
Your fixed rent lands on the same date each month, occupied or not.
Harbour & May Residentials are run by a landlord who buys, refurbishes and manages property directly.

“We’ve done the conversions, the compliance and the licensing ourselves — so when we manage your property, we know exactly what good looks like.”

Notes on guaranteed rent, HMO licensing and the local rental market — for landlords who like to understand what they’re signing up to.
01
Section 21 has been abolished. Here’s what that means in practice, and why our lease structure sits apart from it.
02
Room sizes, bathroom ratios and fire safety — the local amenity standards that catch landlords out.
03
Beyond the marketing — where the risk actually sits in each arrangement, and what it costs you.
