For landlords and letting agents

Do any of these take up more time than they should?

Void periods

Empty weeks and unpredictable rental income.

Late rent

Late payments, difficult conversations and uncertainty each month.

Repairs

Maintenance issues, messages and contractors to coordinate.

Re-letting

Time spent on enquiries and viewings that go nowhere.

Changeovers

Another handover, another reset and another tenant search.

A simpler way to let

We take care of those day-to-day pressures.

You deal with one tenant, not multiple guests. We manage the property day-to-day and pay the agreed rent each month.

For letting agents, that means one accountable company tenant and a straightforward relationship for your landlord.

One tenant, one agreement

Silver Lining Stays rents the whole property from you for a fixed term and pays you guaranteed rent every month. We manage it as furnished accommodation for corporate and private guests, and you deal with us throughout, not the people staying in the property.

Your tenant is our company, not a person. Letting agents know this as a company let.

Consistent care for your property

Your property is cleaned and prepared between stays, with routine upkeep handled throughout the agreement.

  • A person wipes a wooden coffee table in a sitting room with a stone fireplace, a grey sofa and tall windows.

    Prepared for every stay.

    We clean and prepare the property between stays. During longer stays, cleaning is arranged with the people staying there.

  • A small maintenance task being handled carefully inside a home.

    Day-to-day care you do not have to chase.

    We take care of routine maintenance and everyday issues, helping the property remain comfortable and ready for the people staying there.

  • When something more significant comes up, we contact you first. We explain what we found, what we recommend and what it is likely to cost.

Could your property be a good fit?

We consider properties across London and do not currently restrict enquiries by area, size or property type.

  1. Mortgage and lease permissions: if the property is mortgaged, the lender must allow this arrangement. If it is leasehold, the lease and any freeholder requirements must allow it too.
  2. Safety and licensing: the property must have the safety certificates and licences required for letting.

Not sure whether everything is in place? Ask anyway. We can discuss what may be needed before anything is agreed.

How it works

One agreement, one point of contact and one monthly payment.

How guaranteed rent works, from first enquiry to signed agreement

  1. You agree the rent and terms

    The monthly rent, fixed term and responsibilities are agreed in writing.

  2. We become your company tenant

    You have one agreement and one point of contact.

  3. We manage the property day to day

    We furnish it if needed, manage every stay, arrange cleaning and handle routine upkeep.

  4. You receive rent every month

    The agreed rent is paid monthly throughout the term, whether the property is occupied or not.

Questions landlords and agents ask

Do I still get paid if nobody is staying?

Yes. The agreed rent is paid monthly in advance throughout the term. It does not depend on whether a guest is staying in the property.

Can the rent ever stop?

In normal circumstances, no. The agreed rent is paid every month throughout the term. It would pause if serious damage covered by your buildings insurance, such as a fire or flood, made the home unusable, and would restart as soon as the home could be used again.

How long am I committed for?

The term is agreed before anything is signed. Any notice periods and break options are set out clearly in the agreement, so both sides know where they stand.

Who stays in my property, and who decides?

Corporate and private guests who need furnished accommodation for weeks or months. We decide who stays and manage every booking, and Silver Lining Stays remains your tenant and your point of contact throughout.

Who repairs what?

We handle the day-to-day care of the property and routine maintenance. You remain responsible for structural repairs, major building systems and significant property issues. This includes the roof, external walls, boiler and central heating, as well as serious leaks, damp or mould caused by a building defect. The full responsibility split is set out clearly in the agreement.

What am I still responsible for?

You remain responsible for the building, suitable buildings insurance and the safety certificates or licences required for letting. We explain the full split before anything is signed.

I am a letting agent. What are you, exactly?

Silver Lining Stays is a company tenant, not another agency. We rent the whole property on one agreement, pay the agreed rent monthly and manage the guest stays ourselves.

Why not let the property in the usual way?

A traditional tenancy can work well. Our arrangement is for landlords who prefer one company tenant, an agreed monthly rent and no day-to-day guest management.
