For landlords
Everything you need to know about how Calcot Living works.
Guaranteed rent
Your rent is paid monthly by standing order, in advance, regardless of occupancy. We do not pay you when a room is filled — we pay you because we have agreed to. That is the whole point of a company agreement.
There are no deductions, no management percentages, and no surprises. The figure we agree at the outset is the figure that arrives in your account every month.
No voids and no fees
We carry the occupancy risk. If a professional guest leaves and the property sits empty for a week, that is our problem, not yours. Your income does not change.
There are no letting agent fees, no management company fees, and no renewal charges. We are not a letting agent. We are a business that has agreed to pay you rent, and we honour that agreement.
Your property looked after
We provide serviced accommodation to professionals, contractors and relocating employees. That means the property is cleaned every week, linen is changed regularly, and a monthly inspection is carried out.
Small maintenance issues — a dripping tap, a blown bulb, a sticking door — are dealt with straight away at our cost. We do not wait for things to become bigger problems. Our guests are working people on managed stays, not long-term tenants. The property is treated accordingly.
One agreement
You sign a single company lease with Calcot Living, typically for three to five years, with a clear exit mechanism. There are no individual tenancies to manage, no referencing to carry out, and no deposit protection to administer.
Because the occupier is a company — not an assured tenant — the Renters' Rights Act does not apply. You are not exposed to the complications that come with individual residential tenancies.
Suitable properties
We are looking for two, three and four-bedroom apartments and houses in locations where professionals and contractors need to stay: near business parks, hospitals, stations and town centres.
We operate in the South East and North West of England. Whole blocks are especially welcome — a single agreement covering multiple units is straightforward to manage and gives you complete certainty across your portfolio.
If you are not sure whether your property fits, get in touch. We will tell you honestly.
