Tired of tenants, repairs and empty months?

Most landlords who call us aren't short of a house. They're short of patience. Guaranteed rent takes all of this off your plate.

Tenants who don't pay
Arrears, chasing, and months to get the house back.
Empty months
Every void is a month of mortgage with no rent coming in.
Repairs that never stop
The boiler, the damp, the 9pm phone call.
New rules every year
Section 21 has gone and the Renters' Rights Act brings more.

What happens to your house

We don't sell it, and we don't fill it with short-term tenants. A regulated care or housing provider uses it as a home for the people they support, on a long lease.

Questions we get asked on calls

Is guaranteed rent really guaranteed?

Yes. The rent is written into your lease with Famill. We pay it every month for the whole term, whether the house is lived in or empty.

Is it less than market rent?

We aim to match what you'd keep from a normal let, after agent fees, empty months and repairs. Your figure shows the numbers in writing, so you can compare.

What happens if the care provider leaves?

Nothing changes for you. Your lease is with Famill, so your rent keeps coming. Finding the next provider is our job.

Who pays for repairs?

Not you. We arrange day-to-day repairs and maintenance. Your only cost is your mortgage, if you have one.

Is this the same as a council guaranteed rent scheme?

No. Council schemes usually house a family on a tenancy. With Famill, you lease to us, and we place a regulated care or housing provider.

Does the rent go up?

We agree it with you before you sign. If you need it to rise during the lease, we'll build that in.

There are tenants in my house now. Can I still do this?

Yes. The house needs to be empty before the lease starts. We'll agree a plan and a start date with you.

Is Famill a real, registered company?

Yes. Famill Property Limited, company number 14061481. We're in the Property Redress Scheme (PRS055497) and registered with the ICO (ZC045864).
