Company Let London Fully Managed Offices for Modern Businesses

What if your next tenant wasn’t a private renter but a corporation? In London, company lets are becoming the go-to choice for landlords seeking guaranteed rent and professional occupants.

Company Let London Agreement Fully Managed

A Company Let is an agreement to occupy premises, and the person taking the property is a company rather than a private person. Practically, your property is rented out by the company as it normally looks to accommodate its workforce or its directors through work assignments or relocation.

As it were, you find yourself putting a company as your tenant, and their employees live in the house. To give an example, the London technological company may rent your flat to accommodate an engineer who is coming to work in the area, or a financial firm may rent a house to staff on secondment. This is legalized by a company let agreement, which is like a tenancy contract but oriented to suit an incorporated company.

The Company Let Process: How It Works Step by Step?

If you’re new to the concept, you might wonder how we actually set up a company, let alone manage essential areas such as Asset management. Rest assured, the process with a professional service is straightforward. Below is an outline of a typical process to help you understand what to expect:

  • We discuss your property’s details and assess its suitability for company lets, checking factors like location and safety certificates.
  • We present a letting proposal with a guaranteed rent amount, tenancy length, and services included, outlining terms in a draft Company Let Agreement.
  • We market your property to vetted corporate clients, perform due diligence on prospective tenants, and allow you to approve the company if desired.
  • We sign the Company Let Agreement, collect deposits or guarantees if needed, and coordinate move-in dates and inventory reports.
  • The corporate tenant moves in, and we handle check-in, provide welcome information, and ensure the first month’s rent is paid.
  • We manage landlord responsibilities, handle maintenance issues, and conduct periodic inspections to ensure the property is well-maintained.
  • We discuss renewal options, negotiate terms, and follow the agreed notice procedure if either party chooses not to renew.
  • If the company vacates, we swiftly re-market your property to our network of corporate clients, minimizing downtime and keeping your property earning.
