Rent Guarantee

Can you afford to meet your financial obligations on your rental property if your Tenant hasn’t paid their rent? Can you afford the legal bill to evict your Tenant if that is needed? For most Landlords the answer to these questions is no. As a professional managing agents Oakfield would not be providing you with the best service or advice if we didn’t provide you with an option for rent guarantee cover.

Over the years rent guarantee cover has evolved significantly, particularly post pandemic where Tenants found themselves unable to make their rental payments and may Landlords faced months of uncertainty.

Oakfield offer rent guarantee cover provided by Rightmove and we are confident this policy is currently one of the best in the market.

Zero Deposit

The cost of moving is ever increasing for Tenants and by offering Zero Deposit with your property this helps reduce the upfront costs for Tenants making your property more appealing. Furthermore, Zero Deposit offers you as a Landlord 6 weeks cover compared to the 5 weeks cover that a traditional deposit will offer you. With reduced upfront costs for a Tenant and better cover for our Landlords we would encourage our Landlords to discuss this further with one of our team.
