Guaranteed Rent for Landlords in Birmingham & the West Midlands
A more straightforward way to let your property.
HIGGO Homes Ltd works directly with property owners through professional company-let arrangements, offering guaranteed rent with agreed payment terms and clear contractual responsibilities.
We aim to make letting your property more straightforward, with a direct point of contact and a professional relationship built around clear expectations from the outset.
Why let to HIGGO Homes
More than just a tenant. A professional property partnership.
A company let gives you guaranteed rental income and a clear, contractual relationship with one company, rather than an individual tenancy.
Guaranteed rental income
We agree a rental amount and payment schedule with you. Under the signed company-let agreement, HIGGO Homes is contractually responsible for paying that rent for the agreed term, including periods when the property is unoccupied, subject to the agreement’s terms. Your rent comes from one company, rather than depending on individual occupiers paying you directly.
A company-let agreement
Rather than letting to an individual, you enter into a direct agreement with HIGGO Homes Ltd. In plain terms, the company becomes your tenant, and the agreement sets out the rent, payment terms, duration and what each party is responsible for.
A direct point of contact
You deal with HIGGO Homes directly and always know who to speak to about the arrangement. No call centres or anonymous inboxes, just a professional, approachable working relationship.
Clear expectations from the start
The rent, payment dates, duration, notice provisions and each party’s responsibilities are documented and agreed in the contract before anything begins. We’re also open about how we propose to use the property and any permissions that may be needed, so both sides know exactly where they stand.
Longer-term arrangements where suitable
Where it suits the property and both parties agree, we are open to exploring longer-term company-let agreements, giving you the potential for greater continuity.

Discuss Your PropertyA fair question
Company lets: separating fact from stigma.
Company lets are sometimes met with hesitation, often because of misconceptions, past experiences with unreliable operators or uncertainty around how the arrangements work.
But a company let isn’t automatically a bad deal for a landlord. With the right company, a clear agreement and the correct permissions in place, it can offer a straightforward commercial relationship, agreed rental terms and a different approach to letting your property.
At HIGGO Homes Ltd, we believe in transparency from the outset. We’ll explain how our proposed arrangement works, agree the terms with you and make sure the details are clear before anything moves forward.
Don’t dismiss the possibility. Understand the arrangement.

Landlord FAQs
Company lets and guaranteed rent, explained.
Answers to some of the questions landlords in Birmingham and the West Midlands ask most often. If yours isn’t here, just ask.
What is a company let?
A company let is an arrangement in which a company rents a property directly from its owner under a company-let agreement. The rent, payment terms, duration and each party’s responsibilities are set out in the contract.
Why is a company let different from a traditional tenancy?
A traditional residential tenancy is generally an agreement with the individual or individuals renting the property. With a company let, the agreement is with HIGGO Homes Ltd. This creates a different contractual relationship, with the rental terms, responsibilities and agreed arrangements set out directly between you and our company.
So, what’s in it for the landlord?
Quite simply, a clear commercial arrangement and rental terms you can plan around. We agree the rent, payment dates, proposed duration and responsibilities with you upfront. Under the agreement, HIGGO Homes Ltd commits to paying the contracted rent for the agreed term, including periods when the property is unoccupied, subject to the contract and applicable law.
Is a company let easier to end than a traditional tenancy?
The legal framework for a company let can differ from that of an individual residential tenancy. The applicable rules depend on the agreement and how the property is occupied, so possession is never something we would describe as automatic. We believe in establishing clear contractual terms from the beginning, including duration, notice provisions, breaches and responsibilities, with all arrangements subject to applicable law.
I’ve heard bad things about rent-to-rent. How is this different?
We understand why some landlords and agents approach company lets cautiously. Experiences with unreliable operators can create understandable concerns. At HIGGO Homes Ltd, we want you to understand exactly who you are contracting with, how the arrangement is intended to work and what the agreement covers before you make a decision. We welcome questions and believe transparency is essential to a professional working relationship.
Does guaranteed rent really mean guaranteed?
Our proposed arrangement is designed to provide predictable rental income for the agreed contractual term. HIGGO Homes Ltd commits to the rent specified in the agreement, including during periods when the property is unoccupied, subject to the agreement’s terms and applicable law. We encourage every landlord to review the proposed terms carefully before proceeding.
