In our experience, a well-managed property not only attracts high-calibre tenants, it also increases the likelihood of tenants renewing their tenancy for longer.
Being a landlord offers a mix of rewards, responsibilities, and risks. Choosing the right letting service for your property is about finding the right balance between these factors. Our Guaranteed Rent service is ideal for those seeking the financial security of a fixed income with minimal involvement. On the other hand, our Tenant Find service is perfect for landlords who are ready to take on more responsibility and manage their properties independently.
Our Guaranteed Rent Service offers landlords a fixed, reliable income, regardless of tenant behavior or occupancy status. With this service, you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that your rent is paid every month without having to manage tenants or deal with unpredictable vacancies.
While the rent may be slightly lower than the market rate, landlords often achieve better returns overall due to the elimination of vacancies and legal costs. Our service guarantees stress-free management and consistent income.
The Fully Managed Service is perfect for landlords who don't have the time to manage their property themselves. We handle every aspect of the tenancy, similar to the Guaranteed Rent service, but without the guaranteed rental payments.
The Rent Collection service is suited for landlords who are comfortable managing their properties but would like support with financial and administrative tasks.
How it Works:
For landlords who prefer a completely hands-on approach, the Tenant Find service offers assistance with sourcing a suitable tenant while the landlord handles all other responsibilities of the tenancy.
How it Works:
Most of our corporate tenants only rent properties from us because they trust that as also the managing agents, we go over and beyond should anything go wrong. Our landlords understand that consistent care and management of their properties protects their investment enabling them to reap the financial rewards many times over for years to come.
Our personal approach means we are able to design a service specifically tailored to your needs. That being said, we also provide two standard packages that cater to the level of involvement and time you are able to commit to the management of your property.

You do not have to if it is on a buy-to-let mortgage. However, if your property is on a residential mortgage, you will have to get ‘consent to let’ from your lender.
A change in the type of occupancy might affect the building’s insurance. Therefore, you should inform the managing agents or freeholders before you let your property. You should also inform us of any restrictions in your lease that might affect your tenant.
Yes. Your insurer might want to adjust your policy or be unable to continue to provide you with cover. If you fail to inform them, you might find down the line that you are no longer covered.
We offer two main services:
1. Rent Guarantee service, where we become your tenant and pay your rent either each month or 12 months in advance. All of our tenants are working professionals.
2. Standard management package, where we charge a fixed percentage and achieve the highest rent possible.
We can pay your rent in one of two ways:
It’s simple – this will not be your problem as it will be covered by the rent guarantee.
We register all deposits with the government-backed Deposit Protection under their custodial scheme within 30 days of receipt, as required by law.
An Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) typically for a fixed 12-month period.
We conduct a thorough tenant selection and referencing process. We also look after your tenants and maintain good relations with them so such instances are uncommon. However, in the rare event that they cause accidental damage, you have recourse.
We protect you with an up to date inventory complete with detailed photographs and request a deposit equal to a month’s rent from the tenant. Bar reasonable wear and tear, we also return your property to you in the condition we received it at the end of our lease agreement.
We effectively become your tenant, guaranteeing you a fixed rental income. This mean that we will pay your rent every month without fail – even if the tenant fails to pay.
Under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, you are legally responsible for maintaining the structure of your property, the supply of essential services and sanitation. In addition, under the terms of the Tenancy Agreement, you are responsible for items within the property that need repairing or replacing as a result of wear and tear. One of our Property Managers can talk you through this AND if you sign up for the lease option, minor maintenance is covered by us.
We send you a text alert when we pay the rent into your account. We also upload the latest copy of your management statement to your secure online dashboard, which you can access 24 hours a day.
No, never. We only rent to fully vetted working professionals.
We have been in business for nearly two decades. We manage the properties of hundreds of landlords and we continue to grow. In the unlikely event that our business closes down, you are fully protected. All documents and legal policies pertaining to your property are always in your name. You remain the sole beneficiary.
We carry out quarterly inspections and upload the inspection reports for you to view on your online dashboard 24 hours a day. You are also welcome to join us on an inspection should you wish.
If you want to learn more about our services, ask us a question or discuss a specific issue you are currently facing with your property, let’s talk.
Whether you are a hands-on investor in need of well-vetted tenants or a landlord prioritising your free time over the stress and responsibility of managing your property, ABC Gone have the multi-award-winning expertise to help you.
Our full step-by-step process that follows offers some insight into what to expect from our very popular Rent Guarantee service. One key element of our process is that we keep you in the loop every step of the way.
In order to provide an accurate appraisal, one of our highly experienced Property Valuers makes an appointment and visits the property. We take into consideration the location, size and condition of your property together with the state of the local market before providing you with a detailed comparative report.
After our visit, if we are a good fit for each other, one of our ARLA-qualified Property Managers will talk you through your various options. Under our Guaranteed Rent service, we will carry out any pre-agreed enhancements (e.g. refurbishments, de-infestations) and meet all landlord safety obligations (fire and smoke alarm installations, relevant certificates) before putting your property on the rental market.
We attract a constant stream of high-calibre tenants. We have built an enviable reputation with a large number of blue-chip companies who regularly rely on us to help relocate their staff. Our award-winning reputation and commitment to going above and beyond for our tenants also translates into many of them referring their colleagues, family and friends to us.
We do not let out your property on a first-come first-see basis. A viewing is only arranged after an applicant passes our pre-qualification that confirms their suitability, affordability and ability to provide credible references. We carry out as many viewings as is necessary, even out of hours, to quickly secure you a tenant.
Once the tenancy agreement is signed, inventory carried out and meter readings taken, the tenant is moved in. We register the tenant deposit with the government-backed Deposit Protection Service within the 30-day legal requirement. We also notify the council and utility providers of the new tenants
You will receive the rent every month like clockwork – even if your property should ever be empty. We take responsibility for managing your property for the full duration of the lease. We also keep you up to date with what we are up to via monthly management statements and your own secure online dashboard. Your dashboard gives you 24-hour access to all your documentation and offers full transparency into all safety checks and inspections we carry out.
