What to check on a London rent-to-rent deal
- Written landlord consent to sublet, and confirmation the owner's mortgage, lease and insurance allow it
- A company let or management agreement reviewed by a solicitor since the Renters' Rights Act came into force
- What happens to occupiers if the agreement ends early or isn't renewed
- Licensing, Article 4 and (for serviced accommodation) planning and short-let rules for the exact address
- Realistic income: room rents or nightly rates and occupancy from comparable local listings, not best-case figures
- All set-up costs: deposit, sourcing fee, furnishing, compliance work and a cash buffer for voids
Local checks in London
- Whole-home short lets in Greater London are limited to 90 nights a year without planning permission, so check how any rent-to-SA deal plans to operate
- Many London boroughs run additional or selective licensing on top of mandatory HMO licensing — check the borough's current scheme
- Check the lease or landlord consent for subletting and short-term letting, especially for flats
- Compare rents and nightly rates against the specific postcode district, not London averages
Licensing and planning rules change. Always confirm the current position with the local council for the exact address.
Rent-to-rent deals in London: FAQs
How much does a rent-to-rent deal in London cost?
You pay the owner's monthly rent plus upfront costs: usually a deposit of around a month's rent, any sourcing fee, furnishing and compliance work, and enough cash to cover the first months of voids. The figures on this page show the current median rent and deposit for live London rent-to-rent deals on PID.
Is rent-to-rent legal?
Yes, provided the owner gives written consent, their mortgage, lease and insurance allow subletting, and the property meets licensing, safety and planning rules. Many deals go wrong because consent or licensing is assumed rather than confirmed in writing.
Can I run serviced accommodation from a London rent-to-rent deal?
Sometimes. It needs the owner's explicit consent to short-term letting, a lease and mortgage that allow it, and compliance with local planning rules. Check each London listing's description for whether it is offered for R2R, R2SA or both.
