The beauty of Guaranteed Rent is how simple it is. Our aim is to make your life easier whilst giving you the certainty when times can be so uncertain.

Here are some examples on how our Guaranteed Rent service can make being a landlord a stress-free experience. If you have ended up with a second property, but don't want the responsibility of being a landlord, our Guaranteed Rent service means we handle all of the responsibility and financial risk.
We become your tenant therefore ensuring that you get a fixed rental income each month. We then sub-let your property on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST). You will receive your rent each month whether there is a tenant in place or not or if the tenant stops paying, unless the property is rendered uninhabitable.

5 stars are very less for Mr. Robert King. I would advice anyone wanting to buy a house or rent a house to go to Northwood Romford for a delightful experience. Robert is very cooperative, patient and always answers your call which no estate agent does nowadays. Even post the sale the follow up was really impressive. I can't thank Robert enough for his time and assistance.

Landlords avoid at all costs. Constantly chasing the rent for my property. Never paid on time!

Total rubbish agency if you are a tenant they always mess you around on repairs. They never get back to you when they say they will they feed you a load of old nonsense. I have had 2 so called supervisors say to me over the past few months about a fence repair. "Well if you don't like it then you know what you can do" I have even been accused of damaging the fence myself.

I have been a model tenant with them for over 10 years now and it is the same old story with them everyone something needs doing. I would give them minus stars if possible. Now having finally getting ot into a new place the thieves are refusing to pay my 1 months extra rent back that I paid at the begining. I paid 2 months rent upfront

We originally opted for an e-contract but we were not clear how the process would work. Particularly we were concerned about the fact that e-payment of rents and contract completion do not happen at the same time, creating huge uncertainty to us. I realised the problem and went to the branch. It was a Saturday and they were about to close. However, once they understood my concern, Sharon and Brian quickly suggested a workable solution. Sharon, in particular, co-ordinated different parties to get the contract completed in a pragmatic, efficient, flexible and professional way.

She went the extra mile and made sure the matter was sorted, even if it meant working overtime. Thanks Sharon and the Romford office for their efficiency and professionalism. I hope the experience after move-in will be as great too.

Absolutely stream less from beginning to end, no hassle or complications they dealt with everything so professionally which took the pressure off me and made it look so easy.

I've known Brian from Northwood Romford since 2013 when I first rented a property from him. Until now I am grateful for all the services he's provided. I've recommended a lot of people to Northwood Romford because I know that they won't and haven't been let down by the team. I speak very highly of Brian and Adam as they always quick to respond to any queries and their services are at an exceptional level.

I have recently used Northwood to rent out my house after they were recommended to me via a friend who had also used them for the past few years. They have been great, my rent has been paid on time each month, and they have always responded to any questions I've had very quickly. A special thanks to Brian, Sharon and the rest of the team for going above and beyond and making this a stress free process for me.

I would have been satisfied with your service if I was not given a hope then after the viewing. I viewed the property last Thursday as the first applicant and gave the application after the viewing. Then I waited for one week for your response. In between someone rang me up from the agency and told that everything was fine with my application but the landlord just want to let others also yo view the property as they had booked viewing already. Did not get any more response from your side, so I did ring up twice to the agency and was told that my application is still valid.

As I did not get any updates even after a week, I rang up today morning and got the information that my application was unsuccessful. By doing this, your staff wasted my time and gave me false assurance, also did not even bother to let me know about the outcome of the application and the reason for rejection. Hence I feel my experience with the agency was not that good.

The property I moved into not only was it dirty, there were chunks of god knows what caked on the floor I had to literally scrape it all off then clean it. The fireplace had tea or coffee stains all over it, the carpets were not clean so I had to clean them myself. The fridge was disgusting it was tinged with the smell of curry so that all had to be cleaned before use.

When my fridge freezer stopped working they told me to get the fridge freezer from the cellar and use that. It was covered in mould all in the ceils and I had to buy sugar soap to scrub it after asking for help to get a fridge freezer up from the cellar which they didn't supply. I've had damp and mould in my home for years which they did absolutely nothing about only send me a patronising leaflet about condensation and tell me to ventilate the property. The mould and damp ruined my furniture, clothes and shoes and they took no responsibility just told me to claim it on my insurance which means it will cost me more money

My first property had to be rented out when I moved in with my boyfriend, and i wanted an agent i could trust to handle it for me - I'm too busy for the day to day. Gosia sold me the Guarnateed Rent option, and it is ideal - I get rent paid no matter what happens, and even when its empty, i didn;t know such schemes existed and Gosia and her team are very reassuring. Highly recommended!

After collecting the keys to what we thought would be our home, we was disgusted to find the property so dirty. After paying such a large deposit to have a pet in the property and signing to agree to fumigate when we moved out, the property was covered in dog hair! Dog hair was stuck to the walls and dog mess present in the garden. The windows were filthy or was it the previous tenants dogs nose art and we should have appricated the extra little treat!?

The kitchen was full of grease and was scrapped off in chunks, making a truckers greasy spoon like a 5 star restaurant. I was told by Tina the manager to just detail it on the inventory and my comments would be noted! I was told that when we moved out these items would be taken in to consideration and the property was let as seen. So basically live with it. So people when you view a property with Northwood make sure you look at how the other person lives and what little extras You may receive rent free!

I have have been using the Northampton Branch of Northwood for many years now. They have always been excellent to deal with much better than my previous agent!. I have found the staff are professional and incredibly helpful. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to rent in Northamptonshire.

After constantly having issues with my previous letting agent I decided to change to Northwood Northampton on their guaranteed rent scheme. I can't believe how easy it has been since changing its exactly as they said it would be and the staff have always been a pleasure to deal with. Many thanks and keep up the good work;

On the day of check out I was ill in bed, my ex said he would take some of the furniture back to my flat for me. Northwood was completing the checkout and my ex was asked to sign off the inventory without my consent or knowledge. I was well enough to get to the flat at approx 4:00pm the same day and noticed the damage to the bedside table. I contacted Northwood straight away but was told they had released the deposit already.

I asked how can they release without my consent and was told my ex had signed the papers (I'm the sole owner of the property). Northwood took it upon themselves to return the deposit and asked someone to sign legal paperwork when they didn't have my consent and they knew the person didn't have any legal rights (my ex is a friend of the Directors at Northwood).

Northwood have also contradicted themselves over who holds the deposit, my previous tenants deposit was transferred into my name, this time it wasn't even though I requested at the beginning of the tenancy agreement. Both of my tenants have complained about poor service too.

Gosia recently assisted in the sale/purchase of a property, she was brilliantly helpful, going above and beyond to assist in negotiations, providing a level of transparency and honesty that was a credit to her. Thank you!

Having made use of the Platinum service for 13 years I would have no hesitation in recommending Andy and his team at Northwood. The service gave me peace of mind when I was overseas, Communication was always friendly and professional and I knew my property was in safe hands at all times.

Exceptional people all with a helpful and professional approach - I loved the way Jadine handled things for my move, dealing with some things I needed the landlord to do - made my move a breeze!
Ryan Weatherley
Best agent i've come across: helped me to deal with real problems caused by my previous Leicester agent who had not done the paperwork properly and were treating my tenant appallingly - both me and the tenant simply didn't know where we stood. There's too many cowboys out there - switch to an agent that behaves professionally, I'd say. Thank you Northwood, especially Gosia
