Your rent gets paid every month. On a fixed date. Whether your property is occupied or not.
SmartSpace takes on your property on a 3-5 year lease and pays you directly — no void periods, no commission, no tenant calls. We’ve been doing this across London for over 10 years, and we work directly with Croydon Council as an official housing provider.

Barking to Westminster. Croydon to Camden. Wherever your property is, we can cover it.
Our team has been working across London for over 10 years. We know the rental market borough by borough — what tenants expect, what councils need, what rents are realistic. That local knowledge means we can offer a competitive rent quickly and back it up with the right tenants.
Before we start, we check your property against our minimum standards. Safety compliance, condition, habitability. This protects you, us, and the people who’ll be living there.
If something needs attention before the lease can begin, we’ll tell you clearly and point you in the right direction. Download the full criteria below.
It suits landlords who want certainty over everything else. If you’ve had void periods, late payments, or just don’t want to deal with tenants any more — it’s worth a conversation.
It also makes sense if you’re managing properties from outside London, if you have multiple properties and want less complexity, or if you’re thinking about how the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 changes your exposure. With Section 21 gone and periodic tenancies becoming the default, recovering your property under a standard AST is slower and harder than it used to be. Under a SmartSpace lease, we’re the tenant. That legislation doesn’t apply to us. Your terms stay exactly as agreed.
The trade-off is straightforward. Your guaranteed rent will be at or close to market rate, but you remove void periods, arrears, management time, and all the costs that come with them. Most landlords find the net position is similar or better over a full year.
We’ve been doing this for over 10 years. We’re an official housing provider with a direct working relationship with Croydon Council and connections with local authorities across London.
We don’t use Airbnb or short-let platforms. Our tenants are long-term, council-referred or professionally referenced. That matters if you care about how your property is being used and looked after.
Hundreds of London landlords trust us with their properties. A lot of them have been with us across multiple lease cycles. That’s not something you hold onto by cutting corners.
We’re an official housing provider with a direct working relationship with Croydon Council and over 10 years operating across London. Every landlord gets a dedicated account manager. We don’t use short-let platforms. And we don’t treat you like a number.
We provide a written offer within 24 hours of the valuation. Once the lease is signed and the final inspection done, payments usually start within days. The whole process can take as little as one to two weeks.
Houses, flats and maisonettes across all London boroughs. The property needs to meet our minimum standards for safety and condition. We check this during the free valuation and tell you clearly if anything needs sorting before the lease can begin.
Nothing changes for you. SmartSpace is the tenant under your lease. Tenant arrears are our problem to manage. Your rent arrives on the agreed date regardless.
The Act abolishes Section 21 and fixed-term tenancies, making it harder to regain possession of a property under a standard letting. Under a SmartSpace lease, we’re the tenant — so those changes don’t apply to your agreement with us. Your income and your terms are fixed for the duration of the lease.
Insurance pays out after a tenant defaults — after a claims process, with excesses and waiting periods, and it doesn’t cover voids. Our guaranteed rent is a lease, not a policy. You get paid every month regardless, with no claims, no gaps, no admin.
Yes. We offer lease terms of 3 to 5 years. We’ll discuss what works for your situation and make a recommendation based on the property and your goals.
