What We Do
We're not your typical property company.
The Unlikely Landlord Properties was founded by a mother and daughter team who know property from both sides — as landlords and as tenants. We started this business because we believed there had to be a better way: one built on honesty, proper communication, and actually caring about the people involved.
We offer two core services — guaranteed rent for landlords who want certainty, and quality managed properties for tenants who want a home, not just a house.
Guaranteed Rent
Fixed monthly income. No voids. No stress.
Property Management
Full management so you never have to worry.
Joint Venture
A family business built on trust and transparency.
For Landlords
Guaranteed Rent. Every Month. Without Fail.
Your property. Our responsibility.
Tired of chasing rent, dealing with voids, or managing difficult tenants? Our guaranteed rent scheme means you receive a fixed monthly payment — whether the property is occupied or not. No surprises. No stress. Just reliable income, month after month.
We take on full management of your property, find and vet tenants, handle all maintenance queries, and return it to you in the same condition at the end of the agreement.
Guaranteed Monthly Rent
Paid on time, every time — even during void periods.
No Letting Agent Fees
No hidden charges. What we agree is what you get.

Why Choose Us
Property done properly.
The difference is in how we treat people.
We Know Both Sides
We've been landlords and tenants. That means we understand what matters to both — and we never forget it.
Founder-Led, Always
We're a founder-led business, which means the people who built this are the people looking after your property. That's not something a big agency can offer.
Honest from Day One
We say what we mean and mean what we say. If something isn't the right fit, we'll tell you straight — because a relationship built on honesty is worth more than a quick deal.
Built on a Handshake
This is a family business. Our reputation is everything to us — which means your property and your home are in safe hands.
Property shaped around possibility — not the other way round.

Questions worth asking.
Guaranteed rent means we pay you a fixed monthly amount for your property — whether it's occupied or not. We take on the risk of void periods so you don't have to. You get consistent income without the uncertainty that comes with traditional letting.
Typically, the guaranteed rent figure is slightly below open market rate — but when you factor in no void periods, no letting agent fees, no maintenance headaches, and no chasing rent, most landlords find they're better off overall. We'll always be upfront about the figures so you can make the right decision for you.
We manage everything — tenant sourcing, referencing, check-ins, maintenance, and compliance. We treat your property as if it were our own, and we return it to you in the same condition at the end of the agreement. You'll receive regular updates and can always reach us directly.
We offer flexible agreement terms depending on your situation. Whether you're looking for a short-term arrangement or a longer commitment, we'll find something that works for both parties. We'll discuss this fully during your free consultation.
None. What we agree is what you get. We don't charge letting fees, management fees, or any other costs on top. Everything is laid out clearly before you sign anything.
Get in touch through our contact form or give us a call. We'll have a straightforward conversation about what you're looking for, walk you through the available properties, and guide you through the referencing process step by step.
Standard referencing includes an employment or income check, a previous landlord reference, and a credit check. We'll explain exactly what's needed upfront and keep you informed throughout — no surprises.
Your deposit is always registered with a government-approved tenancy deposit scheme within the legal timeframe. You'll receive full details of the scheme at the start of your tenancy.
Report it to us directly and we'll get it sorted. We take maintenance seriously — a well-maintained property is better for everyone. You won't be left waiting weeks for a response or chasing someone who never picks up.
Us — directly. You'll have our contact details from day one and you'll always reach someone who knows your property. There's no call centre, no ticketing system, just a real conversation with the people responsible for your home.
