Case Study: Securing Financial Stability Through Guaranteed Rent in Islington
Overview
Revive Property partnered with a landlord in Highbury & Islington to transform a three-bedroom property into a high-standard HMO, ensuring long-term rental security. The property was in poor condition, requiring extensive updates before it could attract reliable professional tenants.
With the landlord relying on rental income to cover their mortgage and expenses, securing a three-year guaranteed rent contract was crucial. After experiencing the stability and ease of our services, they extended the agreement for another three years, ensuring ongoing financial peace of mind.

The Challenge – A Run-Down Property & Financial Concerns
The landlord approached Revive Property with a property that had suffered from years of neglect. The interiors were outdated, making it difficult to attract quality tenants. However, they were on a tight budget and needed a cost-effective solution to bring the home up to a professional living standard.
At the same time, their mortgage and living expenses depended on steady rental income, so void periods and unreliable tenants were not an option. They needed a solution that provided both property improvements and financial security.
Our Approach – Balancing Budget-Friendly Renovation & Compliance
Strategic Property Updates
-
We worked within the landlord’s budget to prioritise essential refurbishments that would have the biggest impact.
-
The entire property was repainted, giving it a modern, fresh appearance.
-
Bathroom improvements included updated tiling, fixtures, and plumbing repairs to meet professional tenant expectations.
-
Fire doors and interlinked smoke alarms were installed to comply with Islington HMO regulations.
Securing Long-Term Stability
Once the property was brought up to standard, we:
Secured an HMO licence through Islington Council, ensuring full legal compliance.
Implemented a three-year guaranteed rent contract, eliminating financial risk for the landlord.
Found and vetted professional tenants, ensuring a secure, long-term rental arrangement.
Guaranteed Rent – The Key to Financial Security
This fixed-income model was a game-changer for the landlord, allowing them to:
✔ Pay their mortgage and living costs stress-free – no missed payments, no uncertainty.
✔ Avoid tenant turnover risks, with rent paid every month, regardless of occupancy.
✔ Enjoy hassle-free property management, as Revive Property handles everything from tenant issues to maintenance.
After three years of consistent income and seamless management, the landlord happily renewed their contract for another three years, securing a total of six years of financial stability.

What type of company are you?Some people may refer to us as estate agents but we’re far from that. We would call ourselves property managers, specialists in managing properties for landlords and providing accommodation for professional tenants.
-
How do you differ to regular agents/managers?Our aim is to give the landlord complete peace of mind. We guarantee your rent for anything up to 5 years, regardless of the property’s occupancy and essentially become your perfect tenant. In addition to all the benefits and services we offer we feel the major differentiator is that we have a complete vested interest in your property. We do not simply get a % fee once the property is let; we have to ensure the property is running at its maximum capacity at all times. You can rest assured that once we take on your property we will look after it as if it were our own.
-
Why should I trust you?We can always put you in touch with landlords we have worked with in the past. Our sole premise at Revive is to build long standing relationships built on confidence and trust with both our landlords and agents. We are completely transparent as a company in how we operate and our aim is to provide an honest and efficient service to all involved.
