Innovative ‘Rent on Time’ product guaranteed to safeguard London landlords’ income as private rented sector doubles in size

  • London’s private rented sector has doubled in size since 1991 (London Assembly)
  • £240 million of late rent owed across England & Wales (May 2014, LSL Property Services)
  • Innovative new Rent on Time product guaranteed to safeguard landlords‘ income

According to the London Assembly London’s private rented sector (PRS) has doubled in size over the last decade, now accounting for 1 in 4 households.

A trend witnessed from Lands’ End to John O’Groats, the PRS continues to grow at a staggering rate with new research by Direct Line Insurance stating that 3.2 million homeowners in the UK are planning to rent out parts of their property or their whole property as a short term let, or take part in a house swap during the next 12 months.

Managing rental properties can be a profitable business as long as you manage your cash flow successfully. The biggest factor for landlords affecting cash flow management is the ability to collect rent on time, as more often than not, at one time or another, landlords are bound to have a tenant who pays their rent late – or worse not at all!

In fact the latest data from LSL Property Services reveals that some £240 million of late rent was owed across England & Wales in May 2014.
