Landlord Stories
Imagine if you could take all the best parts of being a landlord, and free yourself from the drama, worry and admin that comes with it. Ascott does just that, saving you time and sleepless nights with our ‘let and forget’ guaranteed rent service. Our Guaranteed Rent Scheme is head and shoulders above other companies according to our landlords.
We’ve been blazing a trail in the London and Bedford property market, taking the headache out of renting for local landlords while showing agents how lettings should be done. Sound too good to be true? It isn’t – backed contracts allow us to act as a guarantor for up to 5 years on every property you own.
So far, we’ve transformed the lives (and portfolios!) of over 120+ landlords with our guaranteed rent scheme. Want to be next? It’s time to let our story become yours…

From Nightmare Tenant to Dream Tenant
​
​
I found myself facing every landlord’s nightmare having to deal with bad tenants, complaints from neighbours, non-payment of rent and a trashed property. I faced a prolonged eviction process which left me exhausted, costing me so much time, money and stress which I had to go through it to get my property back.
“I felt my soul and property was destroyed and wanted to give up being a Landlord.”
After the eviction, I didn’t know which way to turn and a friend recommended I meet with Mavi from Ascott for a coffee.
Ascott was the light at the end of the tunnel.
They offered to survey the property and get quotations for the repairs. They agreed to rent the property, project manage the repairs and give me an interest free loan offset against the rent. It was something dreams are made of; no other Agent would offer this service.
The team at Ascott now manage my properties taking away all my worries and concerns and I’m enjoying being a landlord again.
From an Everyday Landlord to VIP
All the time the rent was being collected I wasn’t looking to switch Agent and then I received notice on 30% of my portfolio in the same week!
My Letting Agent then informed me of their 100% fee increases to find new tenants, blaming the Tenant Fee Ban, meaning a huge reduction in the income from my rental properties.
“Shocked, having been a loyal landlord for a number of years I was being asked for such a substantial fee increase.”
Then I remembered, I had kept some marketing material from The Ascott which I had put on my noticeboard, so glad I kept it.
The next day I spoke with Mavi and we arranged to meet and talk about my portfolio. He said, he had several calls from Landlords facing similar fee increases. Mavi did a few calculations and then gave me his proposal.
I was amazed by what Ascott was offering, their guaranteed rent scheme was so much better than I had experienced before and of course, I snapped it up.
My only regret, I hadn’t contacted Mavi sooner. I have now placed all my properties on the VIP waiting list, so as soon as they become available, I will be switching them across to The Rent Guarantee Company.
Lightening speed, from void to income generating
“I’ve just attended one of the VIP landlord Events with Ascott at The Manor of Groves and I have to say…
I had an empty 1 bedroom property that I wanted to test Ascott. They came and viewed, agreed the rental amount and signed the contract in lightening speed, so I was back receiving rental income straight away, after it had been empty for some time
I really like how they work and look forward to offering my other properties when they become available which I’ve put on their VIP waiting list.”
Hands on and caring
Want to leave a personal review for Sam in particular, to say how grateful and thankful I am in how she helped my mother in the transition from her old home to her new home. She was available to answer any questions and was always professional, polite, courteous, and funny. She is a great asset to the team (give her a pay rise) 5 stars
