Why Smart Landlords Across London Choose London Estate Agency for Rent Protection
In the evolving landscape of the London rental market, landlords face more risk than ever.
With rising rent arrears, stricter legislation, and longer eviction processes, rent protection has become an essential tool, not just an optional add-on.
At London Estate Agency, we understand landlords’ pressures—because we work with them daily.
That’s why we’ve built a fully integrated Tenant Screening & Rent Protection service designed to shield your income and safeguard your investment.
The Reality: Tenant Defaults Are on the Rise
Inflation, job insecurity, and a general cost-of-living crisis impact tenants throughout the capital.
Even those with strong references at the start of the tenancy can fall into arrears unexpectedly.
For landlords, this means weeks—or even months—of unpaid rent. But with Rent Protection through London Estate Agency, your income doesn’t stop.
We ensure that landlords continue receiving rent even if a tenant can’t or won’t pay.
Legal Processes Are Slower and Costlier Than Ever
The days of quick evictions are over. With Section 21 “no-fault” evictions being phased out, landlords must now pursue Section 8 routes, which can be time-consuming and complex.
Our Rent Protection service also includes legal expense coverage, helping landlords deal with solicitors, court proceedings, and bailiff appointments without the stress of the bill.
What Makes Our Rent Protection Different?
At London Estate Agency, we don’t just sell policies—we manage the entire process for you. Our in-house team handles:
Professional tenant referencing to insurer-approved standards
Automated rent collection and arrears management
Claims handling on your behalf, from paperwork to payout
Legal assistance during disputes and eviction cases
This means you’re entirely covered from when a tenancy begins—all under one roof.
Rent Protection Is Not a Cost—It’s an Investment
Let’s break it down: say your tenant pays £2,000 monthly and falls into six-month arrears.
That’s £12,000 in lost income—not including legal costs or property damage. With our Rent Protection, that income is fully covered, and we’ll even handle the eviction process on your behalf.
You’re protecting yourself from thousands of potential losses for a low annual fee.

New landlords looking for secure returns from day one

FAQs – Rent Protection with London Estate Agency
Do I need Rent Protection if I’ve done tenant referencing?
Yes. Referencing only reduces the risk—it doesn’t eliminate it. Even tenants with strong references can face sudden life changes.
Our service combines both referencing and protection for complete peace of mind.
Is this available to existing tenancies?
In most cases, yes. We’ll review your tenancy and references to determine eligibility. If needed, we can re-reference tenants to bring you up to standard.
What if the tenant pays partial rent?
Our policy is designed to cover shortfalls, so if your tenant pays part of the rent, we’ll still top up the difference according to the terms.
Do you handle the claim process for me?
Yes. From serving notice to submitting claims, our team handles everything, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Is it tax deductible?
In most cases, Rent Protection Insurance can be claimed as a business expense, reducing your taxable rental income.
