Why landlords choose Gecko Urban
A simpler, steadier way to let your property
Built around the realities of long-term ownership: consistent income, reduced operational risk, and a single trusted point of contact for everything that happens between today and the end of your agreement.
Guaranteed rent for up to five years
A fixed monthly payment, agreed in advance and paid in full for the duration of the contract — regardless of occupancy.
Complimentary refurbishment & furnishing
Selected cosmetic improvements and furnishing may be provided at our cost where appropriate, presenting your property to attract long-stay professional tenants.
Full tenant & maintenance management
Rent collection, tenant liaison, day-to-day maintenance and contractor oversight — coordinated entirely by our team.
Optional purchase pathway
Where it suits your long-term goals, we can structure an agreed purchase option at the end of the term.
Local expertise, professional tenants
Strong relationships with employers and professional networks across the South Coast help ensure a consistent pipeline of vetted, high-quality occupants.
Risk reduced, ownership simplified
One agreement, one point of contact, one predictable monthly figure — designed for landlords who want passive income without compromise.
The Renters' Rights Act
The biggest shake-up to UK renting in a generation.
The Renters' Rights Act introduces sweeping changes to how tenancies are created, managed and ended. For private landlords, the day-to-day reality of letting is becoming more complex, more regulated and less forgiving of mistakes.
Section 21 abolished
No-fault evictions are gone. Ending a tenancy now requires specific statutory grounds, proper notice and, in many cases, formal court process.
Periodic tenancies by default
Fixed-term ASTs are being replaced with rolling periodic tenancies, giving tenants greater flexibility and landlords less predictability over occupancy.
Higher compliance burden
A new landlord ombudsman, a national property portal, stricter standards and tighter rules around rent increases mean more admin and more risk of penalties.
Why now
The right moment to switch to managed.
Under our guaranteed rent agreement, the day-to-day operational and compliance burden is managed by us on your behalf. Compliance, tenant relations, notices, deposits and ombudsman matters are handled in-house, while your monthly rent continues uninterrupted. It's the calmest way to keep letting through the change.
