The local market
The Islington lettings market, from Angel to Archway
A lot of housing variety is packed into this compact inner London borough. A walk from Clerkenwell to Archway takes in Georgian terraces in Barnsbury and Canonbury, Victorian houses divided into flats in Highbury and Holloway, and modern apartment buildings near City Road. With space at a premium, well-kept one- and two-bedroom flats are what many tenants in Islington are looking for.
Renters here include professionals working in the City and Clerkenwell, staff and students at London Metropolitan University on Holloway Road, and clinicians at the Whittington Hospital. Match days at the Emirates Stadium and busy evenings on Upper Street are part of everyday life. Guaranteed rent lets you own a home in the thick of it without handling tenancies, repairs or void periods yourself.

Why Denhan in Islington
Why guaranteed rent suits flats and period conversions
Rental stock in this part of London leans heavily towards flats in period conversions and managed blocks, where one leak can affect the neighbours and each changeover needs careful handling. A guaranteed rent lease puts those responsibilities with Denhan, including 24 hour emergency call-outs and regular inspections, while your rent arrives on the same day every month.

Your questions
Guaranteed rent in Islington: your questions
The questions landlords in Islington ask us most.
Still have a question?
Our team can talk you through the lease, the rent and what happens next for your property.
Can you take on a flat in a Georgian or Victorian conversion in Canonbury or Barnsbury?
Period conversions can be a good fit. We visit to check the flat is at rental standard and to value it, then agree a lease of one to five years. Our in-house team of over 30 qualified tradespeople handles maintenance for the length of the lease, which matters in older buildings, where a small problem left unattended can soon spread to the flat below.
How do you check tenants for a flat near Holloway Road or Archway?
Every tenant Denhan places is vetted and referenced before moving in. They then sign a free photographic inventory recording the condition of the flat and its contents, giving a clear record for the end of the tenancy. Throughout the lease we inspect the property at least three times a year, and tenants can reach our 24 hour emergency maintenance line whenever they need it.
If my Clerkenwell flat is empty between tenants, who pays the bills?
While it is on a guaranteed rent lease, that is our responsibility. If the flat is vacant, Denhan keeps paying your rent and the utility bills, and council tax is covered for any empty period during the guarantee. Your payment still arrives by BACS on the same day each month, so a gap between tenants does not become a gap in your income.
