The local market
Letting a flat within the Square Mile's limited housing stock
The City of London is first and foremost a business district, with a small residential population. Many of its homes are in the Barbican Estate, the Grade II listed Brutalist complex around the Barbican Centre, and the nearby Golden Lane Estate, with further flats around Aldgate, Smithfield and Fleet Street and in a handful of converted and newer buildings. That means opportunities to let here are limited, and each property is worth managing carefully.
Tenants are usually people who want to live close to work, such as finance, insurance and legal professionals, staff at St Bartholomew's Hospital and students at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, along with residents who value the Barbican Centre on their doorstep. Leasehold flats often come with building or estate rules, so check that yours permits subletting. Denhan's lease then takes day-to-day management off your hands.

Why Denhan in City of London
Why guaranteed rent can suit a City of London flat
With so few homes available and most tenants working within walking distance, a flat in the City has a natural pool of renters, yet owners who work long hours themselves may not have time to manage it. Denhan leases the flat for a fixed term, handles referencing, maintenance and inspections, and pays the same rent every month.

Your questions
Guaranteed rent in City of London: your questions
The questions landlords in City of London ask us most.
Still have a question?
Our team can talk you through the lease, the rent and what happens next for your property.
My Barbican flat is in a Grade II listed building. Can I still lease it to Denhan?
Listed status mainly affects alterations to a building rather than whether a flat can be let. Before offering a lease, Denhan visits your flat, checks that it meets rental standard and values it. It is also worth confirming that your lease and the estate's rules allow subletting. Once everything is in place, the contract is signed and vetted, referenced tenants move in.
I travel a lot for work. Who would look after my leasehold flat on the Golden Lane Estate?
Denhan would. Tenants can use our 24 hour emergency maintenance call-out, and repairs within the flat are carried out by our in-house team of more than 30 qualified tradespeople. We inspect the property at least three times a year, and a free photographic inventory signed by the tenant records its condition at the outset, so you do not need to be on hand.
Homes in the Square Mile are scarce. How long would I be committed to a lease?
That is your choice. Denhan offers lease terms from one to five years, and the rent is guaranteed for the whole of whichever term you agree. A shorter lease keeps your options open, while a longer one fixes your income for more years. Either way, rent is paid by BACS on the same day every month and there is no commission.
