Guaranteed rent on time and in full EVERY month
The Frost Partnership offers landlords the opportunity to take out a Guaranteed Rent Policy specifically designed to ensure your property is fully protected from all potential liabilities including loss of rent, damages and legal cover. It includes all the fantastic benefits of a normal rent guarantee service, with the additional perk of making sure you receive your rent on time and in full, no matter what and no excess.
Zero Deposit Option
Rent faster, reduce void periods and increase the deposit from the maximum 5 week level cash deposit to 6 weeks whilst keeping the same protection as a traditional security deposit. Those are some of the benefits landlords receive from instructing a letting agent that offers a Zero Deposit Option to tenants. For tenants the Zero Deposit Option helps to reduce the upfront cost of renting, and can speed up the whole process by minimising paperwork and hassle – a win win for all!
For more information on how the Guaranteed Rent policy and Zero Deposit Option can work for you, please contact your local Frost office.
Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS)
We now register all deposits held on behalf of tenancy agreements with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). Designed to protect the tenant's deposit and the landlord's property during a lease term. A nominal administrative fee is required by both the tenant and landlord to apply for this scheme.
