A new partnership between the London Landlord Accreditation Scheme (LLAS) and Guaranteed Rent provider Elliot Leigh aims to raise standards and increase landlord support across the private rented sector. 

As part of the agreement, Elliot Leigh has been named LLAS’s preferred provider for Guaranteed Rent services.

LLAS-accredited landlords will now have direct access to Guaranteed Rent services, where a third-party company leases a landlord’s property and guarantees monthly payments.

“The collaboration offers a route for landlords to access stable rent models through a provider that aligns with LLAS values,” explains Peter Littlewood, chair of LLAS. 

“This is part of our broader aim to ensure landlords are both compliant and supported.”

Meanwhile Leigh Young, director at Elliot Leigh, adds: “Landlords are navigating increasingly complex regulatory pressures, from compliance obligations to uncertainty around upcoming reforms.

“This partnership allows us to work closely with LLAS to offer practical, transparent solutions that help landlords remain both compliant and financially secure, while supporting efforts to raise standards across the sector.”

Established in 2003, Elliot Leigh manages over 1,600 properties and works with more than 50 local authorities across London and the Southeast. 

The company was founded by landlords in response to the financial risks associated with void periods and rent arrears.

As part of the new partnership, Elliot Leigh will participate in LLAS landlord forums alongside local authorities.
