Let your property make a difference — and a reliable return.
Guaranteed rent through voids and arrears, long leases up to five years, and a professional team who look after your home like their own. Partner with Millpond and turn a good investment into meaningful impact.
Three promises to every landlord
No small print, no clever wording. Just the things that matter to you when you hand over the keys.
Guaranteed rent
A single, predictable payment every month — through voids, arrears and tenant changeovers.
Long, stable leases
Typically 3–5 year corporate leases with renewal options — long-term income certainty.
Fully managed
Day-to-day repairs, inspections, compliance certificates and tenant liaison — all handled.
A better relationship with your rental.
We're not a lettings agency stapled to a call centre. Millpond signs a corporate lease directly with you — the tenancy is our responsibility, the payment is yours. That means fewer parties, less risk and one accountable team.
We invest in the property throughout the lease — planned maintenance, seasonal checks and proactive repairs — because a well-kept home helps our residents settle and keeps your asset in strong condition.
What's included
Everything below is standard. There are no add-ons, upsells or hidden charges.
Zero letting fees
No tenant find fees, no renewal fees, no re-marketing charges. Ever.
We take the tenancy risk
Our lease is with you — we hold the tenancy relationship, not you. No arrears chasing, no eviction risk.
Property returned in condition
Professionally cleaned, fully inspected and returned at end of term — fair wear and tear excepted.
Social impact
Your home helps a family, care leaver or key worker who would otherwise be in emergency accommodation.
Transparent reporting
Quarterly condition reports, annual statements and a named point of contact you can actually reach.
Simple paperwork
One clear lease, one monthly payment, one team — no fragmented agencies or hidden add-ons.
From first call to first rent payment
A clear, seven-step process — typically 3–4 weeks for a property in ready condition.
Get in touch
Send us the address and a few photos. We'll confirm eligibility within 48 hours.
Free appraisal visit

5-yearly electrical installation condition report kept up to date.

Properties we look for
We're always growing the portfolio in Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester. If your property looks like one of the below, we'd love to hear from you.
1–4 bedroom houses
Two-up-two-down terraces through to family homes — the workhorses of our portfolio.
Flats & apartments
One and two bed flats in well-connected areas near schools, transport and shops.
HMOs (subject to licence)
Licensed HMOs of 3–6 rooms, in good condition and meeting local authority standards.
Ex-let & tired stock
We'll take on properties that need light modernisation — costs agreed up front.
I was ready to sell — the last agent left me with three months of arrears and a trashed kitchen. Two years into a Millpond lease, I've had one point of contact, every payment on time, and a property that comes back inspected every quarter. I've just signed a second house with them.
A named contact, always.
When you sign with Millpond you get a dedicated property manager who knows your home, your history and your preferences — not a rota of unfamiliar voices. They handle everything from quarterly reports to the odd late-night emergency call.
