Frequently Asked Questions

What is corporate letting and how does it work?

Corporate letting refers to renting a property to a company rather than an individual. The company, often a multinational firm, relocation agency or embassy, secures the lease for its employees or executives. The process includes:

  1. Property Listing & Marketing – Maskells promotes the property to corporate clients and relocation specialists.
  2. Tenant Screening – We verify the company’s financial stability and rental history.
  3. Lease Agreement – The lease is signed by the company, ensuring reliable rental payments.
  4. Property Management – Maskells can handle maintenance, compliance and tenant support throughout the tenancy.

What are the benefits of renting my property to corporate tenants?

Letting to corporate tenants offers several advantages:

  1. Reliable Rental Payments – Companies have strong financial backing, reducing payment risks.
  2. Longer Tenancy Agreements – Corporate lets often run for 12+ months, minimizing void periods.
  3. High-Quality Tenants – Business professionals and executives tend to be responsible renters.
  4. Minimal Wear & Tear – Corporate tenants often treat properties well, maintaining high standards.
  5. Strong Demand in Prime London – Businesses regularly relocate employees, ensuring steady demand.
