Client portal
Every landlord gets a private login. See who lives in each room, what rent has come in, which certificates are due, and open or download any statement or invoice.
Guaranteed rent
Nesters Limited can take your property on a company let for an agreed term. You get the same rent on the same day every month, whether every room is occupied or not. We look after the licensing, furnishing, tenants and day-to-day upkeep set out in the agreement.
How it works
The same steps for every property, from a single flat to a licensed shared house.
We visit, confirm the rent you can expect room by room and as a whole, and check what the property needs before anyone moves in: licensing, gas and electrical certificates, the EPC, fire alarms and emergency lighting.
We advertise at one clear rent, run the viewings and check every applicant’s identity, income, references and Right to Rent.
Tenants sign an assured periodic tenancy with a written statement of terms. We make sure any deposit is protected, serve the required documents and record an inventory.
Tenants pay rent straight to you. We check every payment, follow up anything late, arrange repairs and keep every certificate in date.
In the first week of each month your rent statement and our invoice appear in your client portal. Open or download them whenever you need them.
We book renewals before they fall due, handle rent reviews by formal notice and give your accountant a year-end summary.
Housing teams
We house tenants referred by London borough housing teams and private rented sector schemes, and we take care of the admin that comes with them.
Tenants receiving benefits are welcome in every house we let.
Where we work
We also take on houses elsewhere in Greater London. Ask us about your street.

Case study · Putney SW15
When the owner came to us, the house was let to one household for £2,500 a month. Since February 2026 we have let it room by room on our HMO management service, and it is now a licensed HMO.
Five of the tenants were placed by Wandsworth Council. For each one, the council paid the owner a £2,000 incentive and rent in advance, on top of the monthly rent from tenants and Universal Credit.
£14,719 more than the single let would have paid over the same nine months: 65% up, or £4,135 a month on average against £2,500.
Book a rent assessmentLandlord invoicing
Your tenants pay rent straight to you, so we never hold your money. We check every payment against what was due, and in the first week of the month we put two things in your client portal: a rent statement and our invoice.
Council and housing-benefit payments are matched to the right tenant, so part-payments and arrears are easy to see.
Compliance
Each property has a file with every certificate and its renewal date, and you can see all of it in your client portal. We book renewals before they fall due and give tenants their copies.
| Item | When |
|---|---|
| Gas safety record | Every 12 months, by a Gas Safe registered engineer |
| Electrical safety report (EICR) | At least every five years |
| Energy performance certificate | Every ten years. Band E or better is needed to let. |
| Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms | Checked working on the first day of every tenancy |
| HMO licence | Renewed before it expires. Conditions vary by borough. |
| Fire risk assessment | Reviewed at least once a year for shared houses |
| Fire alarms and emergency lighting | Tested and serviced on schedule, with records kept |
| Right to Rent | Before every tenancy, with follow-up checks where permission is time-limited |
| Tenancy deposit | Protected within 30 days, with the prescribed information served |
| Appliances supplied with the let | Safety-tested as good practice |
Bookkeeping
If you own rental property in your own name, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax changes how you report it. Landlords in scope keep digital records and send HMRC an update every quarter.
We keep your property records in that shape all year: rent by room, costs with receipts, and a quarterly summary your accountant can file from.
Qualifying income is gross rent plus any self-employment income, before expenses. Bars are drawn to scale.
Rent assessment
Tell us about the property. We’ll compare a single let with letting it room by room, and tell you what licensing it needs and what it would cost to run.

For tenants
We let furnished rooms in shared houses across south and west London. You get a clear periodic tenancy, copies of every safety certificate, and one team to call when something needs fixing.
Renting with us
From first message to moving in, usually within a couple of weeks once checks are back.
Your preferred areas, budget and move-in date.
See the room and the shared kitchen and bathrooms, and meet us in person.
We check your identity, Right to Rent, income or a guarantor, and references.
A holding deposit of no more than one week’s rent holds the room while checks finish. It usually goes towards your first month’s rent.
You sign an assured periodic tenancy and receive a written statement of your terms. No one will ask for rent before you sign, or for more than one month’s rent in advance.
You get the gas safety record, electrical report, EPC, HMO licence details and an inventory. Any deposit is protected within 30 days.
Your rights
These rights come from the Renters’ Rights Act 2025. Most of it has been in force since 1 May 2026.
Payments
We never charge for referencing, admin, inventories or checking out. Your tenancy agreement tells you who to pay your rent to.
| Payment | How much |
|---|---|
| Rent | As advertised, paid monthly |
| Holding deposit | Up to one week’s rent |
| Tenancy deposit | Up to five weeks’ rent, where one is taken |
| Changing your tenancy at your request | £50, or the reasonable costs if higher |
| Late rent | Interest at 3% above the Bank of England base rate, on rent more than 14 days late |
| Lost keys or security devices | The reasonable cost of replacing them |
| Bills | Utilities, council tax, TV licence and broadband, only where your tenancy says you pay them |
Repairs
Send a message with a photo to 07936 631674 or email khash@nesterslondon.com. Tell us the address, your room and what’s wrong.
No heating, no hot water or a leak: call us straight away.
Room alerts
Tell us where you’d like to live and what you can pay. We’ll get in touch when a room fits.
Fees
Simple percentages, invoiced monthly. The law also asks us to tell you which redress scheme we belong to and how client money is handled. Both are below.
| Service | Who it’s for | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| HMO management | Houses let as individual rooms, each on its own tenancy | 10% of the monthly rent |
| Whole-house management | Single-family homes, and HMOs let on one joint tenancy | 5% of the monthly rent |
| Guaranteed rent | Owners who lease the property to Nesters on a company let | No fee. We agree a fixed rent. |
Nesters Limited is not VAT registered, so no VAT is added to these fees.
Tenants pay only what the Tenant Fees Act and the Renters’ Rights Act allow. We never charge for referencing, admin, inventories or checking out, and no more than one month’s rent can be taken in advance.
| Payment | How much |
|---|---|
| Rent | As advertised, paid monthly |

Redress scheme
Nesters Limited is a member of the Property Redress Scheme, membership number PRS051346. The scheme looks at complaints we haven’t been able to resolve. You can find it at theprs.co.uk.
Client money
Nesters Limited does not hold client money. Tenants pay rent straight to the landlord, so we are not a member of a client money protection scheme.
If that ever changes, we will join an approved scheme before we handle any client money, and publish our certificate here.
Complaints
We want to hear about it and put it right.
Email khash@nesterslondon.com or write to our registered office. Say what happened and what you’d like us to do.
Within 3 working days.
We investigate and send you a written response within 15 working days.
If you’re still unhappy with our final response, or 8 weeks have passed, you can ask the Property Redress Scheme to review your complaint. It’s free.

This website is hosted by Netlify, which also receives the messages you send through our forms and passes them to us; Netlify may process them in the United States. We never sell personal information.
