If you own a property in Salford, Eccles, Pendleton, Ordsall, Irlam or anywhere across the City of Salford, Beacon Living Group pays you a fixed rent every single month, occupied or not. No management fees, all bills covered and a written guarantee your property is returned in the same or better condition.
Salford sits immediately to the west of Manchester city centre and has undergone a major transformation over the past two decades. MediaCityUK at Salford Quays brought the BBC, ITV, dock10 studios and a dense cluster of digital agencies and production companies to the waterfront. That concentration of media and technology workers generates consistent, year-round demand for quality short and medium stays, from people who need more than a hotel room for a week-long production schedule or a six-month project secondment. For Salford landlords, this steady occupancy stream is exactly what underpins a guaranteed rent offer.
Salford Royal Hospital is one of the largest NHS teaching hospitals in the North West. It draws a continuous stream of NHS staff, visiting consultants and healthcare workers who need practical, comfortable accommodation outside the hospital estate. Trafford Park, just across the boundary, adds a large contractor, engineering and logistics worker base. And the ongoing regeneration at New Bailey, Greengate and Chapel Wharf continues to pull in corporate teams, developers and professionals who prefer a furnished apartment to an extended hotel stay. Together, these demand drivers support the kind of steady occupancy that makes a guaranteed rent offer viable for the right Salford property, and they underpin our ability to underwrite a fixed monthly rent.
One fixed rent. We absorb the costs that quietly erode a normal let.
The same agreed sum lands every month for the full lease term, whether the property is occupied or sitting empty between guests.
No 10 to 15 per cent management cut and no hidden charges. The rent we agree is the rent you keep for the entire lease term.
Empty months are our risk, not yours. You never lose income to a gap between guests, however long that gap turns out to be.
Utilities, council tax, WiFi and TV licence are all handled by us during the lease, removing them from your running expenses. We also carry operational and public liability insurance for the property's use as serviced accommodation.
Day-to-day upkeep, cleaning and minor repairs are managed and paid for by Beacon, with you kept informed throughout.
Your property is returned in the same or better condition, in writing, backed by guest deposits and routine inspections throughout the lease.
The Renters' Rights Act and Salford's selective licensing scheme are both changing the picture. Here is how guaranteed rent fits in.
The Renters' Rights Act, which came into force on 1 May 2026, abolished fixed-term Assured Shorthold Tenancies and removed Section 21 no-fault eviction for residential landlords in England. For Salford landlords who let directly to individual tenants on ASTs, this marks a significant change in how possession works and how rent increases are managed.
A guaranteed rent arrangement with Beacon Living Group operates on a corporate commercial lease, not an AST. Because the tenant is a company rather than an individual occupying the property as their principal home, the arrangement sits outside the assured tenancy regime that the Renters' Rights Act governs. Your fixed income, the contract term and the exit arrangements on both sides are governed by commercial lease law instead.
We recommend you discuss this with your solicitor so you fully understand the obligations and protections before signing anything. We are happy to provide our standard lease documentation in advance.
Salford City Council operates selective licensing schemes in certain designated areas, including parts of Eccles, Barton and Winton, where landlords who privately let properties to residential tenants are required to hold a council licence. The scheme in those areas commenced in September 2022 and runs for five years.
Selective licensing is designed for properties let to residential tenants under tenancy agreements. A guaranteed rent corporate lease, where Beacon holds the tenancy and operates the property as serviced accommodation rather than letting it to a resident individual, creates a different tenure arrangement. Whether this affects your specific licensing position depends on your property address and how the council treats your situation.
We are always transparent about how our leases work and can provide full documentation for your solicitor or the council to review. If your property is in a licensed area, please mention it when you get in touch so we can factor it into the assessment from the start.
Traditional management drains your return through fees, voids and hidden costs. Here is the same Salford property under two different models.

Multiple steady guest types across Salford are what let us underwrite a fixed monthly rent. Here is who stays and why they keep coming.
Production teams, on-screen talent, editing crews and digital agency staff at the BBC, ITV, dock10 and the wider MediaCityUK campus regularly need short and medium stays. Week-long shoots, month-long project placements and secondments from London offices are all stays that a well-run serviced apartment meets far better than a hotel room.
Salford Royal Hospital is a major NHS teaching hospital and one of the largest in the North West. Rotational NHS staff, visiting consultants, locum doctors and healthcare contractors all need comfortable, practical accommodation that is close to the hospital, comes with a proper kitchen and costs considerably less than a hotel for a three-month placement.
Trafford Park and Salford's own industrial and logistics zones put a large contractor, engineering and skilled-trades workforce within easy reach. Multi-week and multi-month projects generate consistent bookings from teams who need clean, well-equipped accommodation rather than shared rental accommodation, and who will often re-book the same property on their next Salford project.
Salford and Manchester continue to attract businesses and individuals relocating from London and other cities. A serviced stay gives them time to find a permanent home while living comfortably during the search, and the Metrolink puts the whole of Greater Manchester on their doorstep from the moment they arrive.
Companies with offices in Salford Quays, New Bailey, Spinningfields and Manchester city centre regularly need accommodation for teams arriving for audits, training cycles, launches and short-term secondments. A serviced apartment keeps the whole team together and delivers a consistent, professional environment throughout the assignment.
From insurance-displaced residents to individuals between long-term homes, Salford's location, transport links and affordability relative to central Manchester make it a practical and popular base for stays of two weeks to six months. Mid-term bookings fill the gaps between shorter stays and help maintain strong overall occupancy levels.

Every guest is ID verified and bound by house rules.
Salford City Council operates selective licensing schemes in certain areas, including parts of Eccles, Barton and Winton. A guaranteed rent corporate lease, where Beacon Living Group holds the tenancy rather than an individual residential tenant, creates a different tenure arrangement from a standard AST let. We recommend you discuss your specific situation with your solicitor before proceeding. We can provide full lease documentation for that conversation.
Many buy-to-let mortgage conditions require your lender's consent before you enter into a commercial lease or operate the property as serviced accommodation. We recommend checking your mortgage terms and obtaining consent from your lender before we proceed. We can provide a copy of our standard lease documentation to support that conversation with your lender.
Our lease includes clear terms on both sides for how the arrangement can be brought to an end, including in circumstances where the landlord needs to sell. We are transparent about these terms from the outset and you receive full documentation before signing anything. If selling is a possibility within your planning horizon, please mention it when you get in touch so we can discuss the best structure for your situation.
