If you own a property in Old Trafford, Stretford, Sale, Urmston or anywhere across Trafford Metropolitan Borough, 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.
Trafford Metropolitan Borough sits immediately to the south and west of Manchester city centre, covering one of the most economically active corridors in the North West. Trafford Park, which borders the M60 and runs along the Manchester Ship Canal, is home to more than 1,300 businesses across engineering, logistics, manufacturing and distribution. That concentration generates consistent demand from contractors and project teams who need practical, well-equipped accommodation close to their site. Shared rental accommodation and hotels do not meet that need as well as a well-run serviced apartment does.
Old Trafford (M16) and Stretford (M32) sit at the heart of the borough, with a stock of Victorian terraced and semi-detached properties that have long been popular with buy-to-let investors. Metrolink connections put Manchester city centre within easy reach, with interchange at Cornbrook for MediaCityUK and Salford Quays. The M60 ring road gives fast access to every major employment zone in Greater Manchester. Trafford General Hospital at Davyhulme and the range of NHS clinics across the borough add a steady stream of healthcare staff and locums who need reliable, comfortable accommodation during rotations and placements.
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 has changed the picture for all of England's private landlords in 2026. Here is how guaranteed rent works for Trafford landlords.
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 Trafford 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.
Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council had not introduced borough-wide selective licensing schemes as at mid 2026. This differs from parts of Manchester City Council's area, where selective licensing designations have been made in certain wards. If you own a property close to the boundary between Trafford and Manchester City, it is worth checking which authority your address falls under, as the boundary runs through some streets in the Old Trafford and Stretford areas.
A guaranteed rent corporate commercial lease, where Beacon Living Group holds the tenancy and operates the property as serviced accommodation, creates a different tenure arrangement from a standard residential AST let regardless. Whether any residential licensing obligation applies to your specific property and address is a matter to discuss with your solicitor.
Trafford Metropolitan Borough also operates an additional HMO licensing scheme for certain properties. If your property is currently or was previously let as an HMO, please mention this when you get in touch so we can factor it into the assessment from the start.

Multiple steady guest types across Trafford are what underpin a fixed monthly rent offer. Here is who stays and why they keep coming.
Trafford Park is home to more than 1,300 businesses across engineering, manufacturing, logistics and distribution. Contractors and skilled-trades teams working on multi-week or multi-month projects need clean, well-equipped accommodation close to the site. These guests book in advance, stay for extended periods and will often return to the same property on their next Trafford project.
Trafford General Hospital at Davyhulme and the network of community health centres across the borough generate consistent demand from rotational NHS staff, locum doctors, community nurses and healthcare professionals on placement. A well-run serviced apartment gives them a proper kitchen and a quiet space to rest, at a fraction of the cost of an extended hotel stay.
Dozens of companies with offices and operations along the M60 ring road regularly need accommodation for project teams, auditors, training groups and secondees. Old Trafford and Stretford give them fast access to both Manchester city centre and the motorway network, which matters when a team is splitting its time between multiple sites.
Trafford consistently attracts professionals relocating from other cities, drawn by the combination of good transport links, a wide range of property types and relatively lower costs than central Manchester. A serviced stay gives them time to find a permanent home, with the Metrolink putting the whole of Greater Manchester on their doorstep from day one.
Old Trafford hosts major events at the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground and is adjacent to the Manchester United stadium area. Multi-night and multi-week stays from event production teams, visiting media crews and corporate hospitality staff generate bookings that complement the steady weekday contractor demand and help maintain strong overall occupancy levels.
Trafford's position between the city centre and the airport, combined with its strong Metrolink connections, makes it a practical base for insurance-displaced residents and professionals between long-term homes. Mid-term stays of two weeks to six months fill the gaps between shorter bookings and contribute to the consistent occupancy that underpins a guaranteed rent offer.

Your rent figure depends on the size, location and condition of the property and the serviced-accommodation income it can realistically generate. After a short strategic assessment we confirm whether the property qualifies and the exact fixed monthly rent we can offer. Every rent figure is backed by our corporate commercial lease, which is how we can guarantee it.
Yes. We work with landlords across Trafford Metropolitan Borough, including Old Trafford, Stretford, Sale, Urmston, Partington, Altrincham, Bowdon, Hale, Timperley, Davyhulme and surrounding areas.

We take your property on a corporate commercial lease, not an Assured Shorthold Tenancy. Every guest stay carries a security deposit and ID verification, properties are inspected between guest stays and you receive a written condition guarantee. We are transparent about how we operate and happy to provide full documentation for your solicitor to review before you sign anything.
This is an important question and one you should raise with your solicitor before signing. Our corporate commercial lease sets out clear terms for both sides, including what happens if the lease cannot be honoured. We recommend you have your solicitor review the full documentation before proceeding. We do not ask landlords for any upfront payment, so there is no money at risk before the arrangement begins. As with any commercial lease, independent legal advice before signing gives you the best protection.
Nothing changes for you. You receive the same fixed rent every month whether the property is occupied or not. Void risk and the cost of any empty periods sit entirely with Beacon Living Group, not with you.
Vetted professional guests on short and medium stays. Trafford's guest profile includes contractors and engineering teams working across Trafford Park and the M60 corridor, NHS staff at Trafford General Hospital, corporate professionals on project assignments, relocating professionals and extended-stay guests. Every guest is ID verified and bound by house rules.

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.
