Guaranteed rent for landlords in Belmont
Belmont is the southern tip of the London Borough of Sutton, an SM2 village on the chalk slope where the Brighton Road climbs towards Banstead Downs and the Surrey boundary. It grew up around a station that opened in 1865 as California, after the pub across the road, and was renamed Belmont ten years later. Station Road still has its own small parade of independent shops. Homes here tend to be held for a long time, which suits a landlord who wants one settled arrangement rather than a new let every year or two.
A Belmont owner who signs with VividSpaces has a single counterparty for three to five years: our company, named on the lease. The monthly figure is agreed in writing before you sign, never below the open-market rent, and it is paid on the same date whether the house has a family in it or is being got ready for the next one. We carry out the inspections and organise the repairs, so the day-to-day running of the home stays with us.
What Belmont landlords get
- A rent written into the lease for your SM2 house, paid let or empty
- Belmont's family houses suit long, settled placements
- Every inspection and repair is ours to arrange
- Nothing deducted for management, letting or renewals

These are borough averages, not an offer. The figure we pay for your Belmont home is set after we have seen it, at or above what it would fetch on the open market, and it is fixed in writing for the term of the lease.
You keep the whole amount. There is no management fee, no letting fee, and no empty month taken out of it.
Do you need a licence to let a property in Belmont?
For a Belmont house let to one family, generally not. Sutton's published licensing covers houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), and its HMO pages describe no scheme for ordinary family lets.
What applies, and to whom
- Sutton counts a home as an HMO when three or more unrelated people, forming more than one household, live there and share a kitchen, bathroom or WC. A couple sharing with a friend counts.
- Two schemes run side by side. Mandatory licensing covers HMOs with five or more occupiers, and Sutton's additional licensing scheme, now fully live across the whole borough, covers the smaller ones below that threshold.
- The fee is £319.40 per let under either scheme, for a licence of up to five years. Sutton can add £300 if an unlicensed HMO is found, or if an application is not completed within 28 days.
- Belmont sits on the boundary with Surrey. A home just south of it, with a Banstead address, comes under Reigate and Banstead's rules rather than Sutton's, so we confirm which authority covers your address first.
- The families we place are one household per home, with VividSpaces named on the lease. If anything about your property is unusual, a converted house split into flats for example, we check it with Sutton's Residential Enforcement Team before you sign.

What a year of rent looks like for a Belmont landlord
Take a home that would let for £1,900* a month on the open market. Let the usual way, a normal year brings a management fee every month, a tenancy that ends, two empty months, a re-let fee, a repair bill and a late payment. Under a VividSpaces lease the same home pays £1,900* on the same date, twelve times.
| Let the usual wayfees, two empty months, a re-let fee, a repair, one late payment | £16,210 |
|---|---|
| Under a VividSpaces leasetwelve identical payments, on the agreed date | £22,800 |
| Difference over the year | £6,590 |
Since we started, 100% of rents have been paid on time. You can check who you are dealing with before you speak to us: VividSpaces Ltd is on the ICO register (ZB892725), a member of the Property Redress Scheme (PRS051867) and registered at Companies House (16100586).
* Illustration only, not a quote and not an offer. Assumes open-market rent £1,900/month, 10% management fee, two void months, £550 re-let fee, £340 repair bill, one late payment. The rent for your Belmont property is agreed in writing after we have seen it, before you sign anything.
If the property is empty, how are you still paying me?
Because the rent does not depend on who is living there. VividSpaces is the tenant on your lease, which is a company let, so the obligation to pay you is ours for the whole term, whether the home is occupied or between families.
Local authorities
Refer families who need a settled, long-term home and vet them before referral.

The Belmont rental market
Two things shape renting in Belmont. One is the medical and research campus off Downs Road, where the Royal Marsden's Sutton hospital and the Institute of Cancer Research have worked side by side for decades, and where the London Cancer Hub is being developed with the London Borough of Sutton. The other is the open land to the south: Banstead Downs, Cuddington Meadows and Belmont Park are all within a few minutes' walk. The result is a quiet residential market with few homes coming up to let at any one time, where a well-kept family house tends to keep the same occupants for years.
Homes we take on here
Inter-war semis and detached houses on the roads either side of the Brighton Road, older villas and cottages near the station and St John's Church, newer houses and flats at Belmont Heights on the site of the old Belmont Hospital, and purpose-built flats along the main road. Two and three bedroom houses are the most common fit for the families we place.
Belmont station is on the Sutton to Epsom Downs branch, in fare zone 5, with Southern trains every half hour to London Victoria (roughly 50 minutes) and to Epsom Downs. Sutton, one stop north, has faster trains to Victoria and London Bridge as well as Thameslink. Funding has been secured for a turnback siding at Belmont intended to double the trains to Victoria. The A217 Brighton Road runs through the village towards Banstead and the M25.

Belmont landlord questions
If yours is not here, ask us directly. We would rather answer it before you sign than after.
Belmont runs from the edge of South Sutton down the Brighton Road to Banstead Downs, all within SM2 and the London Borough of Sutton. Sutton town centre and Cheam have their own pages. Homes over the Surrey boundary in Banstead are a separate case, and we tell you at the first call whether we can take yours.
Not usually, if one family lives there. Sutton licenses shared homes: three or more people from more than one household under its borough-wide additional scheme, and five or more under the mandatory scheme, at £319.40 per let. If your address is unusual, check with Sutton's Residential Enforcement Team, and we go through it with you before you sign.
The figure is set after a viewing, at or above the open-market rent, and fixed in the lease. For context, the ONS put the average private rent in the London Borough of Sutton at £1,569 a month in September 2026, and £1,916 for three bedrooms. The £1,900* year shown on this page is an illustration, not a quote or an offer.
Yes. Newer houses at Belmont Heights, flats on the main road and the older semis around the station are all worth a conversation. We take one to four bedroom homes, and two and three bedroom houses suit the families we place best.
VividSpaces signs, as a company let, for three to five years with a 36 month minimum. Paying the rent is our obligation for the whole term, so it does not stop when one family moves on and before the next arrives.
A small family needing a stable long-term home, referred through local authority partnerships and vetted by the authority and then by us. Any rules you set, such as no pets, are written in and kept to.
