Guaranteed rent for landlords in Carshalton
Carshalton is the old village at the heart of SM5, built around the spring-fed ponds at the head of one arm of the River Wandle, with conservation streets, Honeywood Museum and Carshalton Park close by. South of the village, Carshalton Beeches is a quieter run of Edwardian and inter-war family houses on the hill.
VividSpaces leases Carshalton homes for three to five years, with our company on the lease, and pays an agreed rent on the same date each month. The figure is set in writing before you sign, at or above market rent, and it is paid whether the home is occupied or between families.

These are borough averages, not an offer. The figure we pay for your Carshalton 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 Carshalton?
Usually no. Carshalton is in Sutton, which licenses shared houses (HMOs) rather than homes let to one family, though its rules on shared houses are wider than the national minimum.
What applies, and to whom
- Shared homes with five or more people from more than one household need a mandatory licence.
- Sutton's additional licensing scheme covers smaller shared homes below that threshold, across the whole borough.
- Sutton charges £319.40 per let for either licence, and licences last up to five years.
- A home let to one family is not an HMO. We let each Carshalton home to one small family with VividSpaces on the lease, and confirm the position before anything is signed.
