Fixed Monthly Rent
Your rent is agreed at the start, giving you a predictable figure to plan around for the length of the agreement.
Own a suitable house or HMO in Manchester? Sapphire Living Care agrees a fixed monthly rent with you, keeps paying it during covered void periods, and handles resident-related housing management for the length of the agreement.
Guaranteed rent suits Manchester property owners who want a clearer monthly income and a more hands-off arrangement than traditional letting.
Your rent is agreed at the start, giving you a predictable figure to plan around for the length of the agreement.
Your agreed payment does not stop because a resident moves out or the property is between placements.
Sapphire Living Care manages resident-related matters and coordinates day-to-day property issues.
Suitable landlords can agree fixed terms of up to five years, with the terms set out before signing.
Manchester is the core of Sapphire Living Care's operating area. We assess family houses and suitable HMOs across the city, from the terraced streets of Gorton, Levenshulme and Longsight to the semi-detached and ex-local-authority housing found in Wythenshawe, Blackley and Moston.
The quickest way to find out whether your Manchester property fits is to send the postcode, bedroom count, availability and a short description. We will tell you plainly whether it suits current demand, and what the next step is if it does.
Much of the city's rental stock is Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside inter-war and post-war semis in the outer wards. Three and four-bedroom houses with a usable communal space are the properties that most often fit our housing model.
Postcode districts we assess: M8, M9, M11, M12, M13, M14, M16, M18, M19, M20, M21, M22, M23, M40. If your postcode is not listed, send it anyway and we will check.

These are the main starting criteria. The final decision depends on the property's layout, location, condition and intended use.
Sapphire Living Care generally looks for suitable properties with at least three bedrooms.
Suitable four-bedroom HMOs are an area of active demand across Greater Manchester, including Manchester.
We currently look for EPC D or higher, or a property where appropriate improvements are possible.
The property should be secure, well maintained and able to meet gas, electrical, fire and housing standards.
Vacant homes and properties becoming available within about three months are usually easier to progress.
Properties across Gorton, Levenshulme, Longsight, Burnage and the rest of Manchester can be assessed.
HMOs come with licensing and, in some areas, planning considerations. Sapphire Living Care reviews the intended use and relevant compliance requirements before progressing a property.
Mandatory HMO licensing applies across England where a property is rented to five or more people from more than one household. Councils can also run additional or selective licensing schemes, so check Manchester City Council's current requirements.
GOV.UK guidance on HMOs ↗Some councils use Article 4 Directions to require planning permission for new small HMOs in certain areas. Whether this applies depends on the property's location and proposed use.
Manchester City Council website ↗The key difference is the income and management structure. Your exact responsibilities are set out in the agreement before you sign.
