3
Income distributions are net of property-related costs, including management fees, maintenance, taxes and insurance.
4
You’ll receive an email notification once your quarterly rental income is processed.
5
If a delay or vacancy occurs, our team will keep you informed.

Once you invest in a Wahed Real Estate property, you’ll potentially begin earning rental income every quarter, paid directly to your linked bank account.

Many properties are already tenanted or include lease lock-in agreements, so income usually begins in the next quarterly cycle after the raise has closed and acquisition is complete.

When Does Rental Income Start?

Rental income begins once the property you invested in has been:

  1. Fully acquired (the Series offering has closed and title has transferred to the Series LLC); and

  2. Tenanted, meaning an active lease is in place and rent collection has started.

Some properties include lease lock-in periods. These are the fixed rental agreements that secure occupancy and rental payments for a specific duration (for example, one to three years).
 

These lock-ins help provide predictable income for the Series LLC and reduce vacancy risk for investors.

How Is Rental Income Calculated?

Your share of rental income is based on your proportional ownership within the Series LLC that holds the property.

Rental income is calculated after all property-related operating expenses are deducted from the gross rent collected.

These typically include:

  • Property management fees (usually 8-10% of monthly rent)
  • Maintenance and repair costs
  • Property taxes and insurance
  • Homeowners association (HOA) or community fees (if applicable)
  • Legal and administrative costs

After these costs are covered, the net rental income is distributed among investors in proportion to their ownership.

How and When Will I Receive It?

Wahed processes and disburses rental income quarterly, typically around the middle of the following month after the quarter ends (for example, April for Q1).

Payments are sent automatically via direct deposit to the same bank account used for your investment.

There’s no need to withdraw funds manually. Once processed, the income will be transferred to your bank account.

Distributions are processed after standard settlement and verification checks are complete.
The exact payment date may vary slightly by property or banking partner.

You’ll continue receiving these distributions as long as the property is income-generating and your investment remains active.

Where will I see my rental income?

Your rental income is deposited directly into your designated bank account. Soon, you'll also be able to track it in-app.

How will I know when payments are sent?

You’ll receive an email notification each time a quarterly distribution is processed.

When will my first rental distribution be made, and will it cover a full quarter?

Your first rental distribution depends on when the property starts generating income. If the property is acquired partway through a quarter, your first payout will reflect income earned only for that period - not the full quarter. For example, if the property was funded and acquired in July, the September distribution would include rent earned from the date of acquisition onward.

Are rental distributions guaranteed?

No. While some properties may include lease lock-ins that reduce vacancy risk, rental income ultimately depends on tenant occupancy and property performance. We always share key details during the deal listing.

Are property management and maintenance costs included?

Yes. These are already deducted before income is distributed. The figures you receive represent net rental income.

What exactly is Wahed Real Estate?

Wahed Real Estate is the shariah-compliant investment platform for real estate, allowing people to passively invest in high-yielding properties in the UK.

What If There’s a Delay or Vacancy?

While most properties are income-generating or benefit from lease lock-ins, temporary delays may occasionally occur due to:

  • Minor administrative delays in property acquisition
  • Lease transitions or renewals
  • Short-term vacancies between tenants

Our asset management team closely monitors each property and takes measures to avoid these scenarios as much as possible. But if they do arise, our team will proactively update you via email. We’re committed to transparency and will always keep you informed about any interruptions or expected timelines.

Lease Lock-Ins Explained

Some properties include lease lock-ins. These are long-term rental agreements where the tenant is committed to paying rent for a defined period. During this time, occupancy and rental income are contractually secured, reducing the risk of interruptions.

Lease lock-ins are designed to provide stable cash flow for the Series LLC while maintaining Shariah compliance. Details of each property’s lease duration and rent terms are always disclosed in its offering circular and deal app page before launch.

What Happens During and After Your Investment

Quarterly distributions will continue for as long as the property is tenanted and generating income. When the property reaches the end of its holding period, the Series LLC will sell the asset and distribute sale proceeds separately, based on each investor’s ownership share.

Once that’s done, the investment is fully closed. Throughout the lifecycle, our team handles the details so you can focus on building your portfolio with peace of mind.

Can distributions change over time?

Yes. Rental income may vary slightly from quarter to quarter based on property occupancy, maintenance activity or operating expenses.

What happens to my rental income after the property is sold?

Once the property is sold, quarterly rental distributions stop. Final sale proceeds are distributed separately to investors based on their ownership percentage in the Series LLC.

Investing in start-up limited companies carries certain risks which can include (but is not limited to) illiquidity; a potential lack of dividends; loss of the entire Investment and dilution, and it is your responsibility to satisfy yourself that this risk is acceptable to you. The asset owned by the SPV you hold shares in is a property that receives rent, this will be paid to you and the other shareholders of the SPV in the form of dividends, net of any fees, costs and expenses payable. In the event that the property does not produce rent or the amount of rent received is less than the amount of fees, expenses and costs payable, no dividends will be paid. As such, there is a risk that you will not see a return on your investment. Making an investment should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. This means that you should invest in relatively small amounts into multiple assets / SPV’s rather than one or two. Further, you may only want to invest a small proportion of your investable capital in any start-up business / SPV and other money invested in safer, more liquid assets. Past performance should not be used as a reliability indicator as future potential is unknown and is independent of past performance. Please note that this does not constitute investment/ Financial advice.
