How it works
Under our Private Sector Leasing Service, we manage your property to house local families assisted though our Housing Needs Service.
We guarantee a rental income and as long as there are no structural issues, we will provide guaranteed rents with no void period.
The rent you receive will be:
- paid by us monthly, directly into your bank account
- guaranteed for the duration of the lease
- paid even if no one is living in your property.
At the end of the tenancy, we'll return your property to you taking into account fair wear and tear and can offer a competitive 8 weeks rent compensation.

How to apply
You can contact us to arrange a free appointment with one of our negotiators:
After an initial phone call our negotiator will visit your property to decide what the rent will be. Your rent will be based on:
- the size of your property
- the location of your property
- rent levels in the local area
- Local Housing Allowance rates
At the valuation we will then let you know if we need any more details or documents about your property.
When you provide these, we will give you a contract which will include the tenancy agreement and rent level.
By participating in our Private Sector Leasing Scheme, you are not only benefiting yourself, but you are also helping to address the housing shortage in our area. Your property will be used to provide quality housing for those in need, making a positive impact on our community.
