Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started
How does guaranteed rent work?
You receive a fixed monthly rental payment for the full lease term (typically 3–5 years), regardless of occupancy.
This means:
- No void periods
- No missed rent
- Predictable, consistent income
Who will I be leasing the property to?
You will lease your property directly to a supported living provider, not to individual tenants.
These providers are organisations delivering regulated or supported housing services, often working alongside local authorities.
Are the contracts legally compliant?
Yes. One of our key roles is ensuring that all lease structures are clear, transparent, and fully compliant.
You contract directly with the provider — avoiding complicated or risky back-to-back agreements.
Who is responsible for property maintenance?
In most cases:
Providers cover:
- Day-to-day maintenance
- Minor repairs
- General upkeep
Landlords cover:
- Major repairs (e.g., roof, boiler, structural issues)
This significantly reduces your involvement compared to traditional letting.
Will my property need any work before leasing?
Possibly.
If required, we will provide a clear schedule of works based on provider needs. This ensures the property is fully suitable and ready for supported living.
We guide you through this process step-by-step.
What types of properties are you looking for?
Typically:
- 2–4 bedroom houses
- Good residential locations
- Properties suitable for supported living layouts
Final suitability depends on current providers demand and location.
What happens if the provider leaves?
Our focus is on long-term, stable partnerships, which significantly reduces this risk.
However, in the unlikely event a provider exits:
- We work to source a replacement provider
- We support continuity where possible
Our model is built around stability, not short-term placements.
Do I still need a letting agent?
No.
Because:
- The property is leased directly to a provider
- Day-to-day management is largely handled
This removes the need for traditional letting agents and their associated fees.
Is this suitable for first-time landlords?
Yes — particularly if you are looking for a hands-off, lower-stress investment model.
We guide you through the process and ensure everything is clear from the outset.
How quickly can this process move?
Timelines can vary depending on
- Property suitability
- Required works
- Provider demand
However, once aligned, the process is designed to move efficiently and smoothly.
