We partner with forward-thinking letting agents helping them transition suitable properties to supported living replacing volume-driven stress with high-value, long-term contracts that actually reward expertise.
Meet Gregory - Owner of a well-established lettings business with over 15 years' experience managing around 150 properties.
Modern lettings agents are caught in an impossible equation:
Relentless new legislation and compliance requirements
Licensing, inspections, complaints, renewals
More time invested, less return achieved
Portfolio landlords selling up due to Section 24 tax changes
The Simple Question Every Agent Is Now Asking:
"Is there a more leveraged model that reflects the market we're operating in today?"
Most landlord properties sit on standard BTL products. Will they allow social or supported housing use?
Standard landlord insurance often isn't suitable, and finding clear guidance is difficult
Not every property works. Location, layout, condition, and local demand all matter
Agents don't always feel equipped to confidently explain the model or manage the transition
Most agents are left to figure everything out themselves, risking expensive mistakes
Agents stay in a model they know is broken because the alternative seems too complex to navigate.
When Gregory modelled the same property structured as social or supported housing, two things stood out immediately:
"I was managing 150 properties and constantly firefighting. Now I manage 60 social housing units and earn the same income with a fraction of the stress. I actually have time to grow my business strategically."
This is not about quick wins. It's about future-proofing a lettings business in a market that has fundamentally changed.
Fixed rent from regulated providers
Long-term stability, not annual renewals
Backed by Housing Benefit/Universal Credit
Providers handle tenant issues and sustainment
Secure income streams enhance asset value
When you offer genuine added value
Earn more from fewer properties
Not chasing AST renewals every 12 months
Become the local "social housing and supported living specialist"
Long leases reduce churn and maximise long-term fees
Providers handle tenant issues, you focus on growth
Supported living demand is structurally high and publicly funded
Less exposed to cyclical downturns than standard private rentals
Landlords gain stability, agents gain sustainable fees, vulnerable tenants gain quality homes
We're looking to partner with established, forward-thinking letting and estate agents who:
Pitch this instead of risky ASTs to landlords tired of uncertainty
Secure income streams enhance asset value
Offer genuine added value beyond standard letting services
Corporate/housing association tenants provide long-term stability
Eliminating void risk and rent arrears concerns
Landlords less likely to switch agents once stable leases are in place
Vetting, sustainment, and day-to-day management handled by professionals
"Set and forget" properties that reduce after-hours emergencies
Less reactive work, more time for business growth and client relationships
You're not searching for tenants or hoping for interest. Registered Providers and support organizations are already seeking units for specific client groups and locations.
With providers handling tenant issues and sustainment, you spend less time on reactive management and more on growth.
This model works because everyone benefits from the arrangement.
Gain stability, guaranteed income, and asset protection
Gain durable fees, differentiation, and sustainable business models
Gain quality, long-term homes through well-governed schemes
Real-time demand from Registered Providers across your region
Property specification requirements for different client groups
Property suitability assessments
Mortgage and insurance guidance for landlords
Compliance frameworks and documentation
Provider introduction and lease negotiation support
End-to-end process documentation
Quality control standards
Risk mitigation protocols
Dispute resolution support
Source suitable properties in your market
Leverage your landlord relationships
Provide local market intelligence
Maintain professional standards
Properties that meet provider specifications
Transparent landlord communication
Professional service delivery
Long-term partnership mindset
If you're an agent who recognizes these challenges and wants to explore a more leveraged, sustainable business model, we'd like to speak with you.

Transitioning to social and supported housing management requires careful planning and execution. Results vary based on agency size, location, existing landlord base, and implementation strategy. Past performance of other agents does not guarantee future results for your agency.
Social and supported housing are regulated sectors with specific compliance requirements. While we provide frameworks and guidance, ultimate responsibility for compliance rests with the agent and their landlords. Professional legal and compliance advice should always be sought.
Property investment and management carry risks including changes to government policy, funding reductions, local authority commissioning changes, and market fluctuations. These can impact demand and rental levels in the supported housing sector.
