Richmond Property Solutions

For landlords seeking alternative ways to let their properties, supported housing offers a unique solution. Unlike traditional tenancies, supported housing involves renting properties to organisations that provide accommodation and care for vulnerable individuals.

Several benefits:
Longer term contract with stable rent
No voids
Fewer management & maintenance responsibilities
Exempt from the Renters’ Rights Bill
Your property maintained to a high standard

Supported Living Care Providers are registered, regulated, monitored and inspected by CQC (Care Quality Commission) or OFSTED (Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills)

Supported housing provides accommodation alongside care and support services for individuals who require assistance with daily living. These tenants typically face challenges such as physical disabilities, learning difficulties, mental health issues, or homelessness.

We are your point of contact for the duration of the lease, quickly addressing any questions or requests that may arise.
We nurture relationship with supported housing providers, for smooth and stress free rental of your property.

We also schedule periodic inspections to ensure the property is maintained in good condition.

Peace of mind

What certificates would I have to provide when leasing my property to a care provider?

The following certificates about your property will need to be provided:
- EPC (Energy Performance Certificate)
- EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)
- GSC (Gas Safety Certificate), if applicable
- HMO license, if applicable

Occasionally the following reports may also be requested:
- FRA (Fire Risk Assessment)
- Asbestos report

We can assist you in obtaining those certificates or reports.

Will my property be looked after?

Inspected by CQC or Ofsted

We conduct periodic inspections to ensure your property is well maintained.

What about the contract?

After we have agreed on the terms for renting your property (via email or Head of Terms) we would send you a general tenancy agreement (not AST) to review.

This legal agreement would contain information about the length of the lease, rent payment details, terms and clauses.

What if I wanted to exit the contract?

The contract will outline a termination clauses, notice period, and the process for ending an agreement if necessary.

Will the tenant be on an AST agreement?

The tenants housed by the provider will be on a license agreement.
In the unlikely event a tenant would break the terms of their license they could be removed from your property promptly.
