FAQs

Supported living property investments offer a powerful combination of stable, long-term income and the opportunity to create genuine social impact. By leasing to supported living providers, investors often benefit from longer-term leases, no rental voids during the lease period, and reduced management responsibilities, with maintenance often covered by the provider.

This depends on your membership tier. Property listings must be renewed periodically to remain active; please delist your property once you have found a provider so that others are not wasting time on it.

We ask that you only upload properties which you own, control, or are in the process of purchasing, and that you disclose your legal or contractual arrangement concerning the property upfront so providers fully understand the situation.

Mortgage acceptance of supported living tenants varies by lender — not all lenders permit supported living tenants. Using a property for supported living without lender consent could breach your mortgage terms, so check with your provider beforehand. Specialist mortgage brokers who understand these requirements are available through our partner network.

Some providers require no specialist adaptations provided the property has valid gas and electrical safety certificates, complies with fire regulations, and holds a current EPC. Others may request specific adaptations, such as enhanced fire safety measures. There is no obligation to make adaptations, though providers may offer more favourable lease terms where you do.

Providers work with service users who have a wide variety of needs, so they look for a diverse range of properties — one-bedroom flats, two-bedroom houses, HMOs of various sizes, family homes, bungalows and blocks of flats. What matters most is the quality and safety of the property.

Typically 2 to 7 years, though some providers seek leases extending to 10, 20 or even 25 years. It is important to be fully comfortable with the level of commitment involved before entering an agreement.

Not if the property remains in C3 use (standard residential) — council tax is unchanged and is typically paid by the care provider leasing the property. If the property is reclassified as C2 use (residential institution), business rates apply instead, and these are also the provider's responsibility, not the landlord's.
