Lease a property to us

Have your say

Residents are invited to have their say on the future housing model for social housing in West Northants. Council tenants and leaseholders will be sent a unique link to access the consultation form.

We currently offer landlords the opportunity to lease a property to us for a fixed term period

Leasing your property comes with a range of benefits, considerations and potential risks that should be carefully evaluated.

Some of the benefits include:

guaranteed rent - we pay the rent for the fixed period of the entire lease term, even if the property is vacant
long-term security - a lease provides financial stability, reducing concerns about tenant turnover and void periods
hands-off management - we will manage the tenancy, handle non-structural maintenance issues and deal with the tenant directly
no letting agent fees - since you lease directly to us, there are no agent costs
property maintenance - we offer to maintain the property to a basic standard and carry out minor repairs as per the terms of the lease
no council tax - there will be no council tax for the period of the lease, as we will cover this cost

Important considerations before leasing include:

limited control – you do not get to choose the tenants; we will do this in line our housing priorities, including those in vulnerable households
lease terms – the terms of the lease must be adhered to; this may include restrictions on access or works during the term
end-of-lease condition - the property may need refurbishment or repair at the end of the lease; we will return the property in the condition given once this is completed
