Written by the company

Lease For Life Housing Group is a specialist social lettings agency that works in partnership with private landlords and local authorities to provide secure, well-managed homes for hardworking families, key workers, and individuals in need of safe housing. We handle everything from tenant vetting and referencing to complete property management and guaranteed rent, making the letting process seamless, ethical, and profitable for landlords. We are currently working with landlords who are looking to sell their properties. While these homes are being marketed for sale, we offer excellent rental returns through our Temporary Accommodation (TA) model, which is based on direct agreements with local councils. These placements are not secured tenancies under the Housing Act, and we guarantee vacant possession within 28 days. This approach enables landlords to generate substantial rental income during the sales period, and many opt to continue with TA placements permanently due to the flexibility and financial benefits. Additionally, we operate a house-sharing platform for young professionals, delivered under a compliant House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) model. This provides much-needed affordable housing for key workers and essential staff, while offering landlords significantly higher returns. By managing every aspect of compliance and tenant care, we support communities in keeping vital workers housed locally and securely. At Lease For Life, we believe that housing solutions should serve everyone — landlords, councils, and tenants alike. Our goal is to provide stability, income, and long-term value in every placement we make.

They go above and beyond

As a working family with small children, it was such a relief to find a company that wanted to help us with our housing situation and did so without being motivated by monetary gain. Staff took time out to talk to us and explain everything is so much detail and helped us with contacts and information. They know their stuff and are above all kind and considerate. We really appreciated working with the team at Lease For Life.

Highly recommend Lease For Life

Lease for life is an amazing company !!!!! I would highly recommend them. They helped me and my son find a lovely home, during a time where I was really in need. I was given the best advice and support from the whole team, especially Karen and Stefany. These two are special individuals, they was very professional and compassionate with handling my case. Even after securing a home for me, they still offer support, which really did stand out for me. Thank you Lease For Life

I have to say Karen at Lease for Life was really helpful and kind to a very distressed landlady. She calmly explained all of the options available to us and had a list of approved workmen. I could not recommend this company, or Karen personally, highly enough.

Thank you so much, Helen, for your lovely review. Helping Landlords stay in the marketplace is so important for us. As private rental stock diminishes, housing becomes harder. Again we thank you for your kind and supportive words.

Really lovely team

Really lovely team. Helped me out massively as a landlord and there were no hidden catches. Karen was my point of contact and she was literally awesome. Will be calling for more advice again and would recommend them in a heartbeat.

A fantastic organisation - Lease for Life Mentoring

A fantastic organisation! Great client support from the beginning to the end of the process. Karen, is absolutely amazing, truly a woman of her word. I cannot stress how professional, and super helpful she has been and I sincerely appreciate her, as well as Linda, you couldn’t have asked for a more proactive and determined team. Karen and her team are really informed and go the extra mile at every stage. I would recommend Lease for Life mentoring unreservedly. Natalie

I'm a self-employed yoga teacher and a key worker teaching yoga for rehabilitation after trauma. It is hard enough when you are working to find a home in London, but as a self-employed person, it is almost impossible. Everyone deserves a home they can afford. Great work, Lease For Life Team; you are doing great work!

Thank you, Sam; your review is appreciated, and you are 100% correct! Even fully employed people struggle with connecting directly to good landlords. This is why we invest so much time and effort into building relationships between all parties, proving rent history and reliability for a Landlord and good standard for the tenants. Thank you for supporting us 😊

Thank you so much for your kind words Parminder. When working with families spanning multi-generations and wanting to stay together, it is rewarding to be part of the solution.

Words cannot describe how amazing they are.

What lease for life are doing is really special. They helped me and my family find a lovely home at very short notice, and were able to help us at a time when we needed it the most. Anywhere else I tried to contact to rent a home told me I need to earn a certain amount, which for me was out of reach. Then Lease for life did their magic and found us a place we could call home. They were very professional and efficient. Karen and Lisa who I had the most contact with were brilliant, they’re very hardworking and passionate about what they do. I am very grateful for them, Thank you!

Highly recommend this team

Highly recommend this team – they are extremely knowledgeable and are very professional. Being a landlord can be extremely stressful, Lease for life help alleviate all that and help organise everything for you. From vetting tenants to organising insurance they can do it all. Give Lease for Life a call and see for yourself. I highly recommend them.

Shannon – you humble us with your kind words 😊. You are a fantastic mum; you have worked hard and fought your corner. The opertunity to match you with a Landlord who understands what home really means is where our passion lies. To you and us, a home is not just a roof; its is where hearts reside, children grow up, and families come together. We do what we can, but parents like you do all the hard work. 😊

I work full time in recruitment

I work full time in recruitment; Im a single guy, and finding a home in the rental market has been challenging. It is like all the 1-bedroom flats go to single parents – excluding us single people. Not judging, but is it fair? Anyway, I have given a shoutout to Lease for Life – they are amazing at what they do. Landlords, please think about renting to us single guys; we make great tenants too. Just ask the team at Lease for Life

Thank you, Ashley; it is true that single tenants can struggle to secure housing more than families, and we highlighted this on our insta a few weeks ago regarding the irrefutable corrolation between men, homelessness, and mental health issues. It can be demoralising to fight to be accepted for a home constantly. So much more needs to be done to resolve this area of housing. We really do appreciate your review and your support 😊

I work full time on a Zero Hours Contract. I have a good income and have always worked. But because zero hours Contracts are not considered secure jobs, referencing companies would fail me before I even make an application. Letting Agents were unable to help me, even though they tried. I WORK, I have GREAT Landlord references, and no one would or could help me. Would you please support Lease for Life, they make the impossible possible.

Thank you, Yolima; this is a significant point –The Local Housing Allowance (LHA) is set much lower compared to the traditional rental market prices (this is why firstly it's so so hard to find homes at the rent level). Still, a 2-bedroom flat in SE18 at the LHA rate of £1350 PCM requires you to earn a joint/ several incomes of £40,500 a year, which is over 20% above the London typical wage of £33,000 (according to Average Salary Survey). This is before even looking at Zero Hours Contracts or those receiving UC support. So it's an extremely unfair system from start to finish.

Thank you, Nicola. We appreciate your support. Being able to stay close to family is essential; with 2.4 million separated families in Great Britain, including 3.6 million children (from government statistics 2020), we know how important family is for mental and emotional wellbeing. Being able to pop around the corner to have Sunday lunch with your parents, or see a sibling or be close to nephews and nieces has a significant impact on you and them. Thank you so much for your review.

Thank you Yulieth, anyone can find themselves with tenants unable to pay their rent; recent times can attest to this. This is why we ensure all our tenancies are supported with Rent Guarantee Insurance. BUT when your rent is set close to, if not at the Local Housing Rate – you know 100% you have a solid platform to bounce back from often without relying on an insurance claim. Your support is invaluable 😊

Jasmina, it's fantastic you have reviewed us so that prospective Landlords can see that we support a broad spectrum of tenants. Not only those receiving government support but those in full-time employment. We know how important it is to help keep you close to your work, family and friends; keyworkers are vital to London's heartbeat, we will always do our best. 😊 We are very grateful for your review 😊
