How do guaranteed rent schemes work in Liverpool?
A vetted guaranteed rent provider leases your Liverpool property for 3 years or more and pays the agreed rent monthly. We find the organisation and negotiate the lease for you.
The Liverpool City Region brings together Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens and Halton. Providers across the city region look for homes they can manage on long leases, and we connect Liverpool landlords with organisations we have vetted.
From Bootle to Birkenhead and Widnes, the right property depends on the provider and the people they house. We won't promise demand we can't see: we'll look at your address and layout and tell you what we think.
If you're tired of tenant turnover or juggling repairs from a distance, a lease to one organisation can take much of that off your plate, with the provider handling occupiers and routine maintenance as your agreement sets out.
Can I lease my property to the council or a housing association in Liverpool?
Yes. Through Social Ready you lease to a vetted guaranteed rent provider, such as a housing association, council or supported housing provider. The local authority in Liverpool is Liverpool City Council.
You sign a lease with that organisation; you are not renting to the council's tenants directly, and the organisation is responsible for the people who live in the home. We vet and financially check every provider before we introduce them.

HMOs can suit supported-living providers who house several people in one home. You deal with one leaseholder instead of individual room lets.
In England, an HMO let to 5 or more people forming 2 or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence from the council, and councils can run additional licensing for smaller HMOs. Check with Liverpool City Council whether additional or selective licensing applies to your address.
