Leasing Scheme

Councils require properties in order to meet the demands of homeless families across Essex. Essex Property Leasing is owned and managed by ex-Council/Liberty Housing Officers and leases the property of behalf of local authorities. The tenants housed will mainly be those to whom a homeless duty is given, meaning they will have been investigated by the Council's Homeless team to ensure that they are eligible for housing. Leasing your property gives you complete peace of mind as there is no contract between you and the tenant. Your contract is only with us and we manage the property on your behalf.

There are many other benefits to leasing and these include:

  • Guaranteed rent paid on the 1st of each month
  • Absolutely no fees
  • One to Five year leases
  • Three month break clause
  • Up to £500 worth of repairs per year
  • Free gas certificates
  • Free electrical certificates
  • Free Inventory
  • Property handed back in original condition minus fair wear and tear
  • Quarterly inspections with reports to landlord
  • No contract between the landlord and tenant
  • Properties managed by ex-Council Housing Officers
