For private landlords · England, focused on the Midlands & South East
One lease. One professional tenant. Rent secured under lease terms.
BG Housing Group connects private landlords with social housing providers through long-term lease arrangements. Your tenant is an established housing provider — rent is payable under the lease, whether or not the property is occupied, for the full term.
How it works
Three steps from enquiry to a signed lease. We facilitate the arrangement; the lease itself is between you and the housing provider.
Initial review
We review your property against what social housing providers in your area are looking for — location, layout, condition and compliance — and tell you honestly whether it's a fit.
Matching & heads of terms
We introduce your property to a suitable provider and work through the key terms with you: lease length, rent, repairing obligations and handback condition.
Lease completion
You and the provider enter into the lease. From completion, the provider is your tenant — rent flows under the lease terms and the provider houses and manages the occupants.
What sits where
A long-term lease redraws the usual landlord workload. Here's the division, in plain terms.
The housing provider takes on
- Finding and housing occupants throughout the term
- Day-to-day tenancy and property management
- Void periods — rent remains payable under the lease
- Routine repairs and maintenance, as set out in the lease
- Returning the property in the condition the lease defines
You keep
- Ownership of the property throughout
- A single professional tenant with a covenant, not individual ASTs
- Rent income secured under lease terms for the full period
- Freedom from lettings, arrears-chasing and turnover
- A defined end date and handback condition
A note on plain language
You'll see the phrase "guaranteed rent" used widely in this market. We don't use it. No rent is ever truly guaranteed — it is secured by the terms of a lease and the covenant of the provider who signs it. That distinction matters, and we'd rather you understood the arrangement exactly as it is.
BG Housing Group facilitates lease agreements between landlords and housing providers. We are not the guarantor of the rent, and we'll never present ourselves as one. What we bring is the introduction, the structure, and a compliance-led eye over the terms you're signing.
Who this suits
Long-term leasing isn't right for every landlord. It tends to work best for:
Hands-off landlords
You want the income without the lettings cycle — no tenant-finding, no turnover, no midnight maintenance calls.
Portfolio landlords
You're consolidating around predictable income and fewer counterparties, and value a professional tenant across several units.
Accidental & remote landlords
You've inherited or relocated away from a property and want it working — and looked after — without managing it yourself.
