TSLC – The Supported Living Consultancy
For Landlords & Property Owners

Understand the opportunity before you commit to it.

Supported living can offer property owners a different route from conventional residential letting, but the sector is specialist. We help you understand the structure, assess suitability and navigate the process without pretending every property — or every lease — is the same.

What landlords usually want to know

Who will actually be my tenant?
Where does the rent come from?
Who handles repairs and maintenance?
How long can the process and lease take?
What makes my property suitable?
The fundamentals

Supported living property is not a standard buy-to-let proposition.

The arrangement can involve care providers, Registered Providers, local authorities, commissioners and specialist housing structures. The precise tenant and lease structure depends on the opportunity.

The tenant

The legal tenant may be a Registered Provider/Housing Association, supported living care provider, children's home provider or another relevant housing organisation, depending on the scheme.

The lease

Longer-term commercial leases are common in the sector, but term length, repairing obligations, insurance, rent review and break rights vary. They must be assessed on the actual lease offered.

Your decision

Submitting a property or signing TSLC's intermediary agreement does not oblige you to enter a lease. The lease is provided to the relevant parties for review and signature.

Property suitability

What providers are actually looking for.

Demand is specific, not generic. A postcode alone does not make a property suitable.

Blocks of self-contained flatsOften one-bedroom units, with scheme size, communal/staff space, accessibility and lift requirements varying by provider.
Bungalows and bungalow clustersParticularly relevant where accessibility, ground-floor living or enhanced needs are important.
Shared accommodationLarger houses can work where bedroom size, bathrooms/en-suites, communal space and local demand align.
Beyond the building

Providers assess the whole environment.

Location & commissioningLocal need, commissioner support and the provider's operating footprint matter.
Access to everyday lifeTransport links, shops, amenities and community access can be important to scheme viability.
AdaptabilitySome schemes need wet rooms, wheelchair access, robust specifications, staff facilities or other works.
How TSLC helps

A consultancy approach, not a promise that every property fits.

Initial property review

We review the address, layout, bedroom/bathroom information, photos, rent requirement and other key details.

Requirement matching

We consider live and developing provider requirements and whether the property is worth progressing.

Commercial discussion

We establish the rent you want to achieve and coordinate discussions around provider requirements and viability.

Introductions and progression

Where there is a fit, we facilitate introductions, viewings and the wider progression process with the relevant parties.

Important: lease structures differ. Claims such as “all repairs are always covered”, “rent is guaranteed” or “every lease is 25 years” should not be treated as universal. The actual lease terms govern the arrangement.

Have a property you think could work?

You do not need every document before making contact. We can carry out an initial review without floor plans, although floor plans are required before provider matching can begin.
