You don't need more property leads. You need the right property.
We understand that a building can look suitable on paper and still fail the real test: local demand, commissioner support, layout, accessibility, staffing, transport, adaptations, landlord expectations, rent and lease structure all have to align.
We understand the brief behind the brief.
Property acquisition is only one part of scheme development.
Provider requirements we see are often highly specific. One live requirement may call for 8–12 flats with a lift and communal area; another may need 6–8 larger flats or bungalows designed for enhanced needs; another may prioritise ground-floor options, gardens, wet rooms or proximity to transport.
Location can be narrow
Demand can sit at local-authority, town or even sub-area level. “Anywhere in the region” is often not a useful property brief.
Design follows need
Minimum floor areas, accessibility, robust construction, staff space, parking and neighbour impact can determine whether a scheme works.
Dependencies matter
A viable scheme can depend on commissioner engagement, housing/RP arrangements, planning or use, lease terms, works and the landlord's willingness to adapt.
Where schemes lose time.
Reduce noise. Improve fit. Keep momentum.
Capture the requirement properly
Geography, client group, property type, capacity, layout, accessibility, staff provision, parking, transport, works and timescale.
Screen property before introduction
We work with owners and agents to obtain the information needed to decide whether an opportunity deserves provider time.
Translate provider needs to the landlord
Where changes could make a scheme viable, we help explain the commercial rationale and coordinate the discussion.
Coordinate progression
We facilitate viewings and liaise across the parties, including around commissioner feasibility and the wider transaction where relevant.
Why “flats wanted” is not a sufficient brief.
Space
One provider requirement specifies a 45 sqm minimum for flats, increasing to 55 sqm where wheelchair access or enhanced/complex needs are supported.
Operational needs
Staff office space with toilet, washing facilities and kitchenette may be required within a flat scheme.
Community connection
Access to shops and bus links can be preferable, while isolated rural locations may not meet the brief.
Example requirements are drawn from provider criteria supplied to TSLC and illustrate how requirements can vary; they are not universal standards.
Tell us what you actually need.
Send us the geography, client group, property type, unit/bed count, layout, accessibility requirements, preferred timescale and any non-negotiables. We can then focus on opportunities that have a realistic chance of progressing.
