Finding a suitable home.
We can explore local properties against an agreed brief covering location, accommodation type, layout, accessibility and timescale.
Tell us who you need to house.Let’s shape the home around them.
The right property starts with the right brief. We work with care providers and housing organisations to understand what is needed, where it is needed and what will make a home work in practice.
Where we can help
Preparing the property.
We coordinate acquisition and agreed works, bringing in appropriate specialists where adaptations or other requirements need specialist input.
Agreeing the handover.
We work towards an agreed specification and realistic programme, with responsibilities and acceptance checks clear before the home is handed over.
Providing a landlord relationship.
We aim to own the homes for the long term and remain available for the property responsibilities agreed for each scheme.
What we need to understand
We also welcome conversations about suitable housing for people with care experience where the right partners and requirements are clear.
- Who the home is for, using an anonymised description at the initial stage.
- Preferred locations and connections to family, services and transport.
- Whether the brief requires someone’s own front door, a bungalow, flats or compatible shared accommodation.
- Accessibility, sensory requirements, outdoor space and any staff or overnight-support space.
- The proposed care pathway, housing partner, funding arrangements and move-in timescale.
Housing partnerships
Some schemes involve a separate housing organisation alongside the care provider. We welcome that conversation early, so the landlord, tenancy, lease and support arrangements can be understood together.
We do not assume that the care provider will also be the leaseholder. The contracting parties and their responsibilities need to be identified before acquisition.
What happens before we buy
We agree the proposed brief, review the property requirements and work through the lease or other housing arrangements with the relevant partners. Any purchase is subject to a viable scheme, appropriate checks and agreed terms.
A first conversation
You do not need a fully developed proposal to speak to us. Start with the housing challenge your team is facing, and we can establish what further information is needed.
