Hi All
Has anyone used the following as I have a house coming available next month


The Government has allocated funding in 2010 for local authorities and approved housing bodies to lease or rent 4,500 residential properties from private owners. These properties will be used to provide accommodation to people who are currently unable to source suitable properties from their own resources.

Local authorities and approved housing bodies are available to discuss proposals with owners of all types of properties who are interested in making properties available. The Housing and Sustainable Communities Agency (Housing Agency) is also available as a central contact point for enquires.

Properties must be of good quality and can be new or previously occupied. Each local authority and approved housing body will also assess the suitability of properties proposed with reference to the housing needs that have been identified for that area.

In return, the local authority or approved housing body will enter into a legal arrangement with the owner for the use of the property for an agreed term and guarantee rent payments for the term of the lease.
