We build close relationships with tenants to ensure that landlords know their property is being properly maintained at all times, dealing with every possible maintenance issue in the shortest possible timeframe. We ensure peace of mind for landlords and safe, well maintained properties for tenants to the benefit of all involved.

Trusted by landlords and tenants alike:

We focus on building strong, respectful relationships by delivering reliable services, clear communication and compliant housing solutions that meet UK national and local standards.

What We Do

Property Management Designed Around People:

At Homes for People we offer practical, hands on, personalised and fully managed housing services that support landlords, tenants and investors across South East London. All our services are designed to reduce stress, improve stability of tenancies and deliver long term value for landlords.

Rent from Us

All our properties are fully licensed and comply with all elements of government legislation and we work directly with you to provide well managed, well maintained homes. We focus on reactive solutions to issues and a pesonalised approach to create a positive renting experience for tenants.

Property Management

Our property management services focus on building strong relationships with tenants to ensure any potential maintenance issues are dealt with in the fastest possible way. This means that landlords can be confident that they have well maintained homes and happy tenants which reduces stress and increases the length of tenancies, maximising your return on your investment.

HMO Consultancy

We support landlords and investors with expert guidance on HMO set up, compliance and optimisation. Our consultancy ensures properties meet current regulations which in turn maximises your return as a landlord and helps you to appeal to a much larger tenant market.

Guaranteed rent

With our ‘Guaranteed Rent’ service, landlords receive a fixed monthly income for an agreed term, regardless of occupancy with Homes for People covering all day to day maintenance issues included in the price (See further details on our ‘Guaranteed Rent’ section of the website). The perfect solution for those that want a strong rental return without any of the hassle.

Common Questions

Answers to Your Housing Questions

Read more about all our property management, consultancy and investment solutions that put People at the centre of everything we do

How do we find your tenants?

Your property will be advertised in all the right places, from Flatshare to Right Move to ensure that you are reaching all your potential clients. We work with local universities and colleges and are listed as a trusted agency with them.

Once enquiries are received and a tenancy agreed we carry out all the legally required ‘Right to Rent’ checks to ensure compliance and we make sure that your property is well protected by carrying out credit checks and securing guarantors for all tenants on our joint tenancy agreements, securing peace of mind for landlords.

We take a full, in detail inventory of the property, working with tenants to note any pre tenancy damage. This helps to build trust with the tenants helping them to see that we are working with them to create a fair and transparent inventory from the start.
Meter readings are taken and all compliance certificates are given to the tenants for their records. The government ‘How to Rent Guide’ is issued to the tenants and a full walk around the property is conducted with key instructions on how to operate the heating system and all appliances given.

With over 15 years experience in property management we have a team of trusted tradespeople that can be called upon to react to any maintenance issues quickly. We keep both landlord and tenant informed of work to be done and timescales via email and a dedicated Whatsapp channel, offering peace of mind to everyone.

We inform landlords of all the necessary certification they will need to ensure their property remains compliant with all local authority and national government regulations at all times and can assist with Gas Safe, EPC and Electrical Safety Certification to take the stress off the landlord.

This is a common question we get all the time at Homes for People and it is an area we have a great deal of experience in. A lot of councils now operate either an additional or a mandatory HMO licensing scheme. This can mean, as in the case of Greenwich Council for example, that if you are renting a property to more than 2 unrelated individuals that you will need a full licence from the council.

At Homes for People we offer a full consultancy service advising landlords how to ensure compliance and we can even provide our team to carry out any necessary adaptations to your property to make sure you are operating within your local authority guidelines. All our current rentals benefit from a HMO licence.

If you would like to know more about our HMO consultancy services, please check out the HMO Consultancy page on the site or drop us an email with your contact details and we will get in touch with you to discuss.

Simply put, Guaranteed Rent offer the landlord the security of knowing they will receive a set amount of rent for their property regardless of whether the property is tenanted or not. The service also means that day to day maintenance costs and labour costs are covered by Homes for People.

Leaky tap? Covered.
Broken washer? Covered.
Boiler breakdown? Covered.
Toilet cistern replacement? Covered
Shower tray cracked? Covered
And much more.

What Our Tenants Say

I’ve had a really good relationship renting with this agent. Communication has been super easy and they are always quick to respond when I reach out. It’s nice knowing I can get in touch without any hassle and can actually get clear answers to any issues. One thing I really appreciate is how fast they are with fixing things in the house. Anytime something has needed attention, it’s been handled promptly, which makes a big difference when you’re renting. It’s reassuring to know issues don’t get ignored and are taken seriously. Overall it is a smooth positive experience and I am happy renting through them. I’d definitely recommend this agent to anyone looking for someone reliable and easy to deal with.
David
Tenant of 5 years
My rental experience has been a pleasant one specifically because of how everything has been done by the book, from the contract to the deposit protection and to the home being equipped with fire safety gear, but also when any issues arise or repairs are needed things are sorted quickly and efficiently.
Zakh

It has been a fantastic experience renting from this company, we couldn’t be happier. They are fabulous to deal with, fast to fix stuff and great with communication
Kirk

What Our Landlords Say

Renting my property with Paul at Homes for People has been an absolute game changer for me. My property had been empty for around a year after issues with previous tenants in the property and with me studying full time I could not really find the time to manage the property myself. Paul arranged to view the property and gave me a fair offer under their Guaranteed Rent scheme which I took. Since then I have received my rent every month, on time and I never get any calls from them. Since they have been managing the property I have seen many upgrades from painting and decorating to replacing lots of appliances whenever I have gone to inspect the place. It’s actually in a better condition now than when they took it off me! Highly recommended
Ran
Landlord of 4 years
I invested with Homes for People and bought 2 properties through them. They found and completed all the legal documentation for me on my first property and completed a total refurb including building an extension and converting the loft to create a 5 bed HMO which increased the value of the property hugely. Since then I benefitted from a HMO licence which makes it easier for me to rent to students. They are good at what they do and they constantly look to improve the standard of the property. They’re great!
Xi
Landlord of 3 years
I had an issue with my flat which had been empty for sometime due to poor work from a builder who didn’t complete the job. I contacted Homes for People to see if they would be willing to take the flat on. They give me an agreed amount every month and they run absolutely everything so I can just get on with my life. The flat is in a great condition and they really do look after it. It has made life so much easier.
