Care Provider
Leases
Long-term lease arrangements with CQC-registered care providers \u2014 institutional-grade security for your property investment.
Care Provider Leases are among the most secure and profitable letting arrangements available to UK landlords. When you lease your property to a CQC-registered care provider, you gain a tenant with institutional-grade financial backing, regulatory oversight and a long-term commitment to the property. Think about what this means in practice: instead of an individual tenant who might leave after six months, your tenant is a regulated organisation that has been through CQC registration, has audited accounts, receives stable funding from local authorities and the NHS, and has a legal duty to maintain the property to standards that satisfy its regulator. This is fundamentally different from standard residential letting. Our relationships span care providers of all sizes — from national organisations managing hundreds of care settings to specialist local providers deeply embedded in their communities. This breadth of network means we can match properties to the right provider for that specific location and property type. The financial structure is compelling. Leases typically run for 5 to 10 years. Rent is guaranteed throughout, regardless of occupancy. Annual increases are linked to RPI, protecting your income against inflation. The provider handles all internal maintenance, resident management, and day-to-day operations. You retain responsibility for the building structure and major systems — essentially the landlord responsibilities you would have in any arrangement, but with a tenant who maintains the interior to professional standards. For landlords who want to move beyond the unpredictability of the standard rental market, a care provider lease offers something genuinely different: institutional-quality income from residential property.

Care Provider FAQs
What does CQC-registered mean and why does it matter?
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. CQC registration means the provider has met rigorous standards for safety, effectiveness and leadership. This gives landlords confidence in the provider’s stability and operating standards.
How does rent get paid?
Care providers receive funding from local authorities and the NHS to deliver their services. Rent is a core operating cost paid from these stable funding streams. We structure agreements so rent is paid by standing order on a fixed date each month.
What are my responsibilities as landlord under a care provider lease?
You retain responsibility for the building structure, major systems (heating, electrics, plumbing) and external areas. The provider handles all internal maintenance, decoration, furnishing and resident-related matters. The lease agreement clearly delineates these responsibilities.
Can my property be returned to standard residential use afterwards?
Yes. Our leases include clear handback provisions. At the end of the term, the property is returned in the condition specified in the agreement (subject to fair wear and tear). You can then re-let as standard residential, renew the care provider lease, or pursue other options.
