The Renters' Rights Act 2025 has fundamentally changed the residential letting landscape. Fixed-term tenancies are gone. The certainty your clients depended on has been removed. Many are frustrated — and they will turn to their professional adviser first.
A supported housing commercial lease is a professionally structured alternative that sits entirely outside the residential letting framework. We handle the brokerage. You remain the trusted adviser.
The private rental landscape has changed significantly, and the cumulative effect on portfolio landlords is considerable. Most will bring these concerns to their accountant or solicitor before they act. That conversation is an opportunity to offer something more than sympathy.
Mortgage interest relief restrictions continue to erode net returns for mortgaged landlords. The tax position that worked several years ago often no longer works today, particularly for higher-rate taxpayers.
Fixed-term tenancies have been abolished. Landlords can no longer rely on the certainty of a defined term. Tenancy management has become more complex, and the framework around possession has fundamentally shifted.
Multi-property portfolios face an increasing administrative and compliance burden. As regulation tightens, the gap between what a portfolio demands and what a private landlord can manage widens.
A supported housing commercial lease changes the structure of how your client's property income is held and managed. Instead of a standard private residential tenancy with an individual tenant, the property is leased to a CQC-regulated supported housing provider on a long-term commercial basis — typically three to five years.
The lease sits entirely outside the residential tenancy framework. It is negotiated and documented with SSH-specialist solicitors, and the terms are structured to protect your client's position throughout the term. We handle every stage of that process — from provider matching through to legal completion.
You identify the client and make the introduction. We handle the entire brokerage process — property assessment, provider matching, lease negotiation, and legal coordination through to completion. You remain the trusted adviser throughout. We operate as the specialist behind the scenes.
We are a specialist brokerage, not a financial advisory or legal practice. We do not give tax or legal advice and we do not draft leases. We find the right provider, negotiate the right terms, and manage the process through to completion — so you can present your client with a structured, professionally delivered solution, handled by people who know this sector.
Verum Assets Ltd is a specialist supported housing brokerage connecting private landlords with CQC-regulated supported housing providers through professionally structured commercial leases. We are ICO registered (ZC119105), operate under a full AML compliance framework, and work with a vetted panel of SSH-specialist solicitors.
Every engagement is conducted with the rigour and transparency that professional advisers and their clients expect. We understand that your reputation is on the line when you make a recommendation — and we take that seriously. Our role is to make you look good to your client by doing our job well.
If you have a client who could benefit from a supported housing commercial lease, we are happy to have a confidential, no-obligation discussion about whether it could work for them.
