Higher Yields.
Government-Backed Payments.
An Exempt Accommodation framework that unlocks enhanced housing rates for your HMO. You remain the operator. You keep 100% of net income. ~£200-261 per room per week.
The Framework Model
Letora operates a regulated Exempt Accommodation framework. We recruit hands-on landlords to operate their own properties within our compliance structure.
This is not property management. We do not take over your property. You retain ownership and operational control. The framework provides the regulatory status, tenant documentation, and payment processing.
You Join the Framework
A Service Level Agreement governs the relationship. You use our tenancy documentation and comply with defined standards. The framework entity appears on tenant paperwork.
You Operate
You handle day-to-day property management: maintenance, tenant issues, and behavioural management. This is a hands-on model for experienced HMO landlords.
You Keep 100% Net Income
After framework deductions, you receive 100% of the remaining income. No profit share. ~£200-261 per room per week depending on claimant type and area.
Government-Backed Income
Properties qualifying under this framework achieve Exempt Accommodation status, unlocking enhanced Universal Credit housing element rates.
Enhanced Housing Element
Exempt Accommodation rates are not capped by Local Housing Allowance. This means significantly higher income per room compared to standard private letting. Payments are government-backed via the DWP, not dependent on tenant affordability.
Net Income to You
After framework deductions, you receive approximately £200 per room per week for standard UC single adult claimants, or £231-261 for enhanced claimants (PIP, LCW, WTC, or Carer recipients). Figures are area-dependent and should be verified for your location.
Once a tenant is correctly placed, the housing element is stable.
Payments flow through the framework and are distributed to you. This is not a guaranteed rent product. Your income depends on occupancy and your own operational management.
What This Means for Operators
When you join the framework, you become an Operator. Your role is hands-on property management within the regulated structure.
You Handle
- •General maintenance and property upkeep
- •Day-to-day tenant issues and queries
- •Behavioural management and tenant relations
- •Property compliance within framework standards
- •Void risk and operational decisions
The Framework Provides
- •Exempt Accommodation regulatory status
- •Compliant tenancy documentation
- •UC housing payment collection and distribution
- •Tenant referral pathways (optional)
- •Defined compliance framework and inspection
Designed for Experienced HMO Landlords
This framework suits landlords who already manage HMO properties and want higher yields without giving up operational control.
- •Existing HMO landlords comfortable with hands-on management
- •Those seeking higher yields than standard private letting
- •Landlords wanting government-backed payments instead of tenant affordability risk
- •Those seeking exemption from LHA caps and HMO licensing requirements
- •Operators who value demand-led occupancy in the supported housing sector
This is not for: Hands-off investors, guaranteed rent seekers, or those unwilling to manage tenants directly. If you want someone else to run your property, this model is not suitable.
The Regulated Framework
Everything is documented through a formal Service Level Agreement. The framework provides regulatory structure while you retain operational control.
- •Service Level Agreement governs the landlord-framework relationship
- •Framework tenancy documentation used for all placements
- •Defined compliance standards with initial and periodic inspection
- •UC housing payments collected by framework and distributed to operator
- •Tenant referral pathways available (acceptance not mandatory)
The Service Level Agreement is a commercial contract governed by the laws of England and Wales.
Submit Your Property
The first step is a property suitability assessment. We review your property details to determine whether it qualifies for the framework. Standard pathway properties can be live within 21-28 days.

Important Information
Income figures are indicative and vary by area and claimant type. The ~£200-261 per room per week range is net of framework deductions and assumes 75% occupancy. Actual results depend on property performance and your operational management.
Properties must meet defined compliance standards and pass inspection before going live. Void risk remains with the operator. Tenant referrals are optional and acceptance is at the operator's discretion.
All arrangements are documented through a formal Service Level Agreement. You should seek independent legal and financial advice before joining.
