Looking for Hands-Off Property Income?
We understand why you're searching. But before you go further, there's something you should know.
We Get It. Passive Income Sounds Ideal.
You invested in property for the returns. Not for the midnight calls, the compliance headaches, or the constant tenant management. If you are searching for hands-off property income, you probably want:
- •Your time back, without giving up your investment
- •Someone else to handle the day-to-day operations
- •Income you can rely on without the unpredictability
- •Peace of mind that the property is looked after
That is a reasonable thing to want. And there are products that promise exactly this.
But that is not what we offer.
This Is NOT a Hands-Off Model
We are going to be direct with you.
If you want someone else to manage your property, take over tenant relations, and handle everything while you collect a cheque, this is not the right solution. Our framework requires active involvement from you as the property operator.
What we offer is something different: significantly higher yields that make the hands-on work worthwhile.
~£200-261 per room per week. Government-backed.
For experienced HMO landlords willing to operate their own properties, the income potential is substantially higher than standard private letting. The yields justify the work.
Government-Backed Payments, Not Tenant Affordability
Properties qualifying under our framework achieve Exempt Accommodation status. This unlocks enhanced Universal Credit housing element rates that are not capped by Local Housing Allowance.
Enhanced Rates
Standard UC single adult claimants: approximately £200 per room per week. Enhanced claimants (PIP, LCW, WTC, or Carer recipients): approximately £231-261 per room per week. Figures are area-dependent.
Payment Security
Payments are government-backed through the DWP, not dependent on individual tenant affordability. Once a tenant is correctly placed, the housing element is stable. This removes the rent collection uncertainty common in standard private letting.
100% Net Income to You
After framework deductions, you receive 100% of the remaining income. There is no profit split. The framework provides the regulatory structure; you operate and keep the returns.
What This Actually Requires
This is a hands-on model for experienced operators. Understanding the division of responsibilities is essential before you proceed.
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
The framework gives you access to enhanced income rates and regulatory structure. You retain ownership, operational control, and the full responsibility that comes with it.

Is This Right for You?
This framework suits a specific type of landlord. Being honest about fit saves everyone time.
This IS for You If
- •You are an experienced HMO landlord comfortable with hands-on management
- •You want significantly higher yields than standard private letting
- •You prefer government-backed payments over tenant affordability risk
- •You are willing to work within a compliance framework for better returns
- •You value demand-led occupancy in the supported housing sector
This is NOT for You If
- •You want someone else to manage your property entirely
- •You are seeking truly passive income with no operational involvement
- •You are uncomfortable handling tenant issues and behavioural management
- •You want a fixed income regardless of property performance
- •You are new to property and unfamiliar with HMO management
If you want hands-off income, this is not the solution. If you want higher yields and are prepared to operate, read on.
Common Questions
Why would I choose this over something truly hands-off?
The income. Hands-off arrangements typically pay below market rates because someone else is taking the operational margin. Here, you do the work and keep the full returns. For experienced landlords, the difference is significant.
What kind of yields are we talking about?
Approximately £200-261 per room per week, depending on claimant type and area. These are net figures after framework deductions, assuming 75% occupancy. Compare this to standard private letting yields in your area.
How much work is actually involved?
The same as running any HMO: maintenance, tenant queries, occasional issues. The framework handles the regulatory status and payment processing. You handle everything else. If you already manage an HMO, you know what this involves.
What if I have multiple properties?
The framework accommodates portfolio operators. The more properties you operate, the more the enhanced yields compound. But you need the capacity to manage them all to the required standard.
Is this compliant and regulated?
Yes. The framework operates under Exempt Accommodation regulations. Properties must meet defined compliance standards and pass inspection. All arrangements are documented through formal agreements.
Ready to See If Your Property Qualifies?
The first step is a property suitability assessment. We review your property details to determine whether it meets framework requirements. Standard pathway properties can be live within 21-28 days.
No obligation. Initial assessment provided free of charge.
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.
This is not a passive income product. You remain the property operator and are responsible for day-to-day management, maintenance, and tenant relations. Void risk remains with you.
Properties must meet defined compliance standards and pass inspection before going live. All arrangements are documented through a formal Service Level Agreement.
