Leasing your property

Alternatively, you could lease your property. Leasing Scheme Wales (LSW) is a leasing scheme funded by Welsh Government and managed by local authorities. The scheme provides you with the opportunity to lease your property to the local authority for hassle free guaranteed monthly rental income.

Benefits for property owners:

• Hassle free guaranteed rental income for the length of the lease (at the relevant Local Housing Allowance rate) – meaning no rent arrears and no voids.
• Grants to bring the property up to rental standard.
• Property inspections, repairs and maintenance covered (subject to reasonable wear and tear).
• Full management of the property and tenant for the lifetime of the lease.

If you are interested in this scheme, please get in touch with your expert local team of housing advisors on 01685 725000 or Email: HousingGateway@merthyr.gov.uk.
