What are social housing deals?
Social housing deals involve leasing a property to a housing provider (such as Serco or Mears) or a local authority, who then house tenants on your behalf. You receive guaranteed rent, typically lower than open-market rent but with far less void risk and no day to day tenant management.
Supported living is a similar strategy where a care provider leases the property to house vulnerable adults. The provider pays a per-room rate and handles care staffing; you receive regular income with lower management burden than an HMO.
On The Deal Board, social housing and supported living deals include the provider rent or per-room rate, whether the investor pays bills, management allowances, and estimated monthly profit. Some deals also include Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rate data to help you assess whether the asking rent is achievable for the area.
Why use The Deal Board
Guaranteed rent
Social housing providers pay guaranteed rent, often with longer contracts and lower void risk than open-market letting.

Many deals include Local Housing Allowance rates for the area, helping you assess whether the asking rent is achievable for social housing use.
Lower management burden
The provider handles tenant management and, in supported living, care staffing, making these strategies more hands-off than HMOs.

Provider matching

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I buy a social housing deal?
Create a free investor account, browse the deal board and filter by 'Social Housing' or 'Supported Living' strategy. When you find a deal, request a viewing and submit an offer directly to the landlord.
What's the difference between social housing and supported living?
Social housing typically involves a housing provider (like Serco or Mears) housing tenants and paying you guaranteed rent. Supported living involves a care provider leasing the property for vulnerable adults, paying a per-room rate and handling care staffing.
Is the rent really guaranteed?
Social housing and supported living providers typically offer longer-term contracts with guaranteed rent, which means lower void risk. However, contracts do end and providers can change terms, so always do your own due diligence.
Do I pay the bills?
It depends on the deal. Each listing shows whether the investor pays utility bills and council tax, or whether the provider covers them. This is factored into the profit calculation.
Is it free to join?
