An east London local authority has made its high street
debut with its very own lettings agency. Havering Council opened the doors this month
of Liberty Housing in one of the borough’s busiest shopping areas, Hornchurch
Town Centre. The new lettings agency will see council staff work with private
landlords hoping to let out their properties to handpicked tenants. Landlords
will then hand over management to the council in return for guaranteed market
rents, even if a property remains empty. The council hopes that by encouraging
more landlords to sign up to the scheme they can create more opportunities for
local people struggling to access high quality private rented accommodation. Read more on the Havering Council website.
