What is social lettings?

Back on the Map own properties throughout Hendon and take managing our own stock very seriously. Alongside the housing acquisitions, we have developed a Social Letting service for other private landlords in the area.

The Social Lettings service is driven by our social values and give us scope to grow our model, reverse decline on a much bigger scale and bring more local homes under community control. 

All properties are managed to our standard and the tenants benefit from having a locally based dedicated housing team providing support on their doorstep. Landlords would be provided with proactive tenant vetting, responsible tenant management and responsive repairs for their tenants at a competitive price.
