Across the UK, homelessness continues to rise—whether it’s visible rough sleeping or the hidden reality of thousands living in temporary accommodation or unstable housing. Meanwhile, housing associations face immense pressure to expand their housing stock quickly and sustainably, all while ensuring every housing provider solution meets the strict standards set by government and local authorities.
That’s where we come in.
Bridging the gap between property owners and social housing providers
Homlex acts as a bridge between private landlords and housing associations. We procure properties on long-term leases and ensure they meet the full regulatory and compliance requirements of supported or social housing. From rigorous inspections to refurbishment works, we take care of every detail so housing associations can focus on delivering care and services to tenants.
How We’re Tackling Homelessness
We believe that tackling homelessness means more than putting a roof over someone’s head. It’s about creating safe, secure environments where vulnerable individuals can begin to rebuild their lives. We work with local authorities, care providers, and support services to provide:
- Emergency and supported housing placements
- Move-on accommodation for those exiting temporary shelters
- Units tailored to specific needs, such as individuals with mental health conditions, domestic violence survivors, or former prisoners reintegrating into society
Every property we manage is maintained to a high standard, with compliance and tenant well-being at the heart of our operations.
A Full-Service housing provider solution to Housing Associations
Housing associations are under unprecedented demand to scale up services without sacrificing quality or compliance. We help by offering:
- Ready-to-go compliant properties that meet housing association standards, including HHSRS, gas and electrical safety, fire safety, and EPC ratings
- Comprehensive property and facilities management, handling everything from ongoing maintenance and repairs to utilities, cleaning, landscaping, and security
- Seamless onboarding and asset management, including full reporting, inspection schedules, and tracking systems
- Flexible leasing terms that allow associations to expand or contract their portfolios as needs evolve
By combining property management and facilities management, Homlex ensures every asset is not only compliant but also cost-efficient, clean, safe, and operational—reducing strain on overstretched housing teams.
Compliance-Led, Tenant-Focused
At Homlex, compliance is more than a box to tick—it’s the foundation of quality housing. Our team conducts thorough inspections, property audits, and necessary upgrades before any tenancy begins. We align with housing standards, safeguarding protocols, and all statutory regulations to ensure properties are not only safe but sustainable.
What makes us different is that we’re not just property people—we’re people people. We believe everyone deserves the dignity of a safe home. Our approach is personal, compassionate, and rooted in delivering long-term social value.
