We provide homes across North and East London with properties in boroughs such as Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.

Intermediate Rent homes usually have rents set at up to 70% of market levels in the local area.

We also invite applications from people in work who have housing needs including those registered on local authority waiting lists.
