Lease For Life Housing Group is a specialist social lettings agency that works in partnership with private landlords and local authorities to provide secure, well-managed homes for hardworking families, key workers, and individuals in need of safe housing. We handle everything from tenant vetting and referencing to complete property management and guaranteed rent, making the letting process seamless, ethical, and profitable for landlords. We are currently working with landlords who are looking to sell their properties. While these homes are being marketed for sale, we offer excellent rental returns through our Temporary Accommodation (TA) model, which is based on direct agreements with local councils. These placements are not secured tenancies under the Housing Act, and we guarantee vacant possession within 28 days. This approach enables landlords to generate substantial rental income during the sales period, and many opt to continue with TA placements permanently due to the flexibility and financial benefits. Additionally, we operate a house-sharing platform for young professionals, delivered under a compliant House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) model. This provides much-needed affordable housing for key workers and essential staff, while offering landlords significantly higher returns. By managing every aspect of compliance and tenant care, we support communities in keeping vital workers housed locally and securely. At Lease For Life, we believe that housing solutions should serve everyone — landlords, councils, and tenants alike. Our goal is to provide stability, income, and long-term value in every placement we make.

Title: Landlord Used My Criminal Penalty to Cover Up Severe Housing Breaches
My name is Daniel Leme, and I am a tenant with Lease For Life. I'm writing this after the fact, with the full context of their deceit.
I lived with a dead boiler, rat infestation, and pervasive mold—a clear, prolonged breach of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. The company, particularly director Lisa, ignored these dangers for months.
When I finally lost my temper and caused property damage—an action that was wrong and resulted in a Magistrates' Court Notice of Financial Penalty—the company used this criminal matter as their sole defence to cover their civil failures.
Key Facts They Concealed:
The Court Notice is NOT an Eviction: The penalty I am paying to Lisa is for criminal damage. It does not give them a legal right to evict me or prevent me from living in the property. Their public claim that I was "formally removed" and was not permitted to return was a lie, which they used to mislead others and justify their negligence.
Privacy Violation: They breached my privacy by publicly discussing my engagement with the NHS mental health care team. This is completely unacceptable behaviour for a professional housing group.
This company prioritizes personal attacks and legal maneuvering over their basic duty to provide safe housing. I was forced to live in a hazard zone while they focused on covering their tracks. Avoid them.

One of the worse estate agents ever . Do not trust them . They are shysters . Do not trust Karen Bain she's a snake. By all means stay far far away from them she will only care for your money then bye bye. You will be house in drug dens, ex murderers flats , killers . Rather be homeless than renting with them .she care more about her appearance and her son and her staff. Do not trust them .speak to the council first and search them up. Company house . Citizens advise. They are not welcome or used with many council. Be careful. Do not trust them at all. Most of these reviews are fake or tennants who just moved in. I was happy when I first moved . Karen , Lisa, Debbie, promised so much then after I moved in was like a bomb. They disseminate. They are shysters . They only care for money from the council from mother and child . Do not trust them by all mean . If they offer you a flat in Brookhill road woolich , be assured , its very dangerous, its a converted house to flats. The noise are horrendous from upstairs as a man call Geroge sublet the upstairs for like 12 and 16 people living there. The electricity is upstairs so you cannot access it. Every one does drugs and smoke weed on the street. They play loud music. Arm police been there 4 times like 50 of then while I was there with guns etc. The police will say to you do not move there . There are police always coming and going as its a dead end road and very dangerous. Someone got killed and stabbed recently .You cannot leave door open or anything outside people will walk in druggies and also take what's in from your flat garden remember the people upstairs will trow there rubbish on your garden . The noise from upstairs and your neighbours is unbelievable Karen will never tell you this she doesn't care or give a toss as shes a nasty disgusting person .There are drunks living there ,upstairs its crazy and on the streets.
KAREN BAIN IS A NARCISSIST. BE CAREFUL.

Exceptional Support and Service from Lease for Life Housing Group!
From start to finish, my experience with Lease for Life Housing Group has been nothing short of outstanding. The team genuinely cares about the people they support, and it shows in every interaction.
A special thank you to Lisa, Karen, Vic, and Ifra — each of them brought something unique to the table, and together they made the whole process smooth, stress-free, and even uplifting. They were always professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful, guiding me every step of the way with patience and clarity.
It's rare to come across a team that works with such compassion and dedication. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Thank you all for making a real difference.

Karen and the team at Lease for Life helped me and my family get our dream home! As a family living in unsuitable accommodation with four children – the difference a good Agent and landlord can make. Lease For Life were professional from start to finish, and what a lovely landlord we now have. Thank you all for your support and help.Karen went above and beyond for us, always honest, transparent and supportive. I’m a very anxious person but Karen always reassured me every step of the way and kept communication constant. I couldn’t recommend Lease for life more.
