We match your property with a vetted council or housing provider on a long-term, guaranteed-rent agreement — so you get reliable income without the legwork of finding and managing tenants yourself.
Rent paid regardless.
No searching, no vetting
Secure & reliable
We match landlords who want steady income with vetted councils and housing providers who take on the day-to-day management — so you get the income without the stress.
Our tenants are nominated by local authorities and housing providers, meaning they are government-backed — offering you greater security and reliability than the open market.
All placements are council-referred and carefully assessed before being placed in your property.
We work in partnership with local councils to provide safe, high-quality temporary accommodation for small families in need.
All placements are carefully assessed and referred directly by the council. We carry out our own checks to ensure the property will be respected and well maintained — so you can have complete confidence in who is living in your home.
By providing secure, well-managed housing, we support councils in meeting their duty of care while giving landlords a reliable, hands-off income stream.

We match your property with a vetted council or housing provider for a fixed monthly rent, agreed as part of your lease. Depending on your agreement, day-to-day management is handled either by your matched provider or by us.
We work with studios, flats, houses, and HMOs suited to small or medium families. Properties near good transport links and schools are especially suitable.
You are responsible for building insurance and keeping standard certificates valid — gas safety, electrical (EICR), and EPC. Your matched provider or Illumene will help you stay on top of these, depending on your agreement
Day-to-day repairs are handled by your provider under your agreement. Structural or major works remain the landlord's responsibility. Illumene's involvement in individual agreements is the exception rather than the rule — we'll confirm upfront if yours is one of them.
No — once matched, tenant matters sit between you and your provider. Illumene coordinates the initial viewing, then steps back.
Day-to-day updates come from your provider, as agreed in your lease. We'll be in touch directly when it's time to renew — and you're always welcome to reach out to us in between.
Rent is paid monthly, either by your matched provider directly or via us, depending on your agreement — the specifics are confirmed before you sign.
