The pioneering Caerphilly Keys housing scheme has been relaunched, to offer even more benefits to private landlords.
Caerphilly County Borough Council has been running the project since 2018 and has seen it grow from strength to strength in that time. Additional funding from Welsh Government has now allowed the Council to expand the scheme and develop ‘Caerphilly Keys Leasing’.
The aim of Caerphilly Keys Leasing is to help private landlords find suitable tenants for their properties, whilst finding homes for those people who may otherwise have become homeless.
Benefits for landlords include:
- Hassle free guaranteed monthly rental income
- No commission
- No empty property costs
- No arrears
- Full management of the property and tenant for the term of the lease (5 years)
- Grants to carry out property improvements and increase energy efficiency
- Tailored tenancy management and ongoing housing support provided to all tenants from the Council’s experienced staff
Cllr Shayne Cook, Cabinet Member for Housing at Caerphilly Council, said “Caerphilly Keys was a groundbreaking project and the first of its kind for a Welsh Council. We’re taking the successes and learning from the original scheme and enhancing it, thanks to Welsh Government’s Leasing Scheme Wales.
“I urge landlords with properties in the Caerphilly borough to get in touch with our dedicated Caerphilly Keys team to find out more joining and helping us find homes for those who need them.”
