Leaf Living

🏡 Did you know half of all privately rented households in the UK (2.65 million) are in suburban areas? Families are looking for: Safe, quiet neighbourhoods. Private gardens and more living space. Access to good schools, local amenities, and green spaces. Yet the single-family rental housing sector caters to just 0.4% of these families. This presents a huge opportunity for developers and landlords to deliver the housing these families need. At Leaf Living, we focus on high-quality suburban homes with flexible tenancy terms, pet-friendly policies, and features like energy-efficient design and smart home technology. Families stay longer in their rented homes, making suburban single-family rentals a resilient, secure investment opportunity. Together, we can transform perceptions of renting in the UK. #SuburbanLiving #SingleFamilyHomes #BuildToRent #LeafLiving

At Leaf Living, we know that exceptional property management is key to creating homes where our residents truly thrive. Jay and his team are central to delivering that mission. In Jay’s own words: “The way we make a Leaf Living home better is by going the extra mile. I see the property management team as the beating heart of what we do. The best part of our role is connecting with our residents. We are there for people throughout their letting journey, and it’s through our team that we can ensure first-class service for our residents across the board.” The team are committed not just to managing properties, but creating vibrant, welcoming communities where people feel supported every step of the way. #LeafLiving #PropertyManagement

Pets are not just companions—they’re family. Yet, for millions of renters across the UK, finding a home that accommodates their furry friends can feel like an impossible task. According to Dogs Trust, housing issues are among the top reasons pets are surrendered, while Cats Protection reports that over half a million households would own a cat if rental agreements allowed it. The London Standard has published an article highlighting a growing movement toward more inclusive rental options, featuring inspiring stories like Jessica’s— one of our residents who found a home with Leaf Living that welcomed her dogs, Loki and Mac. Her journey reflects the transformative potential of pet-friendly rentals, offering stability, modern amenities, and green spaces for both humans and pets to thrive.

At Leaf Living, we believe several key factors are setting professionally managed rentals apart from traditional private sector offerings. In his recent property expert interview, our CEO Will Montague shared valuable insights on our approach: “Firstly, our approach is entirely customer centric. We offer high-quality, newly-built homes that meet modern standards in design, energy efficiency, and comfort. All our properties have at least a ‘B’ EPC rating, which helps residents save on utility bills and reduces their carbon footprint. “We also offer a range of options in tenancy terms, allowing residents to stay as long as they wish without the fear of the landlord selling the property. Professionally managed properties are more likely to provide key benefits that renters seek to make a house feel like their home - benefits that are often harder to find in traditional private rentals. Importantly for many families, our homes are pet-friendly, and we allow residents to decorate with prior approval. These elements create a sense of permanence and warmth that’s often missing in traditional rentals." At Leaf Living, we're committed to creating spaces that families can truly call home. #LeafLiving #ProfessionallyManagedRentals #CustomerCentric #FamilyHomes #SustainableLiving #RentalHousing #PropertyExpert
