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

The Single-Family Housing sector is rapidly growing, and its impact on the existing rental market is becoming increasingly clear. Our CEO Will Montague explains what is driving renters to professionally-managed properties: "The benefits of living in a professionally-managed rented home are extensive. They are typically of a higher quality and the service is seamless; at Leaf Living we can take a 24/7, customer-centric approach to renting homes. All our properties are pet friendly, we offer no-deposit options and flexible tenancy agreements. Hamptons found there were 42% fewer rental homes on the market in Britain this summer compared with June 2016 as conditions grow increasingly more challenging for private landlords. As a result, we expect professional operators to play an important role in meeting demand."

We asked our LinkedIn audience about their priorities for sustainable home features, and here’s what they said: Energy Saving Measures: 67% Renewable Energy Sources: 17% Private Green Space: 17% Energy efficiency is clearly the top priority, not just for our LinkedIn followers but also for our residents. At Leaf Living, we proudly incorporate all these features into our rented homes. From cutting-edge energy-saving technologies and renewable energy solutions to thoughtfully chosen locations with access to both private gardens and local green spaces, we’re committed to meeting the expectations of today’s eco-conscious renters. #Sustainability #SFH #EnergyEfficiency #LeafLiving #BTR
