Rental options

An introduction to the different rental options available at L&Q, including London Living Rent, Rent to Buy and Intermediate Market Rent.

London Living Rent (LLR)

London Living Rent is designed for people currently renting and wanting to get onto the property ladder but cannot afford to do so yet – either through shared ownership or on the open market.

Learn more about LLR, including eligibility, on LQ Homes.

Rent to Buy (RtB)

Rent to Buy is a government scheme to help people transition from renters to homeowners.

Rents are usually set at 80% of market value to help put your savings on the rent towards a deposit to buy your first home.

Learn more about RtB, including eligibility, on LQ Homes.

Intermediate Market Rent (IMR)

The Intermediate Market Rent scheme is designed for people who may not be able to afford a home yet.

Rents are 20% lower than market value to help you redirect a proportion of your finances towards saving for a future home. 

Learn more about IMR, including eligibility, on LQ Homes. 

Private Rented Sector (PRS)

L&Q PRS is now trading as Metra Living.

To find out more about Private Rental homes, please get in touch with Metra Living.

Help with your home

It's no small admission to say that our success as a landlord is due in part to the strength of our team here at L&Q.

We've cultivated our Lettings team over the years by bringing on board some of the industry's most qualified and experienced people and developing them in-house so they can meet our high customer service standards.

But more goes into managing our homes than just the customer-facing elements. We need to make sure all our homes are kept in the best possible condition for incoming tenants, which is where our top-class Maintenance team comes into the picture.

This in-house capability allows us to respond to incidents quickly and decisively without relying on third-party support.

We'll also assign you a dedicated Property Manager who will be your go-to person for everything related to your tenancy and home. This means you'll always have ongoing support and easy access to all our services.
