MID MARKET RENT

Mid-market rent as a tenure is aimed at assisting people on low and modest incomes to access affordable rented accommodation.

Properties let at mid-market rents are popular with people on incomes that are not quite enough to afford owner occupation or who have not saved enough for the deposit on a home of their own; or who need or want to rent for a limited period and can afford to pay more than a social rent or who would find it hard to qualify for socially rented properties where supply is limited.

Mid-market rent tenants usually transit from the private rented sector - typically they were renting a flat in the private market and were in need of more affordable accommodation and/or a better quality or size of flat.

They can be also private tenants on the waiting list for social renting or social tenants looking for a different size of flat or a different location.

The most common type of homes is a 2-bedroom flat, however due to increasing demand, a greater number of 2-3 bedroom homes are being delivered.

Usually, tenants will need to be in employment and have a household income of £19,000-£40,000 per annum.
