ABOUT US:

Apex Housing Solutions has been guaranteeing landlord rents since 2008, and focus on providing social housing for the majority of local authorities across London.

We started as a small company with just a few dedicated team members. In response to increasingly expensive letting agent fees and tightening government regulations that continue to reduce landlord margins, Apex provided a solution to maintain solid rental yields while eliminating the daily hassles of property management.

As Rent Guarantee Agreements gained popularity due to their secure income, our business rapidly expanded. In 2021, Apex received backing from BGF, one of the largest and most experienced growth capital investors in the UK and Ireland.

Today, Apex considers itself as one of London's leading guaranteed rent provider, delivering high-quality property management services to landlords and our local authority partners.

As a strong promoter of diversity, we're always on the lookout for passionate property talent. We're insightful, ambitious and inspired by creative ideas and innovations that positively impact housing in London.
