For councils & housing associations

A property partner that treats your placement contract like a relationship, not a transaction

We work directly with local authorities and housing associations across the UK to source, manage and maintain homes for residents who need stable, good-quality accommodation — quickly, and without the back-and-forth.

What we provide

Services built for public sector timelines

Housing teams don't have the luxury of slow procurement. Every part of how we work is built to move at the pace your placements need.

Property sourcing & procurement

We identify and secure suitable properties against your brief — location, size, accessibility — and move quickly when a placement is urgent.

Temporary & supported accommodation

Self-contained units and HMOs managed to a standard that holds up to inspection, with welfare checks and reporting built in.

Maintenance, construction & regeneration

From responsive repairs to larger refurbishment works, bringing properties up to standard before and during a contract.

How we work with your team

Every local authority works differently, so we build the relationship around your process rather than asking you to fit ours. That said, most partnerships follow a similar shape.

Getting started

  • An initial conversation to understand your placement needs, volumes, and timelines
  • A clear quote covering property standards, rent levels, and management terms
  • A single point of contact for your team throughout the contract

Ongoing partnership

  • Regular condition and occupancy reporting, in whatever format your team needs
  • Full compliance documentation kept current and available on request
  • A maintenance line that residents and caseworkers can actually reach

Compliance & standards

We hold and maintain ISO certifications across quality, environmental, information security, and health & safety management, and we apply the same standards to every property regardless of whether it's let privately or placed through a public sector contract.

Why councils work with us

What partnership with Mila actually looks like

01

One contact, not a call centre

Your team gets a named account manager who knows the contract, not a rotating queue.

02

Properties that pass inspection

We hold ourselves to a standard that anticipates scrutiny, not one that scrapes by it.

03

Reporting in your format

We fit into your existing processes rather than asking your team to adapt to ours.

04

Capacity when you need it

A growing portfolio means we can usually move on urgent placements faster than smaller providers.
