We’re under contract to locate suitable properties to fulfill a housing mandate for the Ministry of Justice (MOJ). The lease agreement would be established directly with us, providing a dependable and secure rental income stream for you.

To reassure you further, our rental payments are government-backed, ensuring their reliability and promptness. We’re aiming for a 5-year lease, offering you the added benefit of stability and peace of mind over an extended period.

Maybe ask for some initial documents to prove who they are before the viewing?

It may not be a scam, but I still wouldnt touch it as its rent to rent.

Do not get involved with this. There are companies that do this but you end up being responsible for running an HMO you cannot control. The implications are not good.
