Accessible property expertise & services
Since 2018, we’ve been focused on the supply of accessible homes in the UK Private Rented Sector, offering research, strategic advice, and commercial services to developers, landlords, and fund managers to help integrate accessible homes into their portfolios.
Our Services
If your organisation has accessible homes to sale or rent, we can help. Working with us improves financial returns and increases social impact, providing expert advice on what to do, and what to avoid. We cover the whole product lifecycle, helping your team to:
Identify Opportunities
Find areas within your portfolio where financial and social benefit could be delivered by including accessible housing in the mix. We can produce heat maps of likely demand based on factors such as transport links, frequency of enquiries from potential tenants and comment on which assets are best suited for accessible use.
Design Specification
Establish a clear design specification for accessible properties within your portfolio, going beyond Part 4 (M) building regulations and into practical areas. More attractive bathroom design, advice on kitchen units, how to organise switches and power sockets, wardrobe fit out and internal storage. We can substantially improve the usability and future-proofing of accessible properties, saving you money and improving tenant satisfaction.
Develop Financials
There's no reason accessible homes should be seen as a "cost" of doing business. We can contribute data to help you build a fully researched financial model for investors and financial stakeholders which demonstrates that the prospective returns from accessible units over time will meet or exceed the returns delivered standard units.
Educate Team
We offer guidance and training for your team on accessible property design, specifications and how to conduct a successful viewing with a wheelchair user, or those with other mobility needs.
Find Tenants
We will market your accessible properties across our network including large employers, special interest websites relating to accessible needs and our growing database of prospective wheelchair user tenants.
Abode Impact have successfully helped us to source wheelchair user residents for our adapted apartments. They are knowledgeable and professional advisors, and
I highly recommend their specialised services.

Abode Impact gave us detailed, informative advice on our accessible units and quickly found suitable tenants for them. They were very responsive to our needs as a landlord, and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
