Episode 89 of Lets Talk hears Lizzie McGhie, Lettings Negotiator with Link Housing Group discussing the intricacies of the Private Sector Leasing (PSL) scheme, which operates as C~urb, (part of the larger Link Housing Group). Lizzie provides an in-depth look at how this scheme benefits both landlords and tenants, offering a unique alternative to traditional rental methods.

Lizzie explains the structure of Link Housing Group and how C~urb PSL fits into the broader organisation and gives a general overview of its purpose and operations. She also shares her personal background, detailing her journey to this current role.

Listeners can learn about the main benefits of the PSL scheme for landlords, including guaranteed rental income and professional property management. Lizzie discusses the barriers that landlords may be concerned about when considering joining the scheme and how these challenges can be addressed.

On the tenant side, Lizzie talks about the significant advantages of renting a PSL property, and shares feedback from tenants who have experienced improvements in their housing situations thanks to the PSL scheme.

Host, Gillian Semmler asks about the types of properties included in the scheme, the criteria they must meet and the regions where PSL properties are most effective.

Finally, for landlords interested in joining PSL, Lizzie outlines the steps they need to take and the support available to them through Link Housing Association.
