The LHA Expert

Are LHA Tenants costing you  time, energy and MONEY?

It doesn’t have to be that way – in fact, getting LHA Tenancies right can be hugely profitable and hassle free!

What if - someone could show you exactly how you can use the LHA system to turn your problems in profits?

What if - he showed you how to get the maximum amount of rent for each of your properties?

What if - he showed you how to get LHA claims completed and into payment within 14 days?

What if - you could make sure you get paid directly by Local Authorities – every time – so you don’t have to collect it from tenants?

What if - he told you you can get direct payments awarded after just 4 weeks of arrears – not wait 8 weeks

What if - he told you how you can make sure any Overpayments are collected from the Tenant – Not You?

There is someone – The LHA Expert – and he does all of this and more in his newly released eBook “LHA and how to make it work for you”.

LHA is an opportunity to increase cash-flow and produce rental yields that we haven’t seen for years, all you have to do is to learn how to work the system, and use it in your investment strategy. –  John Paul

My name is John Paul, and I am The LHA Expert.

I own Castledene Property Management, a hugely successful lettings agency in the North East.
I believe the secret to my success was to see the niche in the property lettings market regarding LHA.  Unlike most other Letting Agents, my target market is landlords with LHA tenants and I have made it my business to understand how the system works, and how to make it work for me, and the Landlords whose properties I (and my team) manage.

In just 3 years, Castledene Property Management now manages over 1400 properties over 7 branches, with well over 1000 of our tenants being on LHA.

We also get paid direct from the council, for over 97% of those LHA Tenants, so what we do certainly works.

Learning about the LHA System, and applying that knowledge to my own portfolio, and to my lettings business, has greatly improved the profitability of both of them for me.

Through this website and my Ebook and Workshops, my goal is to help you to do the same for yours. I’ll be sharing the tips and techniques I use, that make Castledene innovative and successful, and show you how you can implement them for yourself.

The LHA Market is big enough for all of us – in fact – it’s HUGE and it’s getting bigger!!

Look at these statistics:

• According to the DWP, in December 2009 the total number of people claiming Housing Benefit was 4.61 Million, with 1.2 million of them renting in the private sector
• The Government’s own forecast for LHA expenditure for 2009-2010 was £2.6 Billion, and with the current economic difficulties continuing, this is set to grow further.
• Government projections predict that LHA will account for a whopping £4.4 Billion of public spending by 2011-2012.
• According to a recent NLA survey, 52% of Landlords said they would not rent to LHA Tenants.

This has led to a shrinking supply of housing stock for benefit claimants, as other Landlords and Letting Agents either stay out, or change tack and leave the LHA Market.

What this means for us is that I, and you,  have very little competition – there are very few Landlords and Letting Agents dealing with LHA Tenants and even fewer who understand it.

If you are one of those Landlords or Letting Agents who know how to make the LHA Scheme work for you – you get a bigger slice of an ever expanding market!

So whether you are:

• A Landlord who self-manages your portfolio, and wants to do it more profitably, or who is currently experiencing problems with the LHA system
• A Landlord who wants to know what you should be looking for from your Letting Agent; or
• A Letting Agent who recognises that getting LHA right could significantly improve your bottom line

….then there will be something useful for you here.
