Temporary housing


Pathmeads is a market leader in property leasing and management services. It pioneered the use of leased accommodation for temporary housing in 1985 and have since innovated and developed ways to use leased property to meet the requirements of local authorities to house statutory homeless and other families in need.


It constantly strives to improve the standards of the properties it acquires and manages, and to improve the standards of customer service it provides to all its customers.

Pathmeads was inspected by the Audit Commission in September 2007, and was assessed as providing a good (two star) service with promising prospects for improvement.


Property leasing and management now forms a core activity of Genesis Housing Group and directly employs approximately 140 staff. Pathmeads currently has contracts to acquire properties onto leasing schemes for nine London boroughs. It manages properties in 14 London boroughs.

Pathmeads provides a range of products, including temporary to permanent schemes, private sector leasing and management schemes, and housing association leasing schemes.


By successfully winning contracts and tenders, negotiating with our client boroughs, and maintaining the loyalty of our landlords, Pathmeads now maintains a portfolio of over 4,000 properties making it the biggest provider of this form of temporary housing in the country.
