Keystone Property Finance backs Homes for Ukraine scheme

Published on

Keystone Property Finance will help landlords who want to support Ukrainian refugees by signing up to the government’s Homes for Ukraine scheme.

The scheme allows landlords and tenants to act as a sponsor in the UK to host Ukrainian refugees in their homes rent-free.

The government is offering sponsors £350 a month for up to 12 months for housing a Ukrainian national and will also be provided with sponsorship packs following their approval as a sponsor.

Security checks will also be carried out on every sponsor and they will also be provided the necessary resources and protections.

Concerns have been raised that landlords may run into complications with their mortgage and insurance providers if they sign up to the scheme without contacting them. With that in mind, Keystone has pledged to do all that it can to ensure that landlords can sign up to the scheme with no negative knock-on effects.

Brokers are advised to call Keystone’s servicing team on 0345 877 8913 before their clients sign up to the scheme so that everything can be put in place correctly.

Elise Coole, managing director of Keystone Property Finance, said: “Everyone deserves a place where they feel safe and so we wholeheartedly support the government’s efforts to provide warmth and shelter to anyone having to flee Ukraine.

“It is heart warming to see so many people sign up to the Homes for Ukraine scheme and we are keen to make sure it is as easy for people who want to sign up to it to be able to do so.

“That’s why we are urging brokers who have landlord clients who wish to sign up to call us, so we can make sure the process is as smooth as it possibly can be.”
