A placement agency for supported-living property.

CareKey places houses, HMOs, C2 buildings and blocks with registered care and supported-living providers, and helps take C2 planning applications through to a decision.

The right building, with the right provider, on terms both sides understand.

CareKey was set up to place supported-living property properly. Too many providers lose months to landlords who back out, buildings that can’t be used as planned and agents who don’t understand what a service needs.

We work directly with registered providers, landlords, developers and housing partners, and stay with every placement and C2 planning instruction from the first conversation to the signed lease.

Every instruction, start to finish.

We handle each placement and planning instruction ourselves, working alongside planning consultants, architects and independent contractors where the job needs them.

  • Requirement reviews
  • Provider meetings
  • Planning workshops
  • Agreeing terms

How we work.

Four principles that shape every placement and planning instruction.

  • Placement, not listing

    We stay with each introduction until the lease is signed or the purchase completes. Finding a building is the start, not the job.

  • Stated is not verified

    Planning use, licensing and certificates are recorded exactly as supplied, and marked verified only when we hold the evidence.

  • Planning early

    Whether a building can lawfully be used as planned is checked before anyone commits, not after.

  • Both sides informed

    Providers, landlords and partners always know what has happened, what happens next and who is doing it.
