Institutional lease demand — right inside your portfolio.
England faces a structural shortfall of over one million social and affordable homes. The care sector is expanding faster than supply can keep pace. Public bodies — councils, NHS trusts, and registered care providers — are turning to the private rental market to fill the gap on long-term, fully guaranteed leases. APEX brings that institutional demand directly to your portfolio.
Requirements are posted
Public bodies — councils, NHS trusts, care providers, and housing associations — post detailed property requirements directly to the APEX board. Each requirement specifies beds, location radius, minimum specification, lease term, and covenant type.
APEX matches your portfolio
The platform scores every asset in your portfolio against active requirements using a location-and-specification algorithm. You see a ranked list of potential matches — complete with match score, estimated lease value, and covenant strength — without leaving your dashboard.
Staged disclosure protects both parties
When you confirm interest in a match, APEX initiates a staged disclosure process. The requirement-poster confirms interest before identities are revealed. You control what information is shared at each stage — from summary detail through to full asset profile.
Who is posting requirements — and what they need.
