What does Oliver Landon do? The Business Model.

Oliver Landon (‘OL’, ‘the Company’ or ‘the business’) is a well known provider of social housing and accommodation in the London Metropolitan Area. They have built a reputation for quality and customer service. OL currently assist 14 Local Authorities (LA) with temporary accommodation.

OL acquire and manage housing stock from private landlords while renting out to LA’s. The business was set up in 2007 operating initially by way of different trading platforms and is now an important social housing provider in the London region with rising demand. The company has a number of long-standing and strong relationships with LA’s.

OL’s growth is testament to the long-term relationships they have built over the years. Contracts with landlords and LAs tend to be long term, between 3 – 5 years providing strong revenue visibility yet flexibility to suit landlords’ needs are paramount. 

The business model is simple and effective. OL acquire stock from private landlords and then lease this stock to LAs. Rent is received from LAs and the agreed rent is passed to the landlords.

Demand for temporary housing has increased significantly across London as young people are increasingly unable to afford rents. The pandemic has adversely impacted the economy resulting in job losses and reduced pay. This has placed even greater pressure on the temporary accommodation sector.

The company has enjoyed strong historical growth, which is expected to continue into the future, driven by favourable market conditions and its strong reputation with local councils and authorities.

Growth was driven by the acquisition of high value LAs such as Barnet and Westminster. 

The company has also been opportunistic and made intelligent portfolio acquisitions along the way.
