Corporate Landlord
Merton Council has approved a Corporate Landlord Model to centralise management of its property portfolio.
Merton Council approved a new Corporate Landlord Model in September 2026, centralising ownership and responsibility for managing its extensive property portfolio. This strategic shift aims to ensure the council's assets are safe, fit for purpose, and strategically planned for future organisational changes.
The model will oversee approximately 563 freehold titles, including both operational and non-operational assets. Many of these properties are ageing and face increasing maintenance needs and rising costs, which the new model seeks to address. No further discussions or decisions are currently scheduled.
