The Mayor of London sets the income limits for intermediate homes and funds rented homes priced against key workers’ incomes.
Launched on 20 January 2026, with rents based on 40 per cent of key workers’ average net household incomes.1 The 2026/27 London-wide monthly benchmarks, including service charges, are £1,156 for one bedroom and £1,301 for two bedrooms, and borough benchmarks are capped at £1,750.2
Households must live or work in London, rent privately or live with family or friends because of housing costs, have a household income of £75,000 or less, not own another home, and be unable to buy locally.3
The Mayor expects providers to advertise the intermediate homes he funds on Homes for Londoners.2, 4 Councils and other landlords are encouraged to prioritise key workers for Key Worker Living Rent homes during the first three months of marketing.3
The income cap is £75,000 for intermediate rent and £90,000 for shared ownership.5 The schemes below are staff housing schemes for NHS trusts and other employers, with the status of each. Ask the operator or the employer about any of them.

The plan sets out five workstreams: more key worker homes in the council's regeneration programme, reformed intermediate allocations, exploring planning changes to raise intermediate supply, a relaunched intermediate offer with partners, and lobbying the Mayor to set eligibility against central London costs. The council said there would also be chances to review the key worker definition.
Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing has bought 110 homes from their Clapham Park joint venture with Vistry. Of these, 91 will be let at Key Worker Living Rent and 19 sold for shared ownership, within a regeneration of more than 2,500 new homes.
Planning permission has been granted for 152 Key Worker Living Rent homes and a community centre at Abbey Street, SE1, on council land, with Bouygues UK as developer and GLA grant funding. The council describes it as the first scheme under the GLA policy. Completion is targeted for 2030.
Southwark Council is consulting the market on a development partner to design, build, and operate 100 per cent affordable key worker housing on two sites. The partner would manage the homes through a registered provider for the life of the lease. The notice does not start a formal procurement.
Haringey Council's Cabinet agreed on 10 March 2026 to buy 565 homes on Tottenham High Road and White Hart Lane. Of these, 351 will be let at council rent and 214 at Key Worker Living Rent, capped at 40 per cent of average local key worker household income.
The Mayor confirmed Key Worker Living Rent, with a target of at least 6,000 starts by 2030. The practice note and consultation report were published alongside. Rents and service charges are set from 40 per cent of key workers' average net household income.
