Most of you will probably already know that Social Housing is affordable housing provided by local authorities and housing associations. It plays a vital role in the UK, providing homes for people on low incomes, those with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups. There are many benefits to investing in Social Housing, both from an ethical perspective and an investment perspective.
The Vision
Investing in social housing helps to meet the needs of those who cannot afford to rent or buy a home on the open market. The UK is currently facing a housing crisis, with over 1.6 million households on waiting lists for social housing. You’ll be able to see from our website that part of our vision is to help tackle the UK housing shortage by providing high quality housing across Southern England. Part of this vision is to increase the supply of social housing too. Investing in social housing can help to boost the economy. And let’s face it, it needs all of the help it can get at the moment!
The Importance
Most importantly, investing in social housing can have a positive impact on people's lives. Having a secure and affordable home is essential for people's health and well-being. It allows them to focus on other aspects of their lives, such as education, employment, and family. We’ve worked incredibly hard on providing high quality, secure and affordable shared housing for young professionals, working professionals and students and now it’s time for us to invest our expertise into social housing too.
The Benefits
Investing in Social Housing is an incredibly effective way of diversifying your portfolio. You can do this by buying properties directly from local authorities or housing associations, or by buying properties that are already being let to social housing tenants. In the current market, diverse portfolios are undoubtedly the strongest portfolios. By diversifying your property portfolio, you are spreading your risk across different asset classes and locations. This means that if one property or market underperforms, your overall portfolio won’t completely fall through the floor! Diversity in a portfolio also gives you more flexibility in terms of your income and exit strategy.
