housing
The core programme is dedicated to the UK social housing sector, deployed across its most resilient formats — from specialist supported housing, providing homes for those who need assistance to live independently, to shared-ownership schemes held alongside Registered
Provider partners, where stable rental income carries embedded upside as residents staircase toward full ownership.
Every scheme in the programme is acquired to the same economic signature: freehold ownership of completed, tenanted homes, held under long-term, fully-managed FRI agreements of up to 40 years with no break clause — CPI-linked with upwards-only rent
reviews, no voids, and no service charge, maintenance, ground rent or building insurance costs. Long-duration, inflation-protected income, free of the frictions of conventional ownership.
What sets the sector apart is the depth of its public framework. Social housing is among the most closely regulated asset classes in the United Kingdom. The firm's housing partners are Registered Providers, supervised by the Regulator of Social Housing — a public body
sponsored by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. Rental income is underpinned by the UK welfare system through the Department for Work and Pensions, and the sector's growth is driven by Homes England, the government's housing and regeneration agency. Our investments therefore operate within a framework designed, funded and overseen by the United Kingdom government and its authorities — where demand is underwritten by public policy and counterparties are subject to statutory oversight.
The programme is structured to deliver both financial returns and measurable social benefit.
situations
Alongside the social housing programme, the firm acquires assets arising from distressed and time-sensitive situations — motivated vendors, broken capital structures, and portfolios requiring a well-capitalised buyer able to complete at pace. The programme is not limited to
residential property: it extends across all asset classes, wherever the underlying income is sound — assets with long-term tenants already in place, or with letting fundamentals that support rapid occupancy.
