Government funded leases. Fully managed. Built on long term demand. Trusted by UK and international investors.
Some adults cannot live entirely on their own. That might be a learning disability, a mental health need, or a physical disability. Councils have a legal duty to house them, and there is not enough suitable housing to go round.
So a registered provider takes a long lease on a suitable property and delivers the support inside it. The property needs a private owner. That owner is the investor.
The freehold, in your own name or through a company. You hold the title from completion.
A registered provider, on a 25 year full repairing and insuring lease, with rent reviewed each year in line with CPI.
The provider. They handle tenants, support, repairs and insurance. Nothing operational comes back to you.
This is one specific asset class. It is the only thing we broker, and the whole of this site is about it.
Two minutes on the whole model: what you buy, who takes the lease, who manages the property, and how the rent is paid and reviewed. If you have never looked at this sector before, start here.
Most people who look up assisted living UK want a home with care or support for a relative, not an investment. Charities and the NHS use the term that way: housing where an older or disabled adult gets day to day support while keeping some independence. If that is what you need, this page will not help.
This site uses the term differently. Here, assisted living means Specialist Supported Housing: purpose built homes for adults with additional needs, such as learning disabilities or severe autism. The residents need some support to live independently in their local community. The site uses the terms assisted living and supported living interchangeably.
The investor owns the home but does not run it or find the tenants. A housing provider does both, filling the homes through established referral pathways rather than the open rental market. See how the model works.
One way to invest in social housing in the UK is to buy a Specialist Supported Housing property and hold it under a long agreement with a housing provider.
The agreement is a 25 year FRI, fully repaired and insured, management agreement. The provider takes on the day to day operation under that agreement. Demand for the homes is driven by local authority requirements. Rent under the agreement is CPI linked, so it is designed to rise each year with the Consumer Prices Index. That CPI linked rent is one difference from buy to let; the 25 year term is another.
Capital is at risk, and the income depends on the housing provider keeping to that agreement for the full term. See our social housing property investment page for the full picture.

Most property investors focus on the same model. Short term lets. Buy to let. Constant management. Increasing regulation.
There is another part of the market, one built around long term demand, professional management, and structured agreements. That is where we operate.
Supported Living Investments sources and structures Specialist Supported Housing opportunities across the United Kingdom. We work with registered providers, Community Interest Companies, Community Benefit Societies, PLCs and limited companies to deliver:
As regulation increases and margins tighten across the traditional buy to let market, Specialist Supported Housing presents a more structured, income led approach to property investment.
Operating within a regulated, high demand sector driven by local authority requirements, this model offers a professionally managed, lower volatility alternative. With long term occupancy agreements and consistent demand, it provides investors with a foundation for portfolio diversification and long term asset positioning.
We work closely with established providers to identify, acquire, and deliver properties suitable for long term supported housing use. Each investment is structured under a 25 year FRI management agreement, with full operational oversight provided by experienced housing providers.
Plenty of firms will sell you a supported living unit alongside student pods, holiday lets and overseas apartments. We do not. Every deal we structure is a specialist supported living freehold on a 25 year lease, which is why we know which schemes stand up and which do not.

I have several other friends who have invested in similar projects. One of whom has nine flats. As I live with my family in Germany, it was important for us to optimise the return on our investment better than the four percent offered by banks here, which fluctuates almost daily.

Properties on long leases with care provision can be valued on the income they produce rather than bricks and mortar comparables. For owners of several units, that difference can release capital.
A standard residential valuer prices your property against what similar houses on the street sold for. A commercial valuer looking at a supported housing asset prices the rent instead, applying a yield to the income secured by the lease.
Where the lease is long, the rent is CPI linked and the provider is established, that approach can produce a higher figure than the comparable method. Refinancing against it can release capital to acquire further units, without disturbing the tenants or the support being delivered.
It does not work on every asset. Short leases, unregistered providers and properties without care provision generally do not qualify.
Whether you are an institutional investor or a private landlord, deals are structured around your exit plan, rent profile and growth ambitions.
Change any of the five inputs and the figures update as you type. It shows what goes in at purchase, what comes back out on refinance, and what the income looks like once the mortgage is paid.
Indicative only, and not financial advice or an offer. Stamp duty is estimated at a flat 6% of the purchase price. Real SDLT is charged in bands and varies with your circumstances, so take your own advice on the actual figure. Interest is shown on an interest only basis. Rates, lender criteria and valuations change, and a refinance depends on a lender valuing the property on its income. Property investment carries risk, including to capital, and your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage secured against it.

Mortgage advice and lending are handled by FCA authorised advisers, not by us. We introduce you and share the lease documentation they need. Rates and loan to value limits change, so any figure on this page should be treated as indicative and confirmed with the adviser.
