The opportunity

What you are actually buying

  • What it is: a refurbished freehold house in County Durham, let under a 25-year management agreement to a specialist supported-housing operator.
  • What you own: the freehold title to a standard 2 or 3-bedroom house, in your own name at HM Land Registry.
  • Entry price: from £127,400 for a 2-bed and £176,040 for a 3-bed — fully refurbished, tenanted and managed.
  • Target net yield: 12% on a 2-bed and 13% on a 3-bed — approximately £15,288 and £22,885 of target net income in year one.
  • Where the rent comes from: government-funded housing-cost payments (Universal Credit or Housing Benefit) for eligible residents, administered through the provider and operator structure.
  • Lease type: pass-through — you are paid from the property’s real income after operating costs, not from a fixed promise. Compare the structures.
  • Rent review: CPI+1% annually, upward only, subject to the lease and legal pack.
  • Track record: 99% occupancy and 100% rent collection on a 600-unit transitional sample over 12 months; typical voids of about one week a year. Historic portfolio data, not a guarantee.
  • How you buy: introduced to a vetted broker or IFA who advises you through the purchase — remotely if you are overseas. Target 10–12 weeks to completion. Aii Property does not sell directly or give financial advice.

Returns shown are target returns and are not guaranteed. Income is linked to occupancy, eligibility, funding rules and operational performance. Historic operational figures are portfolio data and are not a guarantee of future performance. Seek independent legal, tax and financial advice before proceeding.

How Enquiries Work

We introduce. We don't sell.

Aii Property is a distribution business, not a sales floor. Every enquiry follows the same professional path — so you're advised, never pressured.

You enquire

Tell us whether you're an investor or an adviser, where you're based, and what you'd like to understand. No obligation — an enquiry starts a conversation, not a sales process.

We introduce you to a vetted adviser

Your enquiry is matched to a professional broker or IFA in our international network — someone who understands your market, your currency and your objectives, and who acts for you.

Your adviser guides the purchase

Property pack, due-diligence questions, your own independent solicitor, exchange and completion — your adviser walks you through each step alongside our deal team. Target: 10–12 weeks.

Why this matters: an advised purchase protects you. Your broker or IFA has a duty to you, asks the hard questions on your behalf, and ensures the investment actually fits your circumstances. Aii Property does not provide financial advice — we build the product, the evidence and the introductions.
Full Portfolio Showcase

Find your next property investment

The ten homes in the current showcase — refurbished, let under a 25-year management agreement, with monthly reporting from day one.

Prices, yields and year-one target income are taken from the current SIRE property showcase. Confirmed figures for a specific home are issued in its live property pack, subject to the lease documentation and legal due diligence. Full addresses are released in the property pack. Property values and income can go down as well as up; returns shown are targets, not guarantees.

A real house. A real tenant.
A real income flow.

No pooled funds, no paper promises — a freehold home on an English street, housing someone who needs it, paying you from the system that funds it.

The Model

The pass-through difference

The sector's past failures came from inflated fixed-rent promises. The pass-through lease is the correction: real income, from real funding flows, reported to you monthly.

An eligible resident moves inCare leavers, people fleeing domestic violence, and others in housing need — placed via Myshon's referral network (~80 placements per week nationally).
Housing-cost support is claimedIncome derived from government-funded housing-cost payments (Universal Credit / Housing Benefit), administered through the provider and operator structure.
Myshon administers & collectsClaims, rent collection, service-charge administration, compliance, repairs and tenant welfare — handled by a 150+ strong national operator.
Your rent passes throughAfter operating costs are funded, landlord rent is passed through to you with monthly I&E reporting via a ring-fenced client account.
Fixed-Rent SchemesPass-Through Lease
Income basisA fixed promise from the operatorReal property income from the funding system
When stress hitsOperator absorbs losses until it failsTransparent — you see the real flow monthly
AlignmentOperator incentivised to overpromiseLandlord, operator and provider aligned
UpsideCapped at the fixed figureSurplus may return to you or fund a sinking fund
Track recordRepeated sector failuresBuilt on operational infrastructure at scale

Transparent does not mean risk-free — income remains linked to occupancy, eligibility, funding rules and operational performance. Always take independent legal, tax and financial advice.

Written and maintained by Richard Davison

Head of International & UK Distribution · Aii Property

“UK supported housing has an unusually poor record of investor communication. A generation of schemes were sold on inflated fixed rents, with the downside buried and the operator’s balance sheet unexamined. When they failed, individual landlords carried the loss.

The response should not be to leave the sector — the housing need is real and structural. The response should be a better structure and much better disclosure. That is what this site is: the risks on their own page rather than in a footnote, the yield arithmetic shown rather than asserted, and every statistic carrying a date and a source.”

FAQs

Common questions

No — and we'd encourage caution with anyone who says otherwise. Income is derived from government-funded housing-cost payments and is linked to occupancy, eligibility, funding rules and operational performance. The 12–13% figure is a target net yield, not a guarantee. What you get instead of a promise is transparency: monthly income and expenditure reporting through a ring-fenced client account.

No. Aii Property is a distribution business — we build the product, the evidence and the introductions. Your enquiry is introduced to a vetted professional broker or IFA in our network, who advises you and guides your purchase alongside the deal team. We do not provide financial advice.

A UK residential property — normally a freehold 2 or 3-bedroom house — fully refurbished to the Decent Homes Standard and capable of returning to mainstream residential use, subject to the lease and legal advice. You appoint your own independent solicitor and complete a normal UK conveyance.

Those schemes promised inflated fixed rents that the underlying income could never support, with weak providers and no operational infrastructure. The pass-through lease pays you from the property's real income after operating costs, aligning landlord, operator and provider. Myshon brings the operational layer those schemes lacked — 11,000+ homes, 150+ staff, national referral and compliance teams.

Property review, reservation, then your solicitor runs full due diligence — title, lease, searches and contracts — through exchange and completion. We target 10–12 weeks from introduction to completion.
