Own the house.
The system pays the rent.

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.

Yes — the model suits overseas investors seeking GBP income from a hands-off UK asset. The purchase completes remotely through your independent UK solicitor, and reporting is delivered monthly wherever you are. Non-resident tax (including NRLS) applies; take independent tax advice.

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.

Income is derived from government-funded housing-cost payments — Universal Credit or Housing Benefit, funded by the DWP and administered with the local authority. The eligible resident claims; the provider and operator structure administers the claim and collects; operating costs are funded from the service charge; the remaining landlord rent passes through to you. The government does not guarantee your rent — it funds the housing-cost payments the resident is eligible for.

Typically a new or upgraded boiler and heating, electrical upgrades, fire safety and compliance works, full redecoration, new flooring, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, furniture and white goods, and all gas, electric and EPC certification — followed by a final compliance inspection and fit-out to Local Authority requirements. The benchmark is the Decent Homes Standard.

Most portfolio properties are acquired on a cash basis, which simplifies the legal process, speeds completion and removes mortgage interest as an ongoing cost. UK buy-to-let mortgages are available to some international buyers but criteria vary by lender, nationality and residency. Remortgaging later to release equity is possible in principle once the property is established — take specialist broker advice at the right stage.

Stamp Duty Land Tax on purchase, including a 2% non-resident surcharge; UK income tax on rental income under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme, reduced by allowable deductions such as management costs and service charges; and potentially Capital Gains Tax on any gain when you sell. None of this is unusual for UK property ownership, but all of it needs independent advice from a UK accountant.

The service charge funds maintenance, insurance, tenant support, compliance, management, utilities, void provision and repairs — portfolio data indicates around £25 per unit per week in average maintenance spend. Where expenditure comes in below budget, the unspent balance may be returned to the landlord or retained as a sinking fund for future works, meaning effective return can exceed the target in some periods. That is portfolio data, not a promise.

Re-letting is the operator's job. Myshon's national referrals network places around 80 tenants a week, and historic portfolio data shows typical voids of about one week a year on the 600-unit transitional sample, with average tenant stays of 18–24 months. Historic operational data is not a guarantee of future performance.

Yes — you own the freehold and can sell. Resale takes time and the buyer pool may be narrower while the lease is in place, but because these are ordinary 2 and 3-bedroom houses capable of returning to mainstream residential use, subject to the lease and legal advice, there is a natural resale audience of owner-occupiers and standard landlords. That optionality is deliberate.

People who need stable accommodation while moving toward independence — care leavers, people leaving domestic violence, households from local-authority waiting lists. This is light-touch supported housing, not 24-hour care. Alongside the financial case, each home reduces pressure on temporary accommodation and gives someone a genuine route forward.
