Property Developer and Investor in Social Housing and Supported Living

30/10/2026

It's one of the questions we get asked most: does the income keep up with inflation?

With supported housing, rent isn't fixed for the length of the lease. It's reviewed every year, typically each April, in line with CPI, so your income has a chance to move with the cost of living rather than fall behind it.

Over a 15 to 25 year lease that adds up, and it's part of why investors use supported housing alongside other assets, steady income that isn't left standing still.

We believe a great life starts with a great home, one that's safe, warm, clean, built to last and fit for purpose.

A home is only part of the picture, though. What happens in and around it matters just as much when someone is starting their next chapter.

That includes things like:

Furniture, floor coverings and a phone
Good food, local amenities and a way of getting around
Access to a doctor and a dentist
Help with employment, training or education
Support when it's needed, and someone to talk to
A sense of community

Many of these aren't typically funded through housing benefit, so at Bailey Capital we've made them part of our standard.

Every resident who moves into one of our properties has access to our bursary. It helps make sure they have what they need and the best possible chance at a great next chapter.

A successful life takes more than housing, but it starts with a great place to call home.

When we speak with local authorities and housing partners, the first question is usually the same: what yield are you looking for as an investor?

It's a fair question, but we start from a different place.

Take a one-bed flat in central London and a one-bed flat in Sunderland. The prices will be very different, and so will the yields, yet both could work well. Yield alone doesn't tell you whether a property is delivering what a local authority needs.

So when we set rents, our starting point is simple. We aim to deliver a better-quality property than the local authority could access elsewhere, at better value.

That approach is designed so everyone benefits:

Local authorities get higher-quality homes and less pressure on their waiting lists
Tenants live in a better property than they'd otherwise have access to
Investors receive a fair, sustainable return

Our rents are set below what the properties would achieve on the open market, which keeps the model sustainable for everyone involved.

It's also why we don't simply follow Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates. In some areas they work well. In many others, they don't reflect what it costs to deliver fully refurbished homes to the standard we hold ourselves to.

We believe the right approach is to deliver better-quality homes than would otherwise be available, for less cost.

Every year, the housing situation in the UK is getting worse.

In five years, the number of people in temporary accommodation has gone from 95,000 to nearly 140,000. Over the same period, the annual cost has doubled from £1.5 billion to £3 billion.

That’s more money each year, spent on a problem that still isn’t being fixed.

There must be a better way.

What would it take for a mum fleeing domestic violence with her children to know there’s somewhere safe to go tonight, rather than a hostel? What would it take to see those numbers start coming down?

We believe supported housing is part of the answer. We take empty and unloved properties back to brick and turn them into fully refurbished homes, leased long-term to providers who deliver the care and support people need.

That means:
✔️ Residents get somewhere warm and safe, where they can lock the door at night and rebuild their independence
✔️ Local authorities get a sustainable long-term alternative to temporary accommodation
✔️ Investors get predictable, government-funded income over 15-25 years

Real change happens one family and one home at a time. If we keep doing what we’ve always done, we’ll keep getting what we’ve always got.

Supported housing brings together three things the UK already has plenty of.

The first is private capital looking for responsible investments with a fair return and proper security. The second is underused buildings, from old social clubs to empty properties with real potential. The third is people ready for a safe, stable place to call home.

At Bailey Capital, our role is to connect them. We invest private capital to bring those buildings back into use as fully refurbished supported housing, leased long term to trusted housing and care providers.

The result is a model where everyone benefits:

Local authorities gain more sustainable, long-term homes for the people they support
Tenants gain independence, stability and a place they can be proud of
Investors gain government-funded, inflation-linked income from 15-25 year leases, fully hands-free, knowing their capital is making a difference

It's a simple approach, delivered with care and high standards on every property.

Ever wondered who actually becomes the landlord in specialist supported housing?

It's not us. We assign full landlord responsibility to a registered provider (RP) by lease, and they become the point of contact for the local authority and the residents living there. They manage the property and the tenancy.

Care is handled completely separately. A dedicated care provider looks after the residents' specific needs, funded by the health department or social care, and the two sides work together under a service level agreement that sets out who's responsible for what.

Two providers, one clear structure. It's why specialist supported housing works, and it's a sector we've been investing more into.

“What would it take to solve this problem once and for all?”

That was the question Will Bailey, our Managing Director, put to the room at the Feeding Families Pure Imagination Ball, where Housing 4 Good, one of our partners, was proud to be headline sponsor.

In his speech, Will talks about the growing pressure on housing across the UK, why collaboration matters, and the family who moved into a brand new home the same week as the ball.

It’s a reminder of why supported housing has to be done properly. When homes are fully refurbished, built to last and leased long-term to providers who deliver the right care, residents get a safe, stable home and investors get predictable, government-funded income.

Thank you to Feeding Families for having us, and to everyone who gave so generously on the night.

The Bailey Capital team were delighted to attend the Feeding Families Pure Imagination Ball, with Housing 4 Good as headline sponsors.

The room was full of people who came together for one reason: to make a difference to individuals and families facing hardship across the North East. Huge credit to the Feeding Families team, who are still counting and will share the final total next week.

Will Bailey spoke on the night about why the partnership made sense. Feeding Families make sure people have food on the table. Our focus is making sure they have a safe, warm home to eat it in. Both come from the same belief, that everyone deserves dignity and nobody should face crisis alone.

Will also shared the story of a young mum who had been living with a condemned cooker, a front door that wouldn’t lock, and damp so bad her daughter was struggling to breathe. That week, she moved into a brand new home. The cooker works, the door locks and there isn’t a patch of damp in sight. Feeding Families had even helped get it ready for her.

That’s the part of this work that matters most to us. Real change happens one family and one home at a time.

It’s also why supported housing is structured the way it is. Properties are brought back to brick and leased long-term to providers. Residents get safe, stable homes, and investors get predictable, government-funded income.

Thank you to everyone who gave, bid, volunteered and showed up.

Can I sell a property once it's leased?

Our investors find they don't want to sell once they see how secure our model is, but here's the answer.

A common misconception is that a long lease ties your hands.

In practice, an inflation-linked lease with a track record of paid rent is exactly what makes a property attractive to the next buyer.

We have more real questions with real answers, answered by our expert team during our recent webinar.

A great deal of work happens before we ever set foot in a prospective property.

We'll go through dozens of options to find the few worth driving out to see. And even then, it only goes ahead if everything lines up behind it: commissioner approval, a registered provider, a care operator, planning permission, and building control where we're remodelling.

If one of those doesn't hold, the property doesn't happen. By the time it reaches our list, all of it already has.
