700 rental properties listed for sale every day.
That is what Savills recorded in the 12 months to March 2026. 254,000 former rental homes entering the sales market in a single year, up 28% on two years ago. Of those that sold, just 14% were purchased by another landlord.
The Renters' Rights Act, rising compliance costs, and fixed-rate mortgages coming to an end have all played a part. For many landlords, the model that once worked simply does not stack up in the same way anymore.
But the housing need has not gone anywhere.
134,000 households are currently in temporary accommodation in England. A record high. And councils spent £2.8 billion last year trying to manage that through short-term fixes that cost more and deliver less than a properly structured long-term solution.
That gap between landlords leaving the market and tenants needing stable homes is exactly where supported housing sits.
Properties that might otherwise be sold out of the rental sector entirely can be acquired, fully refurbished back to brick, and structured into long-term supported housing, leased to approved providers for 15 to 25 years, with government-funded income agreed before purchase.
It works for the investor. It works for the provider. And it creates genuinely fit-for-purpose homes for the people who need them most.
That is the model we have built. And the current market is making the case for it more clearly than ever.
