Why Invest In Social Housing?

Social housing is considered one of the safest and most secure investment strategies. The process involves the sourcing and purchasing of a property with the aim of leasing it out to a social housing provider for a fixed, guaranteed, long term rental income. The property is then managed by them/the social housing provider/ housing associations/ local council.

This setup offers investors a secure and stable income stream, often backed by government support, making it both an ethical and financially attractive option.

At Invest North, we specialise in sourcing properties that fit the requirements needed for the Social Housing model and help investors navigate this unique and impactful sector. By partnering with housing associations and local councils, we ensure that your investment delivers consistent returns while contributing to communities.
