Supported Living Finance for Property Investors and Housing Providers

[awsprivate]

Finding the right funding for a supported accommodation project can be more complicated than arranging a standard residential or buy-to-let mortgage. Supported Living Finance is designed to help investors, landlords, housing providers and property developers secure funding for the purchase, conversion, development or refinancing of supported living properties.

At AWS Private Finance, we understand that supported accommodation projects can involve specialist lease arrangements, rental structures, housing providers and specific property requirements. Our experienced team can help you explore suitable finance options based on your circumstances, property and investment plans.

Whether you are purchasing your first supported living property or expanding an established portfolio, we can help you understand your options and structure your finance around your objectives.

Specialist Supported Living Finance Solutions

Supported accommodation can offer attractive opportunities for property investors, but securing appropriate funding requires an understanding of how these properties operate.

Traditional lenders may assess supported living properties differently from conventional residential investments. Factors such as the property's intended use, lease terms, rental income, operator arrangements and the experience of the borrower can all influence the availability and structure of finance.

Our role is to help you navigate these considerations and identify finance solutions that could be appropriate for your project.

Supported Living Finance may be considered for:

• Purchasing existing supported accommodation
• Acquiring properties for conversion into supported living
• Refurbishment and improvement projects
• Development of supported accommodation
• Portfolio expansion
• Refinancing existing supported living properties
• Releasing equity for further investment
• Restructuring existing property finance

Every project is different, which is why we take the time to understand your plans before considering potential funding solutions.

Supported Housing Finance Tailored to Your Investment

Supported Housing Finance can be particularly relevant where a property is operated under a longer-term lease or agreement with a housing provider or other organisation.

The structure of the arrangement can be an important consideration when approaching lenders. Instead of looking only at the property's value, lenders may also want to understand how the property generates income, who occupies it, who operates the accommodation and the terms underpinning the rental arrangement.

At AWS Private Finance, we can help you prepare for these considerations and explore the funding market based on the specific circumstances of your transaction.

Our whole-of-market approach means we can help you investigate potential options rather than relying on a single lender's criteria.

Finance for Supported Living Property Purchases

If you are looking to buy a supported living property, having your finance strategy in place early can help you approach an acquisition with greater confidence.

You may already have identified a property, have an agreement in principle, or simply be exploring potential investment opportunities. Whatever stage you are at, understanding how much you may be able to borrow and what information lenders could require can help you plan your next steps.

We can discuss factors such as:

• The property's purchase price and value
• Your deposit or available capital
• Existing property holdings
• Proposed supported living arrangements
• Lease or rental agreements
• Expected property income
• Your experience as an investor or landlord
• The intended use of the funding

The earlier you understand your potential finance position, the easier it can be to assess whether an opportunity fits your investment strategy.

Supported Living Finance for Conversions and Development

Not every supported accommodation opportunity involves purchasing an already-established property.

You may be considering the purchase of a residential property that requires conversion, refurbishment or redevelopment before it can be used as supported accommodation. In these circumstances, the funding requirements can be more complex.

Supported Living Development Finance may potentially help fund eligible acquisition and development costs, depending on the project, lender criteria and proposed exit strategy.

Before proceeding, it is important to consider the full project costs, including acquisition, professional fees, construction or refurbishment works and ongoing finance costs.

AWS Private Finance can help you understand the potential funding routes available and identify the information that may be required when presenting your proposal to lenders.

Supported Living Refinance and Equity Release

Already own supported accommodation?

Supported Living Refinance could provide an opportunity to review your existing borrowing and consider whether your current finance remains suitable for your circumstances and future plans.

As property values and investment objectives change, refinancing may potentially allow you to restructure existing borrowing or release equity from your property.

Released capital could potentially be used towards:

• Purchasing another supported living property
• Refurbishment or improvement works
• Portfolio expansion
• Development opportunities
• Additional investment projects

However, refinancing is not simply about releasing as much equity as possible. The new borrowing should be considered alongside affordability, interest costs, loan terms and your broader investment strategy.

Our team can help you assess your circumstances and explore whether refinancing could support your next stage of growth.
