All the upside of property. None of the landlord headaches.
Traditional buy-to-let means tenants, agents, void periods, surprise boiler bills, EPC upgrades, Section 24 tax changes and ever-tightening regulation. Supported Housing flips the model: a single professional housing provider takes on the entire property under one long-term agreement — and pays you a fixed rent regardless of what happens inside it.
The provider pays for everything
Repairs, insurance, maintenance, void periods, tenant management — all covered by the housing provider for the full 25 years. That's what 'fully managed' means in plain English.
Rent paid even if it's empty
Your rent is paid by the housing provider, not the end occupant. If a room is empty for a month, a year, or never let at all — you still get paid. Every month. For 25 years.
Zero phone calls. Ever.
No tenants ringing about a leaking tap. No agents chasing you for sign-off. No 3am boiler emergencies. The rent simply lands in your account — and rises with inflation each year.

A regulated income chain — from central government to your account.
Rent in Specialist Supported Housing isn't paid by a private tenant. It flows through a chain underwritten by UK housing policy and channelled through a Registered Provider on a 25-year fully managed rental agreement.
Housing benefit / Exempt Accommodation funding allocated to support vulnerable adults — a statutory, demand-led budget.
A registered housing provider rents the property on a 25-year fully managed agreement, manages tenants and covers all repairs, voids and compliance.
Freehold or long-leasehold in your name. CPI-linked rent paid directly into your account every month for the full 25-year term.
Funded via long-term UK supported-housing frameworks.
25-year fully managed rental agreement with the provider — not an individual tenant.
Rent reviewed annually in line with the Consumer Price Index.
The yield we quote is the yield you actually bank.
Most buy-to-let "net yields" are only net of letting-agent fees — every other cost still comes out of your pocket. TKI Supported Housing is engineered the other way round: the provider absorbs the running costs for 25 years, so the contracted yield and your real-world income are the same number. Move the slider to see it for any investment amount, side by side.
Traditional Buy-to-Let
8.0% grossTKI Supported Housing
11% netRent rises with inflation. Your yield-on-cost rises with it.
Because rent is reviewed annually in line with CPI but your purchase price is fixed, the yield on your original capital compounds upward every year.
You're not locked in. The rental agreement sits with the property, so you can sell whenever you choose and the new owner steps into the same income stream. No minimum hold period, no exit fee. A tenanted property with a long government-backed income is often easier to sell than an empty buy-to-let.
Illustrative comparison based on widely quoted UK landlord cost benchmarks (letting fees 10%, ~1 month voids, ~10% repairs, standard insurance & compliance) versus TKI's fully managed rental agreement. Your actual figures depend on property and provider terms — book a consultation for a personalised projection.

Common investor questions
Who pays the rent?+
Rent is paid by a registered housing provider under a 25-year fully managed rental agreement. The provider is in turn funded through long-term supported-housing arrangements aligned with local authority referrals.
What is the minimum investment?+
Properties currently start from £144,040 with a £5,000 reservation fee. Cash buyers only.
Do I own the property?+
Yes. Properties are typically held freehold (houses) or long-leasehold (apartments) in your name. The 25-year rental agreement is signed with the operating housing provider.
How is rent reviewed?+
Rent is reviewed annually and linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), providing inflation-protected income for the full term.
Am I locked in for 25 years?+
No. The 25-year term sits with the property, not you. You can sell whenever you want — the rental agreement simply transfers to the new owner, so the income keeps running uninterrupted. There is no minimum hold period and no exit fee from TKI.
Can I sell during the rental agreement?+
Yes, at any time. Properties are typically held freehold (houses) or long-leasehold (apartments) in your own name, so you can list and sell on the open market like any other asset. A tenanted property with a long government-backed income stream is often more attractive to income-focused buyers than an empty buy-to-let.
