What would you take home from a traditional buy-to-let compared to supported housing?

With a typical buy-to-let, once you account for renovation costs, void periods, letting agent fees, and ongoing maintenance, most landlords are realistically netting somewhere in the region of 4 to 4.5% a year. Sometimes less, if there's a big maintenance bill along the way.

Compare that to a property leased to a supported housing provider. No letting agent fees. No void periods. No maintenance costs to factor in. The yield we quote is what actually lands in the investor's bank account, and it's inflation linked, rising each year in line with CPI.

It's not about one model being right and the other wrong. It's about understanding what you're actually left with once the hassle and hidden costs are accounted for.

That's the conversation we have with every investor before they commit to anything. Get in touch today: https://cal.com/team/bailey-capital/meeting

A lot of the supported housing market runs on the same model as traditional property sales: source a lead, make the case, close the deal.

We think that's the wrong starting point.

Our team includes decades of financial planning and investment management experience, and the approach that comes with it is simple. The right property for the right investor, not the highest commission for anyone who'll take it.

That sometimes means telling someone that supported housing isn't right for them right now. We'd rather have that conversation early than see someone invest in something that doesn't match what they're actually trying to achieve.

It's also why our relationships with investors don't end once a property is reserved. Many of the people we work with come back for a second property, and sometimes a third, because the first one was the right fit from the start.

That's the model we've built Bailey Capital around: honest conversations first, structure second, and a long-term relationship built on getting it right the first time.

One of our investors, Philip, recently shared what his experience with Bailey Capital has looked like.

Philip and his wife retired to Portugal a few years ago after building a career in real estate, so they understand property risk better than most. He's now on his third property with us.

"The lease you get is very different. The vast majority of the risks are covered. You get revenue from day one, as soon as you sign your contract and get your deed, even while the property is being refurbished and residents are moved in. We get the income reliably, on the first of every month."

That's the part people are often surprised by. The income doesn't wait for the refurbishment to finish. It starts from day one.

Philip put it simply: the process has been smooth from start to finish, and he wouldn't hesitate to invest again.

We're grateful to investors like Philip who take the time to share their experience. It's exactly the kind of feedback that shapes how we work.

Last week was a first for us: our first panel-style webinar, with Will joined by John and Richard.

Here's what you missed if you weren't there...

You missed hearing directly from the 3 people behind a model that's delivered thousands of properties and £260M+ invested to date.

You missed the reality of what it takes to source a property, take it back to brick, and get it ready for a 15 to 25 year lease.

You missed the breakdown of exactly how rent is set and approved, and why that's the single biggest factor in whether an investment is sustainable long term.

You missed the different reasons people are investing right now: after selling a business, receiving an inheritance, or simply wanting a more secure income than they're currently getting elsewhere.

You missed the investor side of the conversation: what happens to your money, how the structure protects it, and what questions you should be asking before you commit.

And you missed a live Q&A where we answered all of the attendees' questions.

Here's how you can get involved moving forwards 👇

We recently caught up with Elliot, one of the contractors who works on our refurbishments, to walk through a property mid-transformation.

Every property is taken fully back to brick. External walls are insulated. Full re-plumb, full re-wire, throughout. Fire doors fitted in every room where required.

Compliance isn't an afterthought, it's built into the process from the start. Fire regulations, asbestos testing, legionella testing, PAT testing, all completed and signed off before a property is handed over.

This particular home is a three-bedroom property with en suites throughout and ceiling heights you rarely see in newer housing stock, the kind of detail that gets lost when a building isn't given the time or investment it needs.

This is what "back to brick" means in practice. Not a phrase we use for effect, but the standard every property goes through before it's fit to become somebody's home.

Structure matters more than most investors realise, and it's not just about the property.

In this conversation, John talks through the three structures he looks at with every investor: the structure of the property itself, the structure of the lease, and how the property is owned.

That third one is where Simon Thandi, Director and Founding Partner at UK Landlord Tax comes in. As Simon explains, the right ownership structure depends entirely on individual circumstances, there's no one-size-fits-all answer, and it's about what's genuinely in the client's best interest.

John's take from referring clients to Simon: whichever route people choose, they walk away with real clarity and the knowledge to make the decision that's right for them.

A useful watch if you're thinking about how a property investment should be structured effectively.

Most supported housing investment providers do one part of the process well. Sourcing. Or refurbishment. Or lease structuring. Rarely all three.

At Bailey Capital, we do all of it under one roof.

We source the property. We take it back to brick. We agree the lease with the provider before the property is even purchased. We check there's real, sustainable local demand for the type of support being offered. And we're there through to handover.

That's different to how a lot of this market works. In many cases, a property is sourced by one party, refurbished by another, leased through a broker, and managed by a provider who had no say in any of the decisions before them. Accountability gets diluted at every handoff.

When one company controls sourcing, refurbishment, and lease structure from the start, there's less that can go wrong along the way, and full accountability if it does.

It's also why we're selective. Not every property, and not every referral, is the right fit. We'd rather turn something down than force a fit that doesn't work.

Structure matters more than any headline yield. That's what we focus on at Bailey Capital.

"Is this a scam?"

We get it. On paper, this can look too good to be true. Government-funded income, no maintenance, no management fees. You're right to question that.

As Will explains in this video, when you buy a property with us, you own the property. Full security of the bricks and mortar.

We've also put together a full breakdown of our approvals process, the exact things to check with us or with anyone else in this market, so you can satisfy yourself it's legitimate before you commit to anything.

"Would we be happy with them wearing a branded t-shirt?"

This is something we like to consider when we're deciding whether a potential contractor or partner operates at the standard we require.

It's not solely about ticking boxes for us. Would we be comfortable with them representing us on site, in front of a resident, in front of a provider?

If the answer's no, we don't work together. It's as simple as that.

Specialist supported housing is the provision of both housing and care under one roof. It gives people who wouldn't otherwise be able to live independently the chance to live a thriving, close to independent life.

Right now, hundreds of thousands of people who need this kind of housing are living in unsuitable accommodation. Some are at home, in a setting their family simply isn't able to support them to live successfully in. Others are in long-stay hospitals, which creates two problems. It doesn't give them a real chance at an independent life, no front door key of their own, no real freedom. And it costs the government a significant amount of money.

Specialist supported housing solves both of these problems at once. It gives people access to their own home, somewhere they can live for a huge proportion of their lives, with a genuine degree of independence, their own front door key, and a real chance to thrive.

It works for investors too. Every pound invested into supported housing is reported to save the government between £3 and £9. Impact and financial sense, solving the same problem from two directions.

This is why we do what we do.
