Founded in 2019, UK Communiiity Homes Group (“UKCH”) are engaged in the acquisition and consolidation of up to 2,000 high yielding residential units in the North of England.
UKCH value add Investment strategy is to constantly source a pipeline of distressed buildings and commercial properties such as ex-care homes, pubs with residential, care homes and underperforming hotels which then undergo a remodelling process of refurbishment and sometimes change of use. The diverse tenant profile includes local low income workforce, care workers , government supported community , vulnerable and social care cases.
UKCH project management team extracts essential key data points from each project allowing the design team to remodel each asset with a view to maximise the income potential when completed. UKCH construction arm then implements the remodelling process, creating more revenue than its current positioning allowed with vital top management oversight.
UKCH strives to achieve positive ESG impact and socially responsible practices to each of its projects. Our goal is to provide sustainable income streams from property-based portfolios whilst improving tenant living conditions and support of local communities.
UKCH has been operating within this niche market for 4 years now and is perfectly placed to take advantage of perfect storm, showing all economic indicators in favour of the success of the future development of the project. The current opportunity on the UK market is a replica to that of the 2008 crisis in the United States which Blackstone took full advantage, boasting a whopping USD 6 billion injection into the Private Rental Space.
The current levels of declining property values in the UK’s target areas versus an increasing trend in rental income provide excellent high rental yields in coming years and create a special investment opportunity with possible high value appreciation of investment yield properties once the debt interest rates soften over next years.
The Company consists of 2 founding members with extensive experience within the international property and investment management sectors. Through their experience and established track records they have amassed a comprehensive network of qualified local sourcing, property agents and property managers as well as senior UK financial and legal advisors.
IMPACT - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Targeting to buy 2,000 units in the coming years UKCH understands the great responsibility that comes with it. Many lives will be touched and it is vital that we plan ahead. Social responsibility is one of those not seen, non-profit philanthropic endeavours that our Group will address and manage as we expand our real estate portfolio and tenant community.
Additional positive impact will involve cooperation with local city councils and housing associations to provide part of the portfolio for helping with the lack of social housing. UKCH will help fund and sponsor local schools needing computers, sports equipment, transportation and others. Supporting the elderly, handicapped and homeless community will be part of the on-going support that our Group can provide. Giving back to the new communities that we have become a part of.
Every little helps.
INNOVATION
Due to the founders‘ previous tech experience, it is planned that an add-on services and big data strategy will be implemented once the business reaches sufficient scale in number of units (500 and more).
INCOME
UKCH focuses on creating, sourcing, developing and co-managing "income producing" real estate assets (income & asset backed approach) in the UK with financial participation & support of various international equity & debt partners. UKCH implements proptech & fintech components to each of its projects to provide essential innovation and modernization to enhance and extract further value out of the assets.
Given the volatility of the markets due to the COVID-19 crisis, hard & stable income producing assets (such as UKCH affordable homes business) are an attractive alternative opportunity. Additionally, within the real estate sector it is not exposed to such downturn risks now as for example mid-to-high end residential, office and hospitality real estate assets.
Our goal is to provide sustainable income streams from UK Affordable housing portfolios’.
