Buying a property, in four steps
Choose a property
A specialist takes you through the properties, the lease and the price. Purchases are cash only for now, with prices from £144,000.
Your solicitor checks it
Your own solicitor reviews the lease, the provider and the title before you commit. We don’t give legal advice.
You complete, and the lease starts
The lease with the registered provider is signed as you complete on the property, so it is let from day one.
Rent comes to you every month
The Department for Work and Pensions pays the housing provider, and the provider pays you under the lease, every month from the day you complete.
What you own, and who does the rest
How the arrangement works, in five points.
You own the home
The title is in your name. You don’t choose residents, arrange care or collect rent from the people who live there.
A registered provider leases it
For 25 years, signed as you complete. The provider places the residents, runs the home, and repairs and insures it.
Rent comes to you every month
The Department for Work and Pensions pays the provider, and the provider pays you under the lease. It rises each year by CPI plus 1%, and depends on the provider paying it.
Support is arranged separately
A care provider supports the residents day to day, funded by the council. It doesn’t lease the home.
Residents hold their own tenancies
It is their home. Each person’s tenancy is with the housing provider, not with you.

Questions people ask first
What is specialist supported housing?
Homes adapted for people with care and support needs, such as a learning disability, autism or a mental health condition. A buyer owns the home and leases it to a registered housing provider, which places the residents and runs it.
How it worksWho is the lease with, and for how long?
A housing provider registered with the Regulator of Social Housing, for 25 years. It is signed as you complete, and your solicitor reads it before you commit.
How much do I need, and can I use a mortgage?
Prices start from £144,000. Purchases are cash only for now: if you would want a mortgage, tell us when you enquire and we’ll let you know if that changes.
Who looks after the building?
The provider. The leases on our homes are full repairing and insuring: the provider repairs, maintains and insures the home, and pays for it. Your solicitor should confirm this in each lease.
What happens if the provider fails?
The rent can stop. The lease usually lets you take the home back or pass it to another provider, but that can take time, and the home may earn nothing meanwhile. Read the risk warning, and ask your solicitor what each lease says.
Is this regulated by the FCA?
No. Alderton Hale introduces buyers to new homes and is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Buying a home through us is not a regulated investment, and the Financial Ombudsman Service and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme do not cover it. We don’t give financial, tax or legal advice, so take independent advice before you buy.
