At Portico Investment, we’ve always been passionate about helping investors find high‑quality, resilient property opportunities that deliver excellent long‑term returns. Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of our Specialist Supported Housing (SSH) investment offering — a purpose‑driven, future‑focused asset class now available through Portico.
Why This Matters for Investors
There are several compelling reasons why Specialist Supported Housing is becoming one of the most talked‑about sectors in UK property investment:
🔹 Secure Income Over the Long Term
SSH investments typically involve long‑term leases (10-25 years), with rent funded through Housing Benefit and linked to inflation. This gives investors a predictable, resilient income stream, even during market volatility.
🔹 Hands‑Off Ownership
With fully managed properties, responsibility for tenant support, maintenance, and day‑to‑day operations sits with professional providers — not the investor.
🔹 Strong Demand and Social Impact
Demand for specialist housing far outpaces supply in the UK, and many analysts estimate there are hundreds of thousands of people currently without access to suitable supported accommodation. Investing in this space enables meaningful social impact while meeting a structural housing need.
🔹 ESG and Purpose‑Led Investing
For many investors today, financial returns and social responsibility go hand‑in‑hand. SSH supports both — delivering robust returns while helping vulnerable people live independently and safely.
