The outlook for property development in West Sussex is positive. JLH Homes is proud to be a part of the home regeneration revolution. In our opinion, the investment potential is immense. And, we know the need for accessible properties to rent here is drastic.
Our focus is on affordable social housing for vulnerable individuals and families in West Sussex.
JLH Homes’ expertise lies in transforming under-utilised or vacant commercial properties into modern, efficient living spaces; practical, good-quality residential units yet with reasonable rents for those priced out of the market. Equally, people in need of safety and security of tenure.
We aim to re-invigorate local communities, meeting the requirements of today’s renters while delivering robust investment returns for our investors. Refer to our property investment page for more information.
There is more demand than safe, affordable housing available.
This is, at the risk of cliché, the best of both worlds.
Here are some key reasons:
The south coast draws families and individuals alike, and property prices are lower than London. However, there’s a massive disconnect between average earnings and the cost of getting on the housing ladder.
Did you know that local councils are keen for older commercial buildings to be re-purposed to meet the needs of the local population, and their own housing targets?
Generally, these developments come under Permitted Development. Fabulous news: Expensive, time-consuming planning applications are, most likely, not going to be involved.
Rental yields are attractive, with significant potential for high returns on these types of flexible, cheaper homes. And, even more so when infrastructure and regeneration projects are happening.
In addition, consider the likelihood of tax incentives and grants in this sector, plus possible new zoning and regulatory mandates for a proportion of inexpensive units in larger developments. If it has to be done, why not be a part of it?
Sustainable construction methods and buildings that keep energy in could offer exceptional long-term value for the properties, should a re-finance deal be appropriate.
These developments will be completed and fully occupied through partnerships with social housing providers to ensure a consistent rental income from the start.
By investing in affordable housing, you’re directly contributing to improving lives and strengthening communities. Providing safe, secure homes for vulnerable individuals creates long-lasting, meaningful change.
In our view, sound acquisition in bricks and mortar is one of the best and most reliable ways to invest.
There’s no one-size-fits-all investment structure. There are discussions to be had. And, decisions to be made. All our deals are tailored, so contact us. Let’s talk.
