Business Description
and Investing Strategy
The Investing Policy is that of an investment property company acquiring and holding freehold properties (and, in rare cases, long lease-hold properties) in specialised sectors of the property market. The initial and primary focus will be investing in purpose-built homes for adults with learning difficulties requiring support from carers (for example adults with autism), purpose-built care homes for the elderly and inform and converted dwellings accommodating young adults/late teens requiring extensive support from social services. The Investing Policy for the Company will also allow it to invest in other specialist areas such as wedding and conference centres, other leisure facilities and, if sufficiently non-mainstream, residential or commercial property.
The current focus of this investing policy is on property in the United Kingdom.

Specialised Investment
Property Sectors
The areas listed above are outside of the classic investment property mainstream of commercial buildings let to businesses of good covenant on full repairing and insuring leases with five yearly upward only rent reviews. However, in many cases they can offer strong long-term security of income streams and, because they are more complex and specialised, offer higher initial yields. In many cases they also offer inflation indexed rents. If acquired on prudent debt/equity gearing ratios, they can offer attractive return on equity and the prospect of medium term capital growth as the chosen specific property category grows and becomes better appreciated by mainstream property investors.

Initial
Programme
