While the UK suffers from a chronic undersupply of suitable rental properties in general across the market, one of the most undersupplied groups of renters, are those in need of affordable or subsidised housing.
As the UK government look to address the lack of housing for key workers, individuals and families on low incomes, social housing investments have become more and more popular with those looking to make a socially conscious investment, whilst also generating healthy long-term returns. What's more, social housing investments are government-backed, making them some of the lowest-risk investment opportunities on the market.
